Perpetually doing, but never done. Thursday, 26 March 2009. Off to Malham Cove on Saturday to get spanked! I'm a little apprehensive about going; it's been 10 months since I last tied in and Malham looks rather intimidating. On the other hand, I am psyched and if I pretend my name is Jerry or Wolfgang or Jibe, I'm sure I'll be just fine. PMA! I'll let you know how it goes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Penelope's Web: Commiserate or Celebrate?

http://penny-penelopesweb.blogspot.com/2009/06/commiserate-or-celebrate.html

Perpetually doing, but never done. Tuesday, 16 June 2009. Some of you may laugh and tell me that it only gets worse, and you’re probably right, but I think that no matter what age you are a birthday can represent missed opportunities, regrets or failures. And no matter how insignificant these might be there is always that little question “what if? 8221;  . The problem is, that until fairly recently, I had no idea what climbing would become for me: That is, all consuming. 30 June 2009 at 08:41.

Perpetually doing, but never done. Wednesday, 4 February 2009. Valentine's Day. What a crock of shit, eh? For me, there is only one true love in my life that I can always count on: climbing. Love doesn’t exist! I hear you say (Sam). Love could just be a euphemism for dependency or it could be a genuine mix of emotions for which there is no other, more definitive word. Whatever the true essence of love, I feel that I love climbing. For better or worse, climbing will always be with me. Sam's world of pain.

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey. Monday, 4 January 2010. Here is my excuse for not getting out nearly as much as I should have done over the Christmas hols. First day of hols and what happens? I wake up early to THIS and my lie-in is well and truly busted. Way too excited. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Michael Lee, Climbing? Sam's World Of Pain. View my complete profile.

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey: October 2009

http://alpinedreamer.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey. Wednesday, 28 October 2009. I have foregone a holiday all summer on the basis that work has been very busy and the conditions in Font are better towards autumn. I was desperate for some time off, time away from the office and some long stints of fresh air. I was also looking forward (with some trepidation, I must admit) to showing Tamsyn and Dina the joys of la foret domeniale de Fontainebleau and introducing them to real outdoor bouldering. Dina and Tamsyn were new to the...

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey: July 2009

http://alpinedreamer.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey. Tuesday, 21 July 2009. The weekend before last we had a fabulous day in Glen Coe. Diff was filming and I tagged along to carry bags, with the promise of a day's climbing in Glen Nevis on the Sunday. How often do you see the whole of Scotland spread out before you, tops as far as the eye can see, the sea in one direction and Rannoch Moor in the other. Even the Ben was cloud free. Incredible. It seems like an age since Caroline and I hopped it down to Kyloe Out for some boul...

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey: November 2009

http://alpinedreamer.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey. Tuesday, 10 November 2009. Keep Calm and Carry On. This website came to me, in relation to work, from a friend:. Keep Calm and Carry On: http:/ www.keepcalmandcarryon.com. After the last week or so of office life, it seems like an appropriate thing to remember, but I also wondered whether the phrase applies quite nicely to climbing. But also on that website I found this:. 8216;There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a cup of tea. ’. True to ...

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey: Starting Again

http://alpinedreamer.blogspot.com/2010/07/starting-again.html

Alpine Dreams of a Desk Monkey. Wednesday, 21 July 2010. It seems like a long time since I've been out bouldering. In fact, I know how long it is. My bouldering mat was still in it's shrink-wrapping from my last trip to Font in September last year. So much has happened since then. Is the default position to climb without permission and deal with it if a problem arises, or is one supposed to not climb because one has not obtained permission? Anyway, I opted for the former. I was the only one bouldering am...
