Nice pic, just made it my new background.
Is that the board that is no longer? It looks immense!
R.I.P most indeed!
Holger has apparently found a massive space which would cost very little to rent so it might be back on.
Is it not a bit stretched sideways? Looks odd to me.

Nice.
Do you have any more shots of this problem (or similar), Adam?
Castle Hill really is the shit. You could wander around the place for a week just marvelling at the shapes.
The 3 (rain curtailed) days we had wasn't nearly enough.
A few months later I was showing the Chch regulars around and being mistaken for Ben Moon (long story but it wasn't because I was climbing V13 that's for sure).
is the gist of the story that you 1)are called Ben and 2) are English?

Did your mate do it?
he came close, he is using desroys beta which adds another move and a cut loose on the pocket
out of interest didn't liam downgrade it?
I'd have to agree with the Stallion, Newman has managed to add beastliness to his obscene gangly frame. A dangerous combination.

I'm about to start scanning my back catalog on slide so there will be a some old school quality up there in the next few weeks .
Thanks for the info on posting ill get some of the new images up when scanned .
Thats a lovely shot of Alderson on Green Traverse in the black and white baggy lycra, Bungle! I've just had my tea, too.....quite unpleasant....
Some lovely pics of Vitruvian Man there Adam. I did wonder if a more efficient sequence would get found on this! On the first ascent once I'd done the big first move out right I went straight to the slopey top of the boulder with my left, this move was the crux and absolutely desperate, hence the 7c/+ grade. With that lovely looking hold out left it looks a bit less heartbreaking; I think I may have rekindled my desire for the Wheelbarrow-Vitruvian link. Nice one!
So now that I am crippled for a considerable period
No juicy accident-Just had a SLAP repair done on my shoulder to fix a pretty sizeable labral tear and some bone shaving to sort out bicep tendon impingement. I've got 2 weeks left in a sling and then 3-6 months to a full recovery.
Not sure about the grade though. You might not be far off the mark. Sean today couldn't do the problem, that was after doing E-fix again for camera this morning. I didn't actually repeat it today, i just wanted to get pics. I did it a few weeks back with Doyle, who couldn't do it either.... I do it different to what Greg told me too. I start with obvious two holds, left toe on a dimple, and right toe hooking. Not sure how you did crux move? Best problem i have done on limestone mind!
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?
have noticed you've got nearly every problem down as soft on your 8a account. beast
also the stuff you thought was hard for the grade you did 2nd go. beast
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

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 pmi thought the hard bit was the finish, but maybe it had something to do with my sequence going up just along the lip... :rtfm:
we were using the undercuts to the right etc and squeeeeeeze with your heel and toe onthat'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...
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.

1 post with 43 photos or 8 posts with five pictures and one with three would still take the same amount of time to load.
slack - but each page is a certain amount of posts - so splitting them up would mean less pics on each page - so quicker page loads.
each page of a forum contains 20 posts. if someone posts 43 images in one thread then that still leaves 19 posts on that page that probably a substantial number of will also contain photos. if someone posts 43 photos over 8 posts then that only leaves 12 more posts, thus per forum page (which if what you are leading one at a time) will on average contain less posts and be quicker to load.
Breaking up a post with lots of pics into smaller chunks would result in the sections rotating onto the next page quicker as more posts are made, but since this tends to be for pics, the newer posts will contain pics too.
If you set up your browser properly it'll automatically clear the cache everytime you shut it down :P ;)
This was how it was first done and given 8b I think.

This amazing line was found last year at the Black Label sector by the Austrians, and is maybe one of the best boulder problems in the world. A true 5 star contender and very pure. This project was enough for Tony to spend his last few days hiking to the boulder on his crutches and trying the moves until far after dark, once he saw it. The project is an almost perfect 3 mover out a large 45 degree overhanging boulder on great incut holds.

It was in the middle of a busy road.
I believe this is how the locals deal with such problems...

you left the lenscap on again?
there's no difference between dylans hair and the near total blackness surrounding him. on ru all you can really see if skin a yellow shirt, everything else look close to black. my monitor is a CRT and is fairly well calibrated. if you're on a laptop or a TFT screen then you could be seeing anything depending on what angle you're looking at.
but photoshop does, you can do a quick and easy calibration with that, does the job.
My hair is mostly grey so Adam has done a good job

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.

