@SerenataFlowers @SerenataFlowers @bbcRogueTrader The company who forgets about flowers on Valentines Day. Ordered in good time, receive a junk email on 14th; ‘no delivery will be made’. Bot complaint form atrocious. Many customers receiving horrible flowers. Disgrace.

@Beastmakers If people don’t report em, they aren't getting mentioned. I can't moan. and while nut bag king of the slash grade sends in any old bit, he’s putting stuff up regular. Pete’s stuff was all in summer (but really impressive). but yes not very original reporting

Been a few weeks since putting this one away. Likely South Wales’ hardest boulder. Took some work. Days with poor skin, days with poor conditions, days poor on pads… https://t.co/6VXeupz67l

@davemacleod09 Very telling. I see gym rats do 3 of these for fun but can’t climb 7B. You have climbed 8C. You can’t put a price on rock IQ and decades of experience. 🧠>💪🏻
