Not current due to health / arthritis, but my old hobby
This is in the Snowdonia area of north wales, we climbed this in 4 stages, so it was a bit high
This pic was taken at the first stop - where you can see the people near the top of the last shot

That's awesome. I'm too cowardly to do something like that although I find it fascinating. Recently I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos of these crazy, crazy guys climbing these almost vertical mountains like El Capitan and so forth which have virtually nothing to grab on to. It's mind-boggling how they do it and the strength, skill and nerve involved.

Is that a mismatched pair or all you need is two irregardless???

It’s a pair of socks I made from one ball of yarn. The yarn has more than one colour in it so they were never going to be an exact match anyway - I think it’s more fun like this!

Another pair from me as well.
As some of you may know, I play the guitar. Over the past year and a half I've been going through recording the entirety of Fernando Sor's (1778-1839) Opus 60 which is a set of 25 classical guitar studies (beginner/intermediate) and I've done 22 of them so far. The pieces themselves are not overly long or difficult, but perfecting them in various aspects is - not just getting the notes right, but the tone and attack of each note, voicing balance, pacing, phrasing and timing, dynamics etc. and objectively, I've only been partially successful on some of these. Nevertheless some of the results are semi-pleasing. I hope you like them.
The most recent one I put down a couple of days ago - #22.
Another one - #20:
One more for good measure (things are always nice in threes) #16

Well done! The third one’s my favorite of the set.
Yeah that's a nice one. Has a couple of fiddly moments, but it's one I like enough to want to keep in the long term repertoire.
