nicely shot piccies ruined by over-caffeinated sugary drink company™ branding

Absolutely. For me, there's nothing worse than a business decision getting in the way of a great climbing shot. Whatever happened to climbing in skanky cheap clothes? Hang on, don't answer that.

yeah some of those photos are ruined by the branding, one of the bouldering shots even looks as if the logo has been enhanced (surely not?). But the vast majority of the climbing shots (rather than the: by the ford pickup truck shots) seem to be fairly good? Anyone care to enlighten me as to what routes they are? crack climbing looks hard...

Am particularly jealous of HongKongStuey. My non climbing brother went to hong kong for a week a few weeks ago.

Will Hunt · October 04, 2006, 10:28:03 pm

Trip was wasted on him.

no bouldering this weekend as the hillsides were all pretty much on fire - chinese grave sweeping weekend, great for clearing out unwanted vegetation from beneath problems...

Giant's Causeway? Devils Tower more like.

I think not having a single route on that is possibly a crime against climbing.
