What a Bloody Showoff

Wednesday at the Quarry.

Arrive down at the Grammer School, head down to the Car park by the MWAY and it's Full of "Officers of the Law" in Riot gear, end up turning arround and parkin up the top.

Col the Fruiter arrives an week head on down the steps. There is a Sign. All praise the constable. "Caution - Police Training Exercise".

So at the Bottom Field, in front of the Longside face there are all these big cops wearin Hawian shirts and school Lads in a running lane of chrshed beer cans.

Down come the Riot Rockies, they form up and eventualy chage the "Rioters" who are peltin them with cans.

any way the Master has shoved a TR on Defust (18) the Jugfest overhang right beside the milling "Rioters" and says "Warmup".

I tie in, and the Kids and Cops are lookin at the FBC like how the hell is that short fat barsted gonna get up there...............bang up it twice in quick, God I love to show off.

The rest of the night was into more serious, went and lead Bandersnatch (19) (trad) and that got us a TR on Badbehavour, a few of us got up there OK and then did good old Soliloqy (18) TR, but Slack Arse Belayer was incapable of keepin up. but it's only Soliloqy.

finally tried Barracuda (24) on TopR,pealed again, but Mr Careful gets on and is a picture of grace and economy.........All that Yoga.

Went home and ate a can of Beans .........

A Hot sunny Saturday

Just got home, 18:45, sounds like a freekin overture, Not too bad a day down at the Quarry in Auckland. But the Heat was makin the face slipery.

Meet Mr Ed, a young but very experenced Lad. god he made me feel old.

Start off with the old Master sweet talkin me into leadin (trad) Defust (18), now havin done it on the top rope Wednesday night, twice, I thought yeah, Maybe I should.

Well wasn't that was a good Idea ............... I finally got to the top, 3 nuts and 1 hex, and a lotta sittin latter. left one of me nut stuck up there and Mr Ed had to bash it out for me.

Mr Ed went on to Toprope The Raven (24) makin it look easy, I pealed from it.......yet again.

Went and lead Soliloqy (18) had a go at Baracuda (24)on TR.........pealed (yet) again I remember doin that on Wednesay and got up Bad Behavour (23) TR, but almost stuffed it at the top.

The Flyin man was there .... Marlined up Soliloqy, ... and that was my day.

What a good Weekend

The recovery continues.

The Tenis LBow has been reduced to anoying niggle, and the Pain in the butt is nearly under control (just got to stop the spending).

Saturday last was a Long side effront, Lead Soliloquy(18) and Bandersnatch(19) and got a top rope on Bad Behaviour(23).

Got the Game-gees (a newbee) to belay me up Soliloquy and did a fake fall to test his buddin skills, an he dune gooood. Had the Old Fella watchin him form below.

Mr Careful arrived and he ended up do'n Soliloquy(18) and Bandersnatch(19) and got a top rope on Bad Behaviour(23) followed by Barracuda(24). Damm he's climbin well.

Game-gees had a go at Revenge of the Lawn (21) and got about 1/2 way up, he boorrowed the Flyin man's shoes.
