Workin the works

Been a slow week in climbing terms. Had monday off with HM and had a nice day, back to work on the Tuesday, first climbing day Wednesday at Leeds. Felt like un sac de merde and it was all hard work. Did a couple of things I thought was climbing ok, but skin still poor and not really on it.

Thursday went to the Works in the evening. Good crowd down there, but rather nervous about going for it at the top of the wall since Paul's accident. Jon and I started spotting each other! Put in some good links on a hard yellow problem and felt a bit more like normal. Hard work climbing on a climbing wall when you have become accustomed to outside basic-ness. Ideal training for the Peak I suspect (if it ever stops raining).

Friday went for a run. A week and a bit off running is evident too. 5.4km in 30 mins. Friday night loads of snow landed in Sheffield and we went night sledging! fantastic! found a good long run in bingham park and burnt off the goth teens who had only sheets of plastic! They were all desperate for a go in our sub £5 plastic sledge. Saturday had a headache all day, and did some DIY.

Sunday went to the climbing works and had a good session. Got to go to Leeds now to sisters for tea. More later. Or perhaps when something happens!

What's yousez wall plans this week? Might be tempted by the Foundry for a change, I hear they have a good set of probs up. Maybe Tues School, Thurs Foundry, but open to suggestions. have run out of stuff to do at works. That black on the barrel being 8d+.

Have stuck a couple more drawings up on the pearofjoy BTW

What time will you chaps make it to the wall. Didn't get over to Paul's last night so was thinking of dropping in either before or after wall seeing as he lives quite close.

Can I come too? Well, I am anyway.

"New" problems at the foundry are like gold dust and I am in need of some basic cranking as a change from slopey-heel-hook to volume-gaston to sandpaper-sprag type stuff.

At this rate, the whole of Sheffield will be dispatching gritty projects like the've gone out of fashion, but will be piss poor when Harris calls the Lime season open.
See you tonight.
