...And what a fantastic photo to choose to illustrate your point. A rather brilliant v5 with a bunch of equally good sequences on it. That was one of the first problems I did up at the Hill and it remained one of my faves.

Have fun.

You mean the spotter's too close and attentive? That's way too good for some of my mates, they'd be looking the wrong way. Especially over such a piss poor landing.

Resonate, your links aren't working. Try a different host, such as www.ukbouldering.com/gallery

i can see em?

Nice photo. Makes Rocklands look as good as everyone keeps saying it is. There's another awesome pic in the enterprises bouldering calendar, of Bernd Zangerl on Long Long. Aha, just found a scaled down version. Photo I'm talking about is top left.

They all look oddly faded though. The images on the actual calendar are really good.

Looks good Greg. Although I'm sure you've already posted the second shot down as something esoteric in the lakes :wink:

disturbingly possible but distinctly hard

Got some nice pics from Castle Hill, Elephant Rocks and the Lakeside Boulder at Wanka. Will post them when I get a chance, maybe tomorrow? Stu you are in for some good fun, get those triceps in shape and prepare for some polish. We only had a day and a half at Castle Hill, time and weather conspired against us. Sadly didn't get up to Flock Hill.

Anyone fancy SA for this time next year? I will play tourguide for everywhere except Rocklands.

Stu you are in for some good fun,

glad to hear you had a good trip - any suggestions for problems or just general South Island stuff more than welcomed.

was thinking of a bouldering trip in Feb / March (tentatively thinking Bishop or Heuco) next year if you fancy hitting SA a bit earlier on?

Are Stu's photo's unrepresentative? Do they present a subjective reality? If not, why isn't everyone hitting Hong Kong instead of Bishop/Castle HIll/Averstall/Rocklands etc...

Check the guide. If it all a hoax, it's a pretty elaborate and expensive one.

Stu, will send you an email in due course with South Island recommendations. We got Rock Deluxe Guide while we were there, has good coverage of Quantum Field, if you want to borrow it.
