  1. Of all the people I climb with other than myself, it's usually Jeremy that pushes me to try hard stuff. Last Wednesday was no exception and Ban-Y-Gor is full of hard stuff - the "6a" we warmed up on was thoroughly sandbagged, for example... After spending quite some time working out Gordonzola and then sending it this, described in the guide as "expect to work for it", was probably a little optimistic. Insanely hard moves (especially for the alleged grade!) and I couldn't find a sequence to the traverse that worked for my strength and reach. Still, on less mind-and-body-blasted reflection, there were a couple of unlikely things I could try. The press and mantle after, which I finally figured *how* to do after lots of swinging around, left me so core-thrashed I couldn't actually *do* it - a shame as the roof section looked fun. One of those routes torn between "No £$&!ing way am I doing that to myself again!", and "Maybe if I try fresh and do something weird, it might go!". Being generally bats, I'll probably end up on the "ouch"-side... If nothing else, there's always the direct start and the Good Friday Agreement that shares the same start to try - Both harder on paper, but oddly looking more achievable than that blank section on the traverse... By the way, this video represents around 5 minutes out of almost 45 spent dogging the route!

  3. Miners, change, Nikolay Alekseevich Kasatkin, 1895

    I think this is really interesting and I'm not sure why or how it has this sort of ghostly thing happening, like we are in a different but neighboring dimension. Maybe we look like that to the miners, that's why they're staring at us with glowing eyes. Or it's a haunted mine, and hasn't been in operation for years, and we're witnessing the moment before a big cave-in when hundreds of miners died. Agh! holding our heads as the ghost vision hits us. There's injustice here and it's up to us to tell the truth about what happened.😁

    Good night 🤣

  5. Self-Portrait, Teofil Ociepka, 1960

    whoops I posted before I wrote anything. I found a lot more of this artist's work here, great blog!

    I identify with this person's plight. I love all the colors. Apparently he was a self-taught miner, which I really respect, and he was nuts, which I also respect. (that is unqualified, but I'd make that argument 😁 Perhaps he was sane and the world is nuts.)

  7. A quotation from James Howell

    Do thou thy best, and leave to God the rest.

    James Howell (c. 1594–1666) Welsh historian and writer
    Paroimiographia [Παροιμιογραφία]: Proverbs, or, Old Sayed Sawes & Adages, “New Sayings,” 2nd Century (1659)

  8. Having got my sendgeance on Anonymous Bosch, we moved a couple of routes down to this thin, balancy-looking corner to step things up a notch. To be honest I wasn't actually expecting to onsight this, but was super-chuffed to get the send. Definitely a lot of try-hard and sheer bloody-mindedness to keep going towards the top, which I am also quite proud of. Surprisingly for me, my inner monologue didn't break and I didn't start talking and swearing at myself... Maybe because of all the helpful encouragement from Jeremy Donaldson that I was vaguely aware of in the background :-) Thanks also to Robin James for the patience watching us try this stuff after he broke himself...

  10. "OK, so it was a hard upper-body workout yesterday and my shoulders are sore, but why don't I have another go at that roof I keep dropping? What could possibly go wrong?"

  12. The new @WhiteSpiderCLimbing comp wall set is rather fun. Bit of a grade gap between the (softish) 6c to this blue 7a+ (or nails 7a maybe if you have fingers of steel), but all top routes with great movement. This one is no exception with classic @YannGenoux vibes - tough, technical, interesting, progressively harder, and the crux at the top. Didn't feel up to trying this the first session, but did everything easier so now it's time to #TryHard !

  14. Some days, your get-up-and-go feels like it got up and went... But on some of those days, you can still find a little try-hard if you look under the cushions.
    3 long, pumpy, 7a tries in quick succession is maybe something of a record for me... Especially with a couple of equally long and pumpy 6c(+) roofs (one on the stal-roof, one in the cave) thrown in. Getting close on the black and the other two definitely go fresh!
    Some nice catching from Shan

  15. Well, it's been a long and kinda tiring week, but I think I'll take "Hopelessly optimistic project tries" for $100 please, Alex.

  16. Got another session on that cave roof; that's two and a half sessions including the original flash try... Getting close, but T-3 weeks-ish before it's reset. Will I get it? Stay tuned for the next exciting(?) episode.

  17. Another from the "trying hard at White Spider Climbing" series... New comp wall set has lots of goodies to play with and some actually friendly grades for a change! This one's definitely easier than my other project, but equally entertaining, if only for the good air at the end! Thanks to Jon Koplin for the catch and encouragement.

  18. I appreciate the use of #hashtags on #mastodon and they are an integral part of how i use the #platform but if you post like #this with tags running thru the body of your #post not only am i #skipping the post regardless of its #content i will likely #mute if not #block your account based on pure stylistic #principle. I don't need this #hackneyed #tryhard #engagement #bait #bullshit in my #timeline #thanks

  20. Little bit frustrated with my project at the moment, but it's such a good route and so close to my limit (on the "wrong" side) that I'm keeping at it. Probably I'm nuts; there's another new "7a" just round the corner that I got all the moves in 2 sections on my flash attempt... But where's the fun in that? 😂

  22. Someone either doesn’t have enough to do or is a pathetic try hard. 🤓🇩🇪

    Narrator: He was definitely a try hard

  23. When I'm low energy and not up for sketching or painting, I'll often take a few watercolor paints, add some random pools of water and then tip the paper gently and roll everything around.

    Often I get this wonderful watercolor mixing magic going on and think "This is better than the stuff I work hard at doing".

    Need to channel that IDGAF energy more, I think.

    Where are the #bronze_stuck weekend volleyball #casuals and sweaty triple-diamond #tryhard Olympic gymnasts?

    As we enter the era of #trans #liberation, high-#tech #prosthetics, and modifications to the human #genome, when will we abandon our old lines and get on with the human story?
