That is nicely done Joe, although I can’t help but be thankful that climbs like that don’t feature in my life any more.

Strange how we are all different. I love a good reduction. I'd have probably done that whole thing with a silky so no need for chainsaw trousers or boots. A day scampering around a tree in a comfy pair of trousers and some old comfy boots is a great day. I'd much rather a technical climb, than dragging a big heavy saw around the place and rigging big heavy bits of timber.

Reductions bugged the hell out of me towards the end. If all I did was take downs I may have even stuck it out a bit longer.

When I was climbing a lot I was usually just less than 10 stone, at about 5'11. I was built for small percentage reductions, not lumping heavy stuff around.

So spill the beans.  What’s your retired weight then?

Between 12 ½ and 13, depending on how much time I spend sitting around.

So, approx a 30% increase when you retire.  
 

How did you get on @Steve Bullman?

Went up to just over 14 stone at my heaviest, had typically been 12 stone 7lbs most of my adult life. On major diet now though!
