And i've decided to complete the post and update people with my injury and rehab. I was...

Youngy's blog: September 2011

http://youngysblog.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

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...

Youngy's blog: Northumberland Joy

http://youngysblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/northumberland-joy.html

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!

Wide Boyz Blog: Taming The Cobra

http://wideboyz.blogspot.com/2013/09/taming-cobra.html

Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker's Stories From The Wide Side. Sunday, 22 September 2013. For the last 3 weeks, we have been out in Squamish trying to fulfill yet another madcap mission: to climb Cobra Crack. Why would two guys from a country that barely has a crack above the standard of 5.12 / 7a want to take on such a ridiculous goal? Surely, we would be best off sticking to what Brits do best? So where does this leave us, three weeks into a three-and-half week long trip? Was our training any good? The r...

Wide Boyz Blog: February 2012

http://wideboyz.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker's Stories From The Wide Side. Tuesday, 14 February 2012. Newspapers and The Golden Piton Award. This last week has been a very strange one indeed. It’s been hectic, frantic and surreal – I’m not really sure if any of it has happened to be honest…. Dreaming of wide again? Mostly, it’s been reassuring to be back in the climbing community talking the same old banter and getting grief off everyone for how bad my grading on routes is. Finally…………….