Futures Barbares is ok if you can crimp. The moves aren't very powerful but the footholds are poor. Cooler temps prefered. Amazing problem though. Probably the best hard problem at 95.2 IMO

It depends on what you use. The direct method is tricky and used to get 7c+. That was over graded but 7c is probably fair. If you use the huge hole out left for your foot it's about 7b. I reckon the dircet way is better personally

Thanks r-man that's one of the minor mysteries of life solved - that bloke with the hair turned up at Area 51 when we were there and got straight on Resident Evil (V10) as a "warmup", and then was doing most of Black Lung without much effort.

Some great Pictures of the Month (http://blog.keithsharplesphotography.co.uk/blog/PhotooftheMonth2009) for the man Sharples (not all climbing)....

I'm sure he's used flash somewhere for this photo but i'm dammed if i know where he hid it.
Commentary:
Going rock climbing at night-time in winter when there’s a foot of snow on the deck isn’t everyone idea of a great time – but we seem to like it! Leaving Sheffield late afternoon Paul and I caught the dregs of the daylight; not that we were bothered for we were out for the evening with the lamps. Temps in the car-park were around minus 2 with a slight breeze; cool you might say! Secret Garden was in awesome condition when we arrived, dry and sheltered; perfect!
By mid evening the scene was surreal; it was just begging to be captured. Although I’d been climbing all evening my fingers were frozen solid after seconds of handling the tripod, the camera and flashgun. The lighting arrangement was complex; a remote SB800 fired wirelessly from the D300 in commander mode with additional lighting from a lantern and a head-touch! The snow on the ground bounced light about as well and in the back ground an ethereal glow (light pollution) emanated from Sheffield. Not a standard lighting arrangement – certainly not one that you’d see in any text book.
With the ISO cranked up to 800 and with the manual focus set camera-side of Paul, I fired off shots when Paul’s movement was at a minimum. The featured image has just the hint of motion blur in Paul’s foot which I figure adds another angle to the shot. The lighting though makes the shot more than a bit different though especially with the mix of ambient light with that from the strobe and the torch light.
Capture Notes:
Nikon D300, 12-24mmAFS f4G, 1/2.5sec @ f4, ISO 800, manual focus, slow sync flash, 1 remote SB800 in Group A @ +1EV triggered from D300 in Commander and with additional lighting from a lantern and a head-touch!
I think your sarcasm filter threshold needs tweaking.

i just can't get psyched for pictures of castle or flock hill because by all accounts the climbing there is good........ but not that good.
I was told this amongst other people from a local who i met in switzerland though his name eludes me.
Have to say i agree with you on this one Moo, spent 3 weeks at castle Hill/fock hilland to me it was a good but I just didnt think it was the best. Situation is amazing (although I have bouldered in Tazmania/Deep South/ Colorado/Britain in equally stunning locations) but to paraphrase Dense...goodness me.....dismiss all other venues cos its just not fontI was told this amongst other people from a local who i met in switzerland though his name eludes me.
Sounds like a great source. Why don't you go and then form your own opinion, rather than base your opinions on that of some guy you met?
I would choose to back there over Rocklands or Bishop again, or just about any of the places I have bouldered at across the world (except Font) for the sheer quality of the probs. I can see why it wouldn't be everyone's bag though, doesn't suit a lot of people's climbing style.

Who told you that?? Amazing probs, so improbable but doable with a bit of lateral thought.This is correct. Add my name to the "almost all accounts that the climbing is awesome" list.
I have next to no desire to go there as I think any pick from Hueco/Rocklands/Bishop/rmnp/chironico/albaraccin/Parisella's look to have better climbing ;)

I thought that one of the advantages of a dog tag was that you didn't have to tattoo them onto yourself?
(and it's pronounced "Core", but written "Corps", Adam).

Fuck me chillax, those boulders look amazing! Terible landings though by the looks of it
God my memory IS failing me as I was there. Yes that is the correct problem though.

Ian Taylors pic of Richie Betts on Red Handed at Reiff in the Woods. Looks ace.
(sorry about not backlinking slackers, excuses as per previous).
Shit if I knew that the horizon up in torridon glowed unnaturally like that I'd have gone years ago, looks amazing.
so nobody thinks a glowing horizon looks unnatural then? I found it distracting in an otherwise good photo.
Nice one Richy la! Stella piccy of a stella looknig line in a less know area and folk go on about photo shop eh... :wall: I bet your t-shirt was originally browny red too..

I think we need a campaign for people not to wear grey (or similar) coloured T-shirts at the crag.
if were against grey at the crag the next UKB t-shirt should be printed on one of these

No, there's no bolt to hang the tag from.
I was looking at Carnage's earlier gramps pics and thinking that. Can almost feel the heat radiating off those rocks, smell the vegetation, and hear the insects hum.
Same can be said for Sydney through much of the winter. The odd day goes into the 20's but for the most part its 16/17 and much cooler if theres a southerly.

