Great shot Mousey, its more reminiscent of NZ climbing then your typical Aussie shot.

You've gotta be committed to be out there at this time of year!!!! Especially with no gloves.

Brilliant shot. His expression, the gear, the clouds, the lot.

Definately agree with Bluey, I love the whole adventure aspect that not everyone would do or appreciate, of gettin out their in less than appealing conditions, etc.

Yep, great shot. It is rare to see a decent photo capturing old-fashioned adventure in climbing. Hopefully it will inspire a few others to seek their own miserable epic.

Yeah!, for adventure ...!!
I echo all the above comments, and would add that it is interesting how the top of Ozy Direct can look like a (visually pointy*) pinnacle-summit in the right conditions ...

* ... Not that one wouldn't already feel like they had got to a significant summit in such conditions; esp mousey with his stuffed back!

its a great shot...(also looks a tad cold!?)....

but on a different note....anyone that tells me that the look on his face doesn't say "I've
just farted" is a liar..

Beautiful. Captures the fatigue, relief and content that I imagine Macciza is feeling as well as the spacy mood that seems to accompany many a summit. Well done guys must have been a good time out. 
Jimminy clip it !!
