your safe for a while - it was Mitch who used to take all the shots and upload them to his site - he's now buggered off to Sydney and i'm too lazy to do that stuff...

having said which - on Sat we checked out an area i'd visited once before and found some awesome projects - waiting for cooler weather to stick the slopers (photo's will follow, i assure you.

and on sunday i reverted to the DV Camera (its been hibernating over the summer) so expect some glorious film of HKS on pristine granite / first ascents etc...

Bwahaha, normal service resumes then...

Those look very nice - what's the rock, BTW? Some kinda volcanic thing??

Oh, and is this far from the city or are you using some hi-tech photographic trickery to filter out the smog??

spot on with the rock - volcanic tuff

its a bit out of the city - but you can never really escape in HK - here's an old shot of the same area that gives atleast some indication of nearby civilisation

failed on bens wall by the same amount as before.
failed on greatwhite by the same amount as before.
failed on hurricane by a smaller amount than before, and didn't split a tip trying it (thats a result!)
opened a new account of failure with walk on by, the above photo showing my highpoint.

so yeah, all in all a fucking good day. well i say if you try enough 7cs then eventually one of em will go down.

Title: Quality bouldering piccies (part II)
Post by: Bonjoy on December 13, 2004, 03:13:42 pm
Starts at same point but heads straight up where High flyer goes left via pocket. Basically up arete on it's LH side until a strech left at mid-height (crux) gets you established on the face, up which it finishes.

Yeah, yeah, indirect schmindirect :lol:. It's the way i'd seen everyone else do it. Perhaps you should do a Skidoo and claim the direct as a new route and call it Chip Shop Brawl. The 'standard' way seemed the line of least resistance and hence 'the' line, it's is good and I dare say less scary.
 I might have to give the 'eliminate variation' a try sometime........

The technician in me figured out some 'whole leg in a hole' type manouver to ease the start of BB..

We got the Serengeti beta from a mumbling Californian - it certainly felt the right way if my cr*p velcro slippers hadn't kept on falling off every time I tried the heel hook.  Andy flashed it... (and BB without the kneebars)

Aye. I think the key is to get your left foot hiked up high so you can pull up some and thereby not have to step onto an overhead hold. The higher you are the shitter the slope feels though. Stretching and good conditions would help too.

I got same beta from a mumbling californian. His name wasn't rob was it? Hell stays in palce quite nice with mad rocks, fingers were too sore to do top though. Meant to go back and do it, still meaning to, 18 months later.

Apparently Atari has accounted for several damaged ankles.

came close to getting one on Sat (HK$12,000 incl. 1gb ultra-flash card) until the shop assistant told me my existing EX Speedlite flash wasn't compatible with it - which upon checking on the net seems to be incorrect, although canon have released a flash specifically designed for their digi cams

I don't see a problem with it if it's done well and saves an otherwise unusable pic. It's no worse than airbrushing out a distracting piece of clothing on the ground or something.

I agree, thing is its almost impossible to do well. that one of yours is probably the less noticable one i've seen. problem is people applying it to images that are totally unsuitalbe, for example where the distance between backround and the subject is changing gradually. and they look a right abortion. that one of yours ain't so bad cos its just a flat baclgroud bewind with no change in the distance.

if you've got MS photo editor on your work PC (should be in the "MS Office Tools" folder on your start menu if its anywhere) you should be OK without giving you grainyness.

Failing that get summert like paintshop pro or photoshop.

A few from the weekend:

On Y2K V5 at the Trenches. Cool problem. 13 moves through a cave on good holds to a slopey finish which was nice in the 30 degree heat.

I did black flag whe I was there about 4 years ago, nice little prob! Did the cavey bit of Y2K, but didnt top it out as I was matless and it felt mega slimy. Has the rock been cleaned a bit more, was pretty dirty when I was there.
Title: Quality bouldering piccies (part II)
Post by: Carnage on February 21, 2005, 09:01:03 am
Its a bit dirty in places and theres loads of these orb spinner spiders, that have a habit of sticking their webs at head height across the paths so you tend to walk into 'em unless you wave the 'blessing' stick. But its probably a lot cleaner than when you were there although some probs need a bit of a brush up. A good little area tho' with a font like feel.

Shame you didn't do the finish as thats the best bit. Theres an awesone V10 next to it called Mr Winston with a cool backwards throw. I'll have a bash at that in the winter.

Had the pleasure of doing the 2nd ascent of Mr Winston, did it with double toe jams for the crux, great prob, solid font 7b :wink:.

Would concur with Bonjoy's assessment of the grade. V8 with or without them fancy toe-hooks.  

If you want something a bit more challenging try my extension (Arcane Power - V9/10?) that cuts right after the crux for a bit more roof action before broaching the headwall for a little sting in the tail. :wink:

About the same time, as far as I know. I've got a friend coming over from the UK for a while in (maybe) Sept for our Winter and I'm trying to link it in with that.

Yeah it does, but the sitstart problem (which might be called Groundhog Day) starts from shit holds and shitter footholds and finishes on the jug. Jordan reckoned it was V7/8 or uk6c. He started from the lowest holds, rather than using a better one on the right that you can stretch to if you have a thick mat. It's possible no-one has connected the sitstart to the top half (which is definitely the hard bit of the normal problem) - though as usual no one is really sure who's done what.

Have you done it from a sitstart? I didn't try it, but it looked pretty hard. A couple of campussy moves into the standup version, then a rockover on the right heel to reach that little hold on the left and then the jug. Do you do it like this, or differently?

Well yeah, but on wet days the bottom half is often dry and makes a good problem in its own right. I don't really know if the whole thing has been done or not - it probably scares most people off as it's high enough to warrant E numbers. It's quite possible it has been done, there are certainly enough talented climbers around - but then again, no-one seems to know anyone who has done it. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Ryan Pasquil had done it and just not bothered to tell anyone.

When I was there there was about 6 pieces of gear with topropes set up in both of those cracks, but not a soul about. I was tempted to swag the lot. That photo doesnt do them justice, they are way steeper than appearances suggest, and that rock is low fristion quartzite. I think the guide gives them 5.12 or so.
