A new bouldering place has opened up in town aaaaaaaaaaaand I'm yet to get there for a climb because I've been busy doing DIY and fixing cars and other dumb boring poo poo.

I did however buy a new rear wheel for my road bike which is nice and also means I don't have to ride my mountainbike to work any more which is cool. Also my garage gym is now getting sweatier due to the weather so I need to go buy a big fan.

My dream is to have enough space (this is a UK sized garage, not one of those lovely US style huge ones sadly) to house the PA kit I store elsewhere so I can happily work out to bowel-shatteringly loud sub-bass in peace.

One day.

Also the fridge + meat thing is a must.

Just climbed up Roy's peak in Wanaka, NZ. 1300M elivation gain in 2 hours. It's a steep one but the view was good. 1578M total height.

I have very limited upload ability in the hostel here, I'll upload some when it's easier.

Hiking in NZ is real cool, i did the tongariro crossing a few weeks ago too, it was very cool (lots of snow and ice) don't ever pay for a guide anywhere tho

Also did a few 24~km hikes through Abel Tasman national park, which is rad as hell but it's basically winter now so it's cold af

NZ from what I've seen is absolutely stunning. I spent some time up in Scotland last year and that's pretty great in terms of scenery too.

GoodbyeTurtles

:suezo:

South island is like Scotland but everything is a lot bigger. I mean from carpark to summit Roy's peak was about 1300m, which is taller than Ben Nevis in itself.

The next one I'm planning to climb before heading home is Ben Lomond @ 1748m (over 1500m base to summit), which is going to be brutal

Yeah a friend went to NZ and he said the scale of the outdoors there is just something else. It's on my list to visit, hopefully at some point before I get too old and rickety to enjoy it.

I've had to give up punching things due to loving up my wrist, so now I just jump rope for forever. It's good.

GoodbyeTurtles

:suezo:

I climbed the bigger mountain and it was way easier and not as steep as the last.

Tomorrow I bungy jump 134m from a gondola- any ideas what i should yell in my 8 seconds of freefall?

drat dude that sucks. Is it going to recover eventually or are you out of the punchsport game for good?

I feel like I'd be screaming something like "SUCK MY DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK" because I am a huge child.

Also please don't die.

I'm out for the foreseeable future. I'll miss hitting the heavy bag, but no biggie, there's a lot to do in the world y'know?

Olympic Mathlete posted:

I fell on it just right at work. Hurts like a sumbitch when I use the heavy bag and I have trouble picking up anything heavy with that hand, so I'm avoiding those things. Just doing plenty of jump rope and trying to get under a 7 minute mile again.

Ah that sucks, just take it easy (at least with the arm stuff) and become the best runboy you can be in the downtime

When i jumped i quietly said "piss" then fell silently into the abyss

Ouch. I recall when I pulled the tendons in my forearm whilst bouldering. I'd decided to sit down and climb a fairly pinchy route first thing on a nice cold day and completely failed to do any sort of warming up. The subsequent 'snapping' noise and mild pain suggested that what I'd just done was not cool and definitely not clever. I managed to struggle up a few big juggy climbs that day but I'd hosed myself proper, it was a solid 6 months before my grip felt as strong as it did.

Fair to say you're probably going to be really good at jumping rope and running by the time you've healed up properly. Take care please.

You came back though, right? Or are you now ghostposting?

Oh ya if you hear any loud popping or snapping when climbing just call it right away and ice that badboy asap - you're now taking a month off climbing because holy poo poo if you don't you'll gently caress yourself up real bad