I wasn't there but it was apparently quite warm over Easter when the first shots were taken. I just had a week there and the temperature was great, 16 degrees in the sun pretty much everyday dropping off to 10/12 in the evening.

Its almost like being handicapped over summer as its too hot but you're still trying stuff. As soon it cools, even just a bit, you notice it so much more and everything suddenly gets a lot easier!
and they're going to cap immigration.

(not entirely convinced with the results)
I like the framing, you can imagine the crag is out in the countryside rather than next to some dodgy shacks!

Can any of you photography buffs tell me what position the flash was in to achieve that shot?Yo mean besides the one on the gorillapod quite obvious in the bottom centre of the picture?

That's an ace pic, but probably in the wrong place? Unless you think the mouse is bouldering. He's highballing (furballing?) at least, and probably soloing
i think your right (even though i aint done it yet) and its on the best boulder in the peak.

Who's going to kidnap him and drive him to Lancashire then? Some Godskin stuff he needs to get on.Strangely I was thinking someone might and try dragging him to the pillbox to do an unrepeated line there ...

its at Froggatt just before sunset slab. Its a 6B crack thing, dont remember the name but its in the new froggatt guide
Nice pics Richie. Wonder what effect the fire will have; easier to get around, but maybe a bit boggier.
Some from the weekend (more here) (http://www.nickfletcherphotography.com)
really dont like this type of photo, the light in them feels so unnatural. id much prefer to see the climb and climber caught in the moment without over editing.
Not being able to see your face clearly in the first detracts slightly.I take it as a compliment!!! :kiss2:
Muscular deformity? Bit of a Popeye thing going on there.
saw someone fall from the same position without mats. The noise of his leg snapping was horrible!

Yes - Aaron , Yes V5. Well known sandbag should be a 6 really.
Not sure whether this is 'quality' or not due to the blurring on the left?
Is this accepted photographic practice, or bad taste?
Please remember that the guide has 336 pages in full color. Includes the best areas of northern Galicia: Corme, Mens, Costa da Morte, Ferrol, A Coruña, Barredo, Xistral, Portomarín, with about 2000 lines outlined blocks. One of the best boulder areas in Spain.
Peñoles is geologically a lot like Hueco; a mountain of boulders in the middle of the desert. Also the rock in many places is similar to Hueco, but that’s pretty much all these places have in common. There are no restrictions of Hueco, no entrance fees, no waiting in line, no back-country guides needed. You can camp by the boulders and go climbing whenever you want without getting a permission from anyone.
The rock seems to be made for hard boulders. While there are great problems and projects for all grades, what really strikes my eye is the amount of hard projects in the v14 - v17? (8B+ to 9A) range. It is very rare to find these lines that are really hard but still possible and I don’t think I’ve never seen so many of them anywhere else in the world.

Can't look at Flickr at work (but can see the above) - what camera are you using. It's a great shot, but quite noisy - reminds me of my 7D, so just being nosey...

As Chris said - Deliverance. And I have been in that position several times :D
Yep, 550 with Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.
No flash and low light = noise...
Nowt much to be done except buy an external flash or a fancy sensor and lord knows I dont have the monies for that.
B+W conversion tends to look OK for indoor shots taken at high ISO. Pick a film effect and pretend it's grain :whistle: (apparently X-trans sensors have noise patterns that look a lot like grain on high ISO film).Yeah, that's a trick I use from time to time :smart:.

Good to see some Quality Bouldering Piccies appearing recently! Seems like climbing photography has become a lost art in the age of disposable videos.
Any self-proclaimed or otherwise photoshop experts on here? When I say photoshop...I use DXO but the concepts are all the same. Somehow I often end up underwhelmed after editing. I typically mainly just aim for the best composition and best light I can manage at the time, then try to recreate the "feel" through subtle tweaks.
I was wondering if I could post some shots with raw files and see if anyone can give tips? To be fair, it's not bouldering (routes) but the ideas are the same and I thought it most likely people on here would know.
Sounds good Paul Y Liam, I'll maybe start another thread. I struggle a bit with skin tones and then just generally being creative and making things look inspiring without being overdone.
I've got a mate who's been getting more into landscapes and has a very distinct style (dark and moody) which I appreciate but don't want to replicate. I've never quite felt like having a "style" other than just well composed and interesting (aiming for...). Due to my finger cut I decided to drag the camera up a few adjacent routes on this last trip to get some better angles.
