Well going off the notes on the linked picture I would hazard a "guess" at Cave Eliminate.

The tags get you to the right crag, but there are a lot of climbs there, anyway you are indeed right (although we're going up Cave Arete).

Which is next to Cave Eliminate and while my pedant skills are not in the same league as yours you did ask "what climb we're next to".  ;)

But I never said you were wrong, I merely indicated that we weren't climbing it and were indeed next to it  :P  :hug:

Should probably go in the OFTS thread, but probably worthy of general consumption.

Shame it's not pin sharp, but I think its a frame from a Go Pro in video mode.

That's great. Good photos don't have to be sharp either.

Not the pics themselves, more the subject.

Load of rubbish. Looks like a bunch of random storm photos cobbled together under the 'Katrina' label to give them some human element. A hurricane wouldn't have a defined edge like that, its too big. The last picture is too shit to see what's going on, but the suggestion that there was a single giant wave is nonsense. You don't get 'tidal waves' from hurricanes, its a shit term but they are implying a tsunami, you get storm surges - just as damaging but no one wave that does the damage, rather an extremely high tide coupled with big seas.

Love the tiger shot. Few photos are as well suited to viewing on a scrolling browser.

Word - I don't think any of those storm shots are from Katrina, they just look like standard US Oklahoma-area storm shots.
(Good photos by the way, just not of what they say they are).

Tiger shot is awesome - though it's surprisingly easy to ride a bike on a tight-wire with the extra weight hanging below you...

The guy who runs the website looks like a nutjob - take a look at the front page.

There are some great Tornado pics there which I will dutifully crib for a lecture.. the storm surge one IS of a storm surge but I dont think its Katrina.. I use this pic already in a lecture and am pretty happy with the source that its genuine (though I dont remember it off hand).. The description of it is of course bollocks (its not that large) but it is a large wave coming over a breakwater associated with a surge... unusual and quite dramatic...

Its certainly an unusal type of filter.
Still it would give some interesting fuzz/soft focus effects in places. Not sure it it would pass the ethics committee at Hoya so I suspect its a home brew...
