where is this? the rock looks amazing

I think it's a crag called the Wow Prow in the Free State in South Africa. Only got half a dozen routes on it starting at 7c or so.

I talk shit, there is a bit of easier stuff. Mad bit of rock, most of the other stuff in the area is sandy choss.

Click on them and you could have found out ;)

(I'm getting lazy and copying and pasting links to the source with more information and making pictures into links is quicker than re-typing what it is, plus it leads to more information around the site linked).

This is something I've wanted to ask for ages. Exactly how big is your monitor?

ComputerDisplayResolution
Work21.5"1920x1080
Home24"1920x1080
Laptop11"1366x768

On the desktop the panel (similar to the windows taskbar) autohides and I maximise my browser to full page, then within the browser I have very few toolbards, one row for tabs, one for the address and then one small row for shortcuts I use regularly in order maximise viewing of web-pages.

I can also be as lazy as the next person and not bother using BBCode to change the display size of pictures when embedding them.

Good idea for a thread

There isn't a non-quality chuffing thread.

Nice to see that Northern Lights pic again, especially as I took it!
I think he'd have got up it if he hadn't been trying it in a pair of Boreal Bamba. They were not Boreal's finest hour.

Lovely rock, and the approach looks civilised if no doubt long. Looks like it might almost be Pedriza F6b. Gulp.
