Make sure you get to the booklaunch. I went to the Sydney one last night. Very impressive/mindblowing photos and great commentary by Simon.
Well worth it, you won't be dissappointed.

Got myself a copy of the book last night .. excellent work Simon, suggest you all head out to the launch as it will provide the inspiration for many a trip both at home and abroad. Was surprised however at the number of shots I had already seen from the onsight website and climbing mags.

I'm going to be heading to the Katoomba launch as I'm housesitting in the mountains that week. Hope to see a few of the Blue Mtns Chockstoners there.. PM me if you want to hook up beforehand.

Thanks heaps everyone. I’ve finally just had time to read through this thread again and pick a winner for the creative part of the comp. Frick’en LOL…
Well… it was a hard choice. Some of the offers were appealing…

>capsicum dip and a blank video tape.
I was moved by the lengths some went to…
>A new pyramid was built especially for the occasion ...
The sympathy angle damn near did it for me on several occasions…
>I've poured all my money this year into a ticket to a Third-World country,
And I was very impressed by the complete lack of shame exhibited by some… but I won’t rub it in…
But in the end I’d like to give the book to Paulie for his “Projects” Poem. Great work dude and thanks for the contribution! (Check your email).
