So, rather than clogging my inbox with thousands of PM's, why don't we just post in here if we want to catch up for a climb? :eh:

I'll start- danose and slg are missioning tonight, yes?

missioning? more like floundering weakly....but yes, 6.30 at the roxx :thumbsup:

I keep trying to tell myself the grading has got harder and not that my arms are weaker

Butch · *by **Butch** on Wed 29/Apr/09 2:35pm*

No, the grades are definately harder. Look, Bogus Machisimo used to be 30, remember! :thumbsup:

It's got one move that's hard 24. I think the locals went a bit overboard with a few routes up there.

Oh, I won't be there tonight incidentally.

I could be up for a mission somewhere on Saturday though, Castle Hill antone? (weather permitting)

I thought there were a lot of pseudo-familiar faces there - it's a well known fact I can't recognise people without helmets on their heads

I've got a sore foot too, so I'm out for the next 10 or so days probably

Dude, you don't recognise people with helmets on their heads either! :rolleyes:

yeah, that's true - actually the real problem is I can't recognise people away from the norm - so yesterday I had trouble recognising mfw cos he DIDN'T have a helmet on, whilst one of the other people on the course (who we used to climb with heaps so I'm used to see sans lid) I had trouble recognising cos she DID have a helmet on :blush:
