I'll second that.

Supporting native wildlife and being kind of kinky at the same time.

For those interested in seeing Wendy Eden contort herself on The Ogive, here's a link to another of the entries to Goatfest.

I tried to embed an image but my technical abilities are lacking.

It was a great crop of films, and everyone seemed to have a good time. Post here or email me (design@dugfish.com) any reflections or suggestions to improve the event.

Thanks to all the many volunteers who helped make it happen, and the filmakers for the films!

Here's another one:

Awesome set of films & a great night, well done guys. my personal favourite being Steve Kelly's solo of Triad, again showing just how committed & talented Col Reece was in putting that one up.

the flavours in the lentil / veg curry were superb, but have to say the general consensus among our group of punters was that the servings were pretty light-on, leaving all of our bellies grumbling for round two or even three. Maybe chuck in some short-grain brown rice action next year & a little more of the curry & bob's yer uncle. Yumbo. I also woulda inhaled at least a coupla desserts had there been a vegan option.

& I must admit to feeling a tad sheepishly starstruck by the presence of Mayan Gobat-Smith's doppelganger...

I can see why 'Dead Heat' won both awards. Watching that I felt an intense reminiscence for some problems I've thrown myself at repeatedly. No way to aid or french free past that move!

Dead Heat won because it's fun to laugh at boulderers. I'm still giggling thinking about it.

For those that are wondering where Dead Heat is posted, most of the films are linked in Wendy's news story above.

If you could climb V11+, you'd be laughing at the silly pumpers stacking a bunch of V3 moves and calling it fun. He climbs grade 30 as well, of course :P

But here's the thing - if that move was on a 32, you'd be saying it was a totally rad route. So don't be a hypocrite!

When will Bernard the cat get his own gig? It must be so frustrating just being a cute prop in somebody else's film.

Well, i do have a grand plan for him, but generally, he refuses to cooperate. I'll work on it. It will of course be deadly serious, deep and meaningful filmmaking.

Likely title? "Bernard the cafe-owning cat"

Thanks for the feedback on the food Nayda, will bear it in mind for next year.

Anyone else think the food was light on?

You starred. It was too long for the comp is my understanding, so they showed it at the end. It was pretty good, but I might be biased.
