Post by: Bubba on February 25, 2006, 07:31:28 pm: Very good photo - he looks totally wired-in and committed.

The colours may be a bit overdone mind - he looks a bit like he's wearing lipstick.

What route is it?

Post by: Johnny Brown on February 25, 2006, 07:55:41 pm: Hairy Heart, Froggatt. Unfortunately though, he's not committed he's mucking about. The only explanation I can offer for his red lips is that he is a ginner.

This one has "it".

The best scary photos I can recall have been in the mags - Bransbubble on that E8 in Scotland, The Enigma on Knocking On Heaven's Door (that's probably the scariest I can recall?)

A bit small perhaps, but do a search for Alex Huber Brandler Hasse solo or something like that. Or buy issue 14 of Alpinist.

Or try to find a photo of Wolfgang GÃ¼llich solo on Separate Reality, it's in the book "High Life, Sportklettern Weltweit" by Heinz Zak and W. GÃ¼llich.

this is bonkers. especially when you consider the $mites are constantly falling to pieces.

that helmet should help alex though in the event of a fall.

Post by: dave on March 18, 2006, 05:28:44 pm: the helmet means in that in the event of a fall theres a marginally increased chance that he'll be identifiable by his dental records as his head may stay in one piece. He's thinking of the family - its a nice touch.
