a couple from the Happies

Grindrite


Solarium


Atari (I strongly recommend trying this early in the day and not after the rock has had hours to soak up the sunlight - makes the arete kinda slippy...)


and the view - for all those who moan about unaesthetic choss piles...

Strength in Numbers

Nice stu. Not seen Seven Spanish Agels before, what numbers does it get? Did you get up to Mammoth?

I never got anywhere on French Press, a screwed ankle didn't help.

It's on the Get Carter boulder - half way to the Pollengrains. Really good V6 (although I never nailed the throw to the bucket at the top)

managed 2 days in Mammoth - one really windy so most of the resort was shut down but the second day was awesome. had forgotten how much fun the white stuff was. (damn expensive resort though - $80 for a day ticket!)

hell yes - although i think it'd probably cost less to hit the US or Canada...

I'm quite into this combined boarding and bouldering holiday thing - seems to work well - so on the look out for other destinations that could be equally well employed

Nice shots stu, got back on Sunday after being there for three weeks, amazing conditions for the first ten days but then it got a little hot for all but evening sessions.  Had forgotten quite how much there was to do there - got on SSA early in the trip and didn't manage to get back on finish it off - amazing slopers and guppies!  hope you had a good trip.

Geek! You couldn't throw a stick at Rocklands without hitting some cross-bedding.
