Which is somewhat dependent upon...

The weather definately helped too, ive never experienced dry periods on the lime as long as this before.


Quite. In my previous climbing career as a UK weekend trad punter, I can count the number of dry weekends I ever experienced on, e.g., Cloggy on the thumbs of one hand.

I bagged my first 'hard' sport route last night.
Effort. Nice one

Finished my degree on Thursday. Caley this evening. Doing bold routes, it would seem, is so much easier when your head isn't riddled with stress.

Just got back from my first taste of the grit :)

Couple of nights in the Don Whillans Hut then played around on Upper and Lower Tier boulders at the Roaches. Top stuff.

Got utterly spanked in terms of grades, and wussed out of Joe's arete as I sprained my ankle a few months ago and still not 100% confident landing on it from height - but had a wicked time all the same.

Aside from the quality of the bouldering, was also blown away as to how stunning it is up there.
I can see what the fuss is about now....

Grit is king. Good effort for getting out on it :)

Wtf

glad you enjoyed yourself, but that's not exactly an arduous journey

this is a bouldering site. its not a good effort if someone goes out bouldering

did Durbs accidentally sit on your hamster whilst enjoying the grit   :-*

This isn't significant repeats and maybe is a yyfy moment for a grit-virgin.

So I went to Stoney Middleton. Onsighted Bubbles- E4 6b (I thought E3 6a), lapped it 2 times on toprope, seconded carl's wark crack, flashed Quent's dyno (I thought font 6c, though) Did the Kirton Dyno 2nd go (Once again 6c) and then nailed Lucian's undercut. BOOM.

Lucian's undercut by any chance? You showed me the problem a while ago, and I've had a real epic on the last move.

Dense maybe you could start your own thread called 'You are shit shit fucking shit', where we can all post about things that have made us happy, but you could counter-post pointing out that we're actually all pretty average. Afterall, it's good to keep grounded   :hug:

Things have been falling together recently. Got Not My Stile, New Jerusalem and the Pinch ticked at Caley. Also worked up the courage for Permutation rib ;D

But today the cherry on top was getting Demon Wall Roof done! My first V7, well happy :great:
