Some stunning pics in the Black Diamond 2012 catalogue

[slackline]

I liked the narrative from Nico Farvasse too, as well as the inclusion of videos (including Ondra's "boulder start to a route" project).

Good format for catalogues in my opinion.

The first of these was the alpinism catalogue:

http://catalog.blackdiamondequipment.com/alpinism2012/en_us/

which was done by Jon Griffiths of alpine exposures fame.

As you said, it's a great format for catalogues but harder to stash in the throne room.

Cheap tablet for the throne room could solve that.

According to the guy running the Refugio someone had recently left there having been there for around 30-days bouldering everyday, repeating as many of the existing boulder problems as possible and putting up a lot of new problems (doing each twice).  No idea who it was or whether/where/when they'll make a topo available.

Cool looking place - looks a bit like Wharepapa in NZ, only frikking erormous.

not a superb pic but not often we get a couple of 1980's Buoux legends cranking together in HK - Marc LeMenestral and Laurent Jacob making short work of Artwork (F8a)

Iker Pou on the Bombé project at Buoux!



Full story on PlanetMountain. I'd be well impressed if this gets done (by someone other than Ondra... well, I'd be impressed if Ondra does it, but I'd be MORE impressed if someone else does it first!)

I'm sure having fingers that size are a serious disadvantage at Buoux.

[Fiend]

Sounds rad!

If any man is going to do that before Ondra it will be Iker Pou....the Pocket Master!
