We sat out a lot of rain, hail and bloody freezing wind. We even managed to climb a few bits of rock. When winter comes i wish i was back in Queensland again!

We got about 30 minutes sun in the afternoon at the Gallery - before a HUGE hail and rain storm hit us at full force. Jono was topping out on Weaveworld at the time and his cries could be heard echoing off the valley walls. We of course were huddled under the cave nice and dry. Chasn' is good - 2 rests - i am going to give it another go this weekend!

I must be moderatly flexible - i don't remember feeling stretched out whilst doing the route! It was only when i saw the photos did i realize who 'bridgy' it was.

Did you take any photos last weekend on Sandinista Wall? Looked like some of your crew were attempting the tougher routes there.
We did a few climbs up on the Hollow Mountain Block then went around to Amnesty Wall to escape the wind.

I only took a few shots that day - most were ruined by the famous Joe's reluctance to remove his black shirt.

All the photos on your page are coming up with red crosses Will.

I think the shot of you in the back seat of the car very accurately portrays your character Neil! Good luck on Chasin The Shadow.

the crazy stemming pic was taken vaguely under the climb, so its possibly fore-shortened Neil's torso a bit.

if you look closely its more a knee drop than the splits, but its still very impressive flexibility!!
