Back in action
Mike "the living guidebook" was back in action on Sunday. He demonstrated that 2 months of revising had not dented his flair for finding decent gear where most would run it out after catching disco leg.
He usually combine two nuts or friends, turning two poor placement into a (half) decent combination:
I also lead my first overhang on natural gear:
Robin Hood's Cave Innominate, harding super direct finish, at Stanage
PS1: I did catch disco leg latter that day, running it up on Mississippi's buttress "Variant" rising hand traverse. That's what HVS on grit does to me...
PPS: For those reading this south of the channel, just have a laugh on "Ze Hinglish" and their weird games!
PPPS: or just try to spot the moss on one of Britain's most famous cliff while sunning yourself on glorious bolted limestone...
## Correction: As i'm checking the spelling of various route names, using an old guidebook courtesy of Matt, it seems that the variant is harder than HVS. How, well, i got sand bagged then!
PPPPS: Sandbagging means givign a lower grade to a climbing route in order to lure an unsuspecting climber into providing entertainment for the watching crowd by catching disco leg. As Mike entertained a lot longer seconding that route that i did leading it, i can't blame him then ;)

Work Avoiding
At the moment, i have to read things like this for work:
From the book Survey of Text Mining . I have 2 more similar books, then one on regular expression and an -easier - one on SQL to digest. Bon appetit!
So it's not surprising that i get easily distracted, when i surf the web looking for help understanding the gobbledygook above. Here is a French page that takes me back to my childhood:
This carton was a lot more popular in France than in England... Click on the pictures to find the site that uses English style humour to describe this important piece of French 70s popular culture!
