Hi 

I had a productive session at The Depot Sheffied today where I employed some of the stuff from the Lattice Training video. I also caught up with Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker from The Widebodyz as they were setting up for CrackFest.

This month I also took a trip to KendalWall to lead climb with a local who knows Mr MasterClas and Mr Malham 9b.

I have decided to break up Team La Sportiva Solution Comp.

You should make your mind up, on Lattice you’re LHoulding (see pic in post #1). I think most of us would be happier with you just signing yourself as Sav though.

Wait a minute, are saying I am Lattice athlete? Tom did smile and say hello when he saw me trying a pair of Unparallel Vims on as I was looking for a shoe just for indoor bouldering. Toby is a 1/4 Greek Cypriot and a Lattice athlete.

The other person in the team wasn't interested in learning rope climbing. 🙁😞

You´ve changed the picture now to a simple Lattice logo. Before, it seemed to be your Lattice personal profile page (or at least it implied that). Username: GREAKLHOULDING, and in the first sentence you described yourself as being a "potential professional climber".

If you could just stop the compulsive name dropping (both of top routes and of athletes), I suspect that the number of dislikes to your threads would rapidly drop.

In this thread, I haven't mentioned any top routes but I was there for CrackFest setting and the guy I climbed with at KendalWall does know the top climbers.

What a did notice was that all other tweets became replies. I can change my Username.

You could do the world a favour and simply not post.

Love the enthusiasm as always Sav!

I’m pretty sure the world doesn’t give a flying one either way. And while enthusiasm is one thing, posting complete and misleading bollocks is another.

Thanks Midgen.

Will all the people who think it's a good idea to hit the dislike to Sav's posts or post derogatory (Bullying?) replies, just stop it?

Sav's enthusiastic, you might not like his style or some of this content but hes not doing anyone any harm in his posts, if you don't want to read them don't, grow up, move on.

No I think 25 odd dislikes is probably preferable to 25 responses that all say stop talking bollocks, and dissecting why. There is a lot to object to in these posts.

Thank you.

The last time I replied to the person below I got a lot of dislikes so I will not reply this time.

This was a common opinion when Sav first arrived here. Many posters urged caution as they had worked with people saying similar odd things. Several people tried to meet him to help him sample trad (a few got let down but that was due to internal family issues he faced at the time), and I succeeded. 

In my opinion there is no dishonesty in his posts and he is the same in real life. Occasionally he posts and says odd looking and occasionally inappropriate things (report these like anything else that breaks site rules) but would be no different from others facing the same life issues he does.

Thank you. Yes you did and we did two trips to Burbage North. Are you up for more trips? I am.

I myself, have asked some of my posts to be deleted myself. My last original post, before this one, got removed but the moderators didn't tell me why.

Pedro. That is the correct answer. 

Do you want to make your second safety net £1000. You have all four life lines left.
