news and plans from italy (Read 13898 times)

Nibile · February 12, 2008, 12:28:20 pm

sunday, in baltic, perfect conditions, i put months of work with the guru into one single move, and climbed out of service in good style (mossy topout excluded).
the surprise of latching the arete and feeling my body staying there is still with me, with the following thought "what now?" since i had never practiced the real topout.
anyway, i'm proud to say it's the first repeat in five or six years.

psyched from this feat, and having already climbed all the hardest lines in italy,

, i immediately went to the nearest train station and booked for march 4th one place to paris, from where i will join brit pulling monster uncle for some serious pulling down (by him) and some modest pulling (from me), trying to score in the place of places.
it will obviously be a great, immediate success, and therefore i will right away put myself on the road, and on the sea, again, to join all you crazy ukb'ers in your mother land.

this march is going to be nice i think.

YES YES FUCKING YES.

and, guru, thankyou.

How long will you be out for Nibs? Quite a few of us heading out at the end of
March...

Nibile · February 15, 2008, 07:11:48 pm

if i can sort out a transport from paris to the uk, i should be there on march 5th. i will have two and half days, before getting back to font on march 8th, to meet fellow brit uncle.
suggestions on how to get there from paris?

The Eurostar is as nice and quick as trains get. From London you can decide where you want to go.

Houdini · February 15, 2008, 07:26:21 pm

If I can mustle the cluster then trains are always my 1st choice, if you don't have so much then choose the buses and ferry yourself across as a foot passenger.

Nibile · February 15, 2008, 07:29:53 pm

Houdini · February 15, 2008, 07:31:49 pm

Monolith · February 15, 2008, 07:44:55 pm

Free accomodation and food though Lore!

Houdini · February 15, 2008, 07:46:53 pm

Why not fly? Get cheap and book now.

GCW · February 15, 2008, 07:57:18 pm

Nibs- Please let us know where you will be and when. I for one would love to tag along to meet The Legend

Nibile · February 18, 2008, 01:10:08 pm

hey,
sorry for the lack of info, but my internet connection has failed and i am going to sue them. anyway... i should be in uk between march 5th and march 6th until the 8th, depends on public transport: i get to paris on the 5th in the morning, the i will catch a eurobus to london, then something to l'pool. i think i will be staying at monolith's, but i still haven't told him... it's a short period, but that's what i've got.

i'd better climb well, if you come along...

BenF · February 18, 2008, 01:17:14 pm

Monolith's already been trying to arrange transport to get you out to Devil's Gorge for a lamplight session. Personally I think you should go to a proper crag, but try telling that to Tom...

Nibile · February 18, 2008, 01:34:50 pm

ok, sorted the bus out.
will be in london on march 5th at 6 30 pm, then i will try ti get to somewhere with something climbable.

You're too male and ugly to make it in the groupie dept.

If you looked like hot Italian babe, Sara Tommasi, you might be in w/ a chance

Monolith · February 18, 2008, 01:38:12 pm

I'm littering the spare room bed with rose petals for you Lore as we speak...

I just wanna hear "Yes, Yes, fucking Yes" in person.

Promises, promises...

Fiend · February 18, 2008, 05:17:12 pm

Anyone who dares to take his Nibs to some crappy limestone bog-hole venue should be puntered, shot, and puntered again.

and that includes the cave and the snore

Monolith · February 18, 2008, 05:22:15 pm

Don't panic Fiend, some serious thought will go into his stay.

andy popp · February 18, 2008, 05:33:23 pm

There's going to be no need to go as far as Devil's Gorge when Pex will be so handy eh? If the weather craps out the Widnes woodie would be pround to play host to his nibs.

BenF · February 18, 2008, 08:30:47 pm

Tom, listen to Andy. He speaks truth about Pex. Take Lorenzo there. I'll meet you for sure.

Nibile · February 18, 2008, 08:46:02 pm

i have an appointment with rockatrocity...
