[Adam Lincoln]

By the way the origin of the name is very nearly demonstrated by your first and last pictures of it.

Indeed, never had to think too hard where name came from....

Did you try Iron Man? Or was it a bit warm?

Yep, did the first move which i couldn't do other week, but fell off  getting established on stand. Few tricky moves with awkward feet. Will be back soon!

Nice photos Philo, what area is supernova in? It looks like a good one for those strong of heel.

[philo]

its on the bruno bloc, next to never ending story and its near the river. the hard move is the first. after that its not too bad.  i sent you a pm

[unclesomebody]

How do you get into that position as shown in the first voigas picture? Do you pull on, go right hand up to that crimp, then left to that undercut? I am trying to remember how such a sequence would be possible...

Hope you had a good trip (how couldn't you in those places!)

[philo]

because he is massive he had to match on the crimp adding an extra move to it  as in, pull on then left to the crimp then right then left back to the undercut.
if that makes sense?
and the trip was amazing

[SA Chris]

Nice pics. That watson chap should be in the muscular deformities thread though.

I know some people match on the crimp, in fact, lee tells me that move is piss if you match (which I clearly didn't... but anyway), but I still don't understand how  you end up in that position of the first picture. You pull on from the hold beneath his right hand, with both hands matched on it, then what do you move to get into the position he is in? I'm asking because I'm going to waltz up it when I return and if there is an easier sequence I want to know!

[philo]

oh im not sure i think he just did it from there for the pictures, as i wasnt there when he did it - i was playing on enterprice. ill try find out

[a dense loner]

i was thinking the same as uncle. there seem to be a few people out there who insist on making easy moves hard. suppose it doesn't really matter if you can waltz them tho

Have you seen the episode of the Mighty Boosh were Vince tags rock stars so he can keep tabs on their every movement and then turn up at their relevant locations before anyone else? As there's some scary similarities between that plot line and your comings and goings. 

[Bonjoy]

He looks a damn site better without the fluff-tash

[Nibile]

its on the bruno bloc, next to never ending story and its near the river. the hard move is the first. after that its not too bad.  i sent you a pm

i thought the hard bit was the finish, but maybe it had something to do with my sequence going up just along the lip...

[philo]

watch master core doing it in the vid you posted before. pretty much everyone did it past the first move but the first move seemed to be the hardest for us? we were using the undercuts to the right etc and squeeeeeeze with your heel and toe on

[Nibile]

we were using the undercuts to the right etc and squeeeeeeze with your heel and toe on

that's because you are not idiots. i don't know why but i got stuck with going along the left rail without the undercuts. oh, well it was fun...
can't wait to get back!!! your photo assault made me hungry!!!

[philo]

the arete only would be nails... how far did you get? you should cruise the normal way, like i say its the first move the hard one

[Nibile]

i went far enough on a couple of tries to believe it could go, but it destroyed me...
hope to send the normal way now!!!

[Carnage]

Heres some excellent Sydney Bouldering shots from a couple of my Flickr contacts who are a much better photographers than me:

[Duma]

All, especially carnage and philo: thanks for all the great shots, but please could you guys spread them out over a few different posts? 5ish per post would seem reasonable. We don't all have industrial strength connections, and this page of the thread (with 58 photos, 43 in one post!) now takes an annoyingly long time to load.
Cheers.
