monique high on Lion Rock

Nice. have noticed he studiously avoids bouldering pics in his books. Shame as some of bouldering spots in HK would make great images.

[hongkongstuey]

piss poor weather when he was here so there was no point heading up there - he was keen though

[slackline]

YYFY! Finally led FBD on Tuesday (friend got a rather good set of shots, perhaps a little gratuitious on the uploading, but hey thats what I pay Flickr ~£25 a year for!)

Good work slackers, I walked past you at one point I think, I was a little further down the crag!

Cheers, caught on camera too, what a coincidence!

Was quite nice as the FB area was pretty quiet all evening.

Love that one, Stu, I'm a sucker for perfect corner grooves.

Hey Stu, is that rock granite? Wierd, looks like granite but in a columnar formation.

[DaveC]

...is that rock granite?

Not granite, more likely something in the diorite/andesite family - there's similar stuff in parts of Tasmania. Of course without a sample in hand I stand to be corrected!

[SA Chris]

I've seen pics of the stuff in Tassie and on S Island NZ, but it doesn't look as much like Granite as that.

[hongkongstuey]

it's a volcanic tuff (welded fine ash lapilli tuff to be more precise) - apparantly forms part of a supervolcano according to recent findings by the Geological Survey out here

Ondra on Der heilige Gral, 9a. took him a massive 2 tries

[slackline]

Two tries 

Don't know why people bother putting borders on picture, it almost worthy of the photoshop hall of fame.  If I want a border I'll print a picture out and put in a frame!

Anyway, no big numbers, but was pleased with how these shots of my friend leading Jesters Cracks at Ashop Edge on Sunday came out...



I'm loving my new 10-20mm Sigma cheers to SteG 

Also playing around at Millstone yesterday I passed my camera to my friend and he snapped this of me taking a hands free rest on Eros.  No photoshopping here at all, he hadn't realised the lens creeps when between the extremities of the zoom and you have to hold it to stop it doing this.  Certainly not a quality pic, but I quite liked it.

[Krank]

A couple from the trad season

[SA Chris]

Is that a solo of "Wings.."? Last move must be heartbeater!

is your mate a 1970s US cop?

[Krank]

Tis indeed Wings, my mates not short but it still took him a couple of wind ups before he jumped it. wouldnt fancy it myself.

[SA Chris]

me neither. If it's an onsight then doubly impressive.

[Will Hunt]

Brings back some happy memories. Good effort on Wings, it looks like he's got a long way to go.

i think he had had led it once before, good stuff all the same

Brings back some happy memories. Good effort on Wings, it looks like he's got a long way to go.

He did 1 more move on archangel then down climbed it, i couldnt believe he didnt push on for glory.

[Will Hunt]

Bloody hell! I think downclimbing all that way would be much harder than seeing off the next couple of moves to the break. By the point he's at I had lost all hope of surviving but for some reason I kept going. He'll have to do it all over again now.
