Sounds like a plan. I am up for it. Sept is the perfect time before you none job faring people start complaining about missing lectures and labs and shite

and I don’t mean the many excellent parties/nights out/birthdays, while they involve club members, they aren’t club events and help to foster a certain cliqueyness)

 

I agree with what you are saying regarding having more social events as a club. The fact that the parties/nights out that people have and are attended by club members helps cre…[Read more]

The all seeing and all knowing

I see Peter. What your saying is its not our fault. ITS THE FRESHERS FAULT 😉

The future of QUBMC is fine. It existed before us, it will exist after and will go through much worse than what its been through since I have been here. Its gone through waves of cliqueyness and socialness which for me is not an issue as people always end up sticking around. If its a year where the club is a bit cliquey then less people stick…[Read more]

I think the honour role should be a page (with times where relevant)  on the site, along with the definitions of the challenges. I can do this as its little effort. The forum should be for planning attempts, talking about successes/failures and coming up with new ones

Also what about FM speed record
Stupidest thing brought up FM

For Fairhead challenges:

All prow E1s in a day

Routes:

The Doffer (Maybe Exclude this?) brutal offwidthyness requiring lots of #5 #6 cams and is usually filthy

Mongrel Fox
Thunderhips
Fireball

I have seen this at most walls and it works well. Laminated piece of paper with a grid colour, feet on, grade then just sharpie in the routes as they are set. In…[Read more]

Agreed! We really should make more use of the everest wall. especially now there are fixed draws. Makes setting so much easier

Check with Beggles but the courses are normally not on for a while after New Year. This gives us time to do a full reset over a week or 2. Getting a good number of people setting so there is a nice variety and range would be good.

I haven’t read the book. Thats my own thoughts. Can you not tell with my use of databases. There was a section on caching but I removed some of my ramblings.

Engrams ( muscle memory esque stuff) plays a huge part in climbing performance. The easiest way to get better at climbing is to climb a lot. All the moves you do while climbing get put into a database in your brain. The more movements you do the more movements are in your database. When you are starting out climbing this database is empty, you…[Read more]

One can dream yes. Perfect frictiony conditions

IMC hut all the way

You have memories that aren’t lifting? Lies

Trip is being run as a bouldering / hill walking trip. I will be taking the bouldering lot to Glendalough on Saturday and Glenmacnass on Sunday. The hill walkers will be walking in the hills
