Re: Latest climb pic.
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?

Re: Latest climb pic.
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.

Re: Latest climb pic.
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 ( :
Re: Latest climb pic.
Legend indeed! No one tries harder than Ningo. So inspiring and so humble.

Loving the pic of Wolfberg! 

Since I started climbing I developed a big crack addiction.

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

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

Re: Latest climb pic.
jip, firm vote for "local only" - climbers or routes 

Re: Latest climb pic.
There is an SA connection. She climbed the Nose with Andrew Porter.

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.

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

Re: Latest climb pic.
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.
