Balls to the Tor
Is this what it's like living in Sheffield? Yesterday was the best conditions I've ever experienced at the Tor. That exeprience is actually limited to about 5/6 visits, but that's not the fuckin point. Today I woke up (late) excited to get involved with some tiny limestone crimps, but its not to be. Wetter than an otters pocket, as they say.
Yesterday I had a successful climb managing to do that thing on the undercuts (near pinches wall) and link powerband to the last move. I realised that I need to try the last move in isolation as my finger hurt too much after working the traverse. Its strange how the holds on this feel massive, but have the propencity to cause me so much pain.
AMAZING, just did a search for a picture of powerband to get me psyched (yes Tyler that is how it's spelt) and found this!
I wonder if we can get hold of any Japanese bouldering video and do a tour...............it would probably see us injured trying to mono on some heinous Dai problem thats V1000
This is a picture of the lights at the Watergate club we went to in Berlin
Unfortunately you can't see any of the German models in this shot

Opening gambit
In the valley of the blind the one eyed man is king......................
Seeing as UKB has gone to shit I thought I would start this blog to keep in touch with friends
I think this whole 'karma' setting has policed the chat, with few people willing to attack/annoy/ridicule people through fear of minus points. There's also this sycohantic trait to bolster egos. It's all shite. Say what you like and like what YOU BLOODY WELL SAY!
THE IDIOTS ARE NOT WINNING
Anyway I'm off to bed soon as the weather might be OK tomorrow. I think Char might be coming up, but it looks like the rain will come in the afternoon.
Its amazing it wasn't pissing it down just like the other day
Wednesday football ground uncharacteristically full
