That sounds about right Falling Down. Wearing my red hoody and helmet. Thought I heard a bit of applause when I got there but thought it was someone doing Brad Pit. Cheers!
Who was the DFBWGC attempting BP?

[Falling Down]

There were a lot of UKB'ers down in the pit at that point so you'll have to ask. I was attempting the hanging arête up and L off BP with Jim and a couple of mates.

[Jim]

was anyone not at stanage that day?
are you refering to me FD? you should of introduced yourself.

[GCW]

was anyone not at stanage that day?

 
Had the little darlings.

On a separate note, I saw someone come off Don a few weeks back.  Just before the end of difficulties, foot popped and the guy flew off into the Groove.  Nasty fall, but he seemed OK.
Good effort Will.  What's next?

Yeah that was me.  The short stumpy with short dark hair in old S7 pants, brown Marvin Gaye t-shirt, black fleece and anastazi velcros struggling to do your direct step on method to deliverance and then later succeeding on that nice little hanging arete we did above BP.

I don't know why I didn't introduce myself  My real name is Ben

Bon effort Will. And nice one on resurecting the YYFY thread. We need more YYFY's, come on guys, who else has crushed of late. Surely if everyone (apart from GCW and I) was at Stanage on the best day of the year then there must have been more YYFY's....

[SamD]

In relation to BP as far as i am aware a guy called remi was the only one of us down in the pit at that point to succeed and get a round of applause, unless it was me shouting after falling off the finishing jug lol.

[nik at work]

Nice skills Sam

[Jim]

it was remmelt, one of the dutch mafia on a flying visit, he did brad pit, the storm, the joker and pissed up wss 2nd go. not bad.
Today we went to stockport wall, needless to say he wasn't impressed.
We should look to the dutch when it comes to making indoor walls as thats all they climb on apart from going to font every so often

[robertostallioni]

Good effort Will.  What's next?  

Party time! Everyone 'round Wills for a laugh, a joke and a bit of a

(Well done Will)

[Jim]

It was a shame that every foothold was covered in chalk, even the high smear on deliverance. wtf is that about, was there a pandemic of cataracts that day or something??

[Oli]

I did T-Crack yesterday, my first 'proper' 7B. I was reet chuffed especially as I thought I wouldn't be able to link my gash campus sequence.

I reckon if anyone wasn't at Stanage, they must have been at Cratcliffe/RHS as it was rammed.

[GCW]

Chris Shamra has done a study that showed a combination of Evolv rubber and chalky holds gives the best friction.  You not follow SCIENCE?

[Carnage]

Mines not as good a Wills' but I did my first problem after 6 months laid off. It was a sub V0 that I brushed up at a new place. The sun was shining, the breeze was cool, my shoulder felt good- I was a happy man.

[Will Hunt]

What's next? 

Not Don, White Wand, Ulysses Bow or Unfamiliar that's for sure 
For me Archangel was all about the line. If it had been about the number I would have got on Don. I think I've had my fill of that kind of thing for now but am inspired to believe I've got what it takes for some similar grade face climbing.
I've been looking at Whisky Wall for a while now and telling myself that the reason I don't just do it is because I'm not that inspired to do it. Post-Archangel I reckon I could do Whisky Wall so am thinking I could use my euphoria and SYKE to go for it.


Oh, and if doing this kind of think is what it takes to get back to neutral cumulative Karma then I might just stick to being the whipping boy 
Was belayed on Archangel by the lady who had the lamb shanks who beasted out a VDiff and her first Severe. Props to her too 

[Will Hunt]

@ Carnage - Balls to the grade! Any personal milestone is a milestone. Effort on getting out after a lay-off, you must be psyched.

In retrospect there was a fair bit of YYFY around. That foreign fella topped out The Joker while me and friend were desperately trying to keep warm near Paradise Wall and there was a guy who topped something out, did a jig and called down to his mates "4 YEARS!". Bon effort to them all 

[Carnage]

Thanks! - super psyched. Now I've got a brand new shoulder to go out and destroy.

[fiveknuckle21]

This thread is awesome. I got up bright and early on Friday morn and had deliverance in the bag by 9am. Mustve tried it about 100 times. I too noticed all the chalk on the footholds though - way to add to the polish eh? Had a bash on Zippy's too and just couldn't finish it!

[butters]

I reckon if anyone wasn't at Stanage, they must have been at Cratcliffe/RHS as it was rammed.

Well they weren't at Slipstones that's for sure - it was deserted up there yesterday.

That was Worm on The Storm. A fine effort, and a good jig.

[Houdini]

Similar to seeing some journo-type (forget the name) doing Banana Finger after trying it for 25 years.

It was Ed Douglas - happiest man in Sheffield that night!
