Keeping you upto date with the crushings of a punter! Monday, 23 January 2012. Off again on another weekend with perfect grit weather! Get in, The plan was to go Baslow and hit up the easy routes to solo and then have a little session at Flat World and The Eagle Stone. Driving over it was freezing, first day this year i've had to scrape ice off the windscreen, conditions were set to be perfect. So that was a week ago. And i've decided to complete the post and update people with my injury and rehab. I was...

Keeping you upto date with the crushings of a punter! Monday, 12 September 2011. Lazy but also busy. I get so lazy filling this thing in sometimes. I think of something brilliant to write but then when it comes to it i can never be arsed. To sum things up though i've been climbing loads, found my psyche with a week long trip to Font booked for November and 10 days sport climbing in Spain in December i need to get strong and fit.

Keeping you upto date with the crushings of a punter! Tuesday, 28 October 2014. Fontainehelm - Font in a ball bag. In February 2014 7 of us headed out to Font for a week to stay at The House. For Andy's stag do. We had such a laugh, pretty poor conditions as it was humid but we still climbed a few problems. I apologise for the poor selection of problems but for some reason these were the only clips i was left with. 3 x 8 sec straight arm 30 degree sloper (1.10 min rest between each). 3 x 8 sec straight a...

Keeping you upto date with the crushings of a punter! Saturday, 19 May 2012. After a cracking session at Longridge last week the psyche had returned to boulder. Finding myself with some time off me and Helen decided on a four day trip up to Northumberland, I'd always heard good reports about the place but just never found myself the time or the weather to get up there. This was to be the weekend though! Waking up Saturday to glorious sunshine and clear blue skies, psyched! Deffo one for the DFBWGC! All i...

Youngy's blog: Taking the chance
http://youngysblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/taking-chance.html
Keeping you upto date with the crushings of a punter! Monday, 7 May 2012. Having spent the majority of time indoors still and not really touching real rock i was keen to get back out and the forecast for the bank holiday weekend was good but there was me on another kayaking course! As suspected he said it's a bit greasy and thinks its only just dried out. A quick MTFU self talk and i find myself in the same situation but this time a slight alteration of the body and BOOM!

Pear of joy: June 2010
http://pearofjoy.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
In truth a fruit both ripe and sweet. Friday, 18 June 2010. All this dry climbing at the Cornice reminds me of the year I got involved with another seepage prone peak crag, Thor’s Cave. Yep, I'm going to bang the Thor's drum, again! I’ll describe the route here and maybe someone will be tempted to check the place out. The easiest and most popular of these is Midgard Serpent 7b , a crazy line up a ridiculously overhanging trench, requiring imagination and proficient use of knees. The lefthand one, Spear o...

Keeping you upto date with the crushings of a punter! Monday, 1 September 2014. On the blog again. So seems like reading my last post when I promised I would be posting more i must have been lying. What have a been doing? Well, turns out to be an awful lot. After the winter and getting to this level i knew that the focus would have to shift this year and more time spent in the hills on big mountain crags and sea cliffs getting some finalising routes in before i went for MIA training which i finally compl...

Pear of joy: Autumn Gold
http://pearofjoy.blogspot.com/2009/09/autumn-gold.html
In truth a fruit both ripe and sweet. Friday, 25 September 2009. Since doing The Great Tribulation I’ve been only going out on the grit. Funny really, I spend all summer hanging on for bits of limestone to dry, then after repeated disappointment I give up and turn elsewhere only for the buggers to go and dry out! I wonder if anyone’s looked at the bastard Cheedale Cornice lately. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the stuff there is bone dry. Typical. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
