Wow, gotta love that pic of Brian way up and out at Blouberg, exploring for hold and sequences, the absolute pinnacle of pleasure. Whats the story with this pitch, is it do-able..? Whats the pro like?

I just read the story on Brian's blog:

We recon that the pitch will go but it will go at 33 or so... A bolt would also need to be moved, or cheatstick used to extend a draw significantly. It's tough to say the least.

Loved your post & pics, awesome stuff!

[Justin]

Awesome

He is the first S African to free climb El Cap!

Well done!

[andrew p]

check out that exposure!! And look at that jam/layback pitch below! Clinton is out there doing this stuff why we are all on the forum arguing. Clint, you are the man! Up there with ADK. Just as hardcore and driven, a legend of SA climbing. About time we had an interview...Justin ( :

[Hector]

Legend indeed! No one tries harder than Ningo. So inspiring and so humble.

Loving the pic of Wolfberg!

[DolphinDawie]

I think he dropped an orange condom?

[vander]

yeah, he figured the condom is no more safe than that under-cammed #5 cam and chucked it! What a great route! Thanks Paul

Although the photo of Alexandra Schweihart is awesome, I thought we'd decided that front page images should be kept local and lekker.

A german climber climbing in the US?

[Justin]

Local is certainly best
The picture has a bit of SA influence in that Clinton Martinengo also sent this route.

[zabullet]

Meh.....don't really care. Very cool picture.

[mokganjetsi]

jip, firm vote for "local only" - climbers or routes

[iank]

There is an SA connection. She climbed the Nose with Andrew Porter.

[zabullet]

There is an SA connection. She climbed the Nose with Andrew Porter.

Then by extension are

a) All photos of the Nose front page material (because Andrew Porter climbed it)
b) All photos of Alexandra Schweihart front page material (because she climbed with a South African)

....pretty broad definition of local.

[Justin]

All right... Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Who is going to put the next local image up then?

[Chris F]

Wasn't Mike Cartwright Kevin Bacon's stunt double in "The Air Up Here". Make that 2 degrees then

[pierre.joubert]

Oh my sack. What a whine on a Friday afternoon. Change your diaper buddy.

F*ck this. I'm going tradding

[brianweaver]

ZB get your panties out of a twist and relax. If you don't like the pic replace it with another good one!

[Justin]

If you don't like the pic replace it with another good one!

But make sure you have the appropriate permit to do so

[brianweaver]

Oooh! You wouldn't want to make that mistake! Justin, are you going to change policy anytime soon? It might be beneficial if you start a permit system where an imagine must be uploaded to a gallery so that it can go through an approval process by various government/climbing bodies prior to being allowed to be viewed publicly!

The Kleinmond one is just the thing to brighten a grey damp day. Good shot.

Did someone embed that for me? I tried to but it said the pic was too big?

Yes, that was me, your friendly administrator You need to copy the 'image link location' from the gallery (you can't use the link location from the home page - i.e. I copied the link from this page in the gallery - http://www.climb.co.za/gallery2/display ... at=0&pos=1

[Chris F]

Why thank you Mr Administrationifyeriser. Every day is a school day.

[AndrewP]

Love the pic of Flaming Woozel. The route name is even better :-)

[100dgrs]

Nice going Nic and Andrew, looks like a kief line!
