Get some sun on those legs, fella. They are so white they become the focal point of the shot.
The rock looks interesting though and different to a lot of the Sydney sea biscuit climbing I have seen.
Nice photo.

Is the route poorly bolted or are you doing the Sharma and skipping clips?
The look on Neils face could be on a FibreGel add. |

awesome route,I recall that it requires a bit of core strength to stop yourself scraping your gut on the crux tho. Some water (and critters) sit in the jugs sometimes. |

Looks like he is close to a good position to clip to me. Just need to find a nice hold somewhere. |

Well I'm a douche bag.
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, I would of got it if you went 180. Good work. |

A good shot, made better by a number of things about it that 'tell a story' to me as a viewer (even if I wasn't a climber). It speaks the effort involved, the juxtaposition between easy/hard climbing & easy/hard clipping, and it kind of drags me in there (like crab-bait) with the subject, to 'feel' the experience. Heh, heh, heh.

Continueing the lighter side...
@The look on Neils face could be on a FibreGel add.
~> also if he grimaces this hard on 22's, how does he go on 25's?
@radioactive waste oozing out of the slot in the foreground!
~> Nah, thats not r-a-waste. Looks more like a cemented up gear placement to keep the cliff a sportclimb area.

I doubt even S Carter could stage a pic this well. |

Are the rings Photoshopped in?
It's a shame because if it was vertical it looks like it would be a nice climb. |

No, because it is NSW and you are allowed to put rings in anywhere... even for a fake photo-shoot. |

so neil, the gig is up, are you going to put the other photo in, where you had a rest rather than ticking the route??? |

See punchline photo! The bolts were 'prop' bolts, only a few cm long and attached to the rock with blutack. Holding this position almost killed my stomach muscles... |

Rotating the punchline photo is pretty funny too. Would be better if there was still tension in the rope. |

Horizontal folk dancing is better than climbing this. |

Oh wow. I was completely owned by this.
Funny there's nothin in the pic that gives the game away. Maybe the draw position? |

Not even the puddles of water mysteriously suspended in the "vertical" rockpools, Evan?? |

or the lack of chalk smothering every hold and particularly all the jugs, the biggest give
away is the way the draw sits all bunched up, the lack of pressure on the climbing
shoes is another. |

good one and not even april fools day.
blue climber splat punchlining turning the tide at farkurnell, sinnytown, NSW. yeah the shire can have that effect on people. there R some intereting silhouettes at the base of the gap as well for the more morbid photogs. |
