Nice shot... did he get up it?
Why isn't he jambing? |

Missed the onsight. Moving off a RH flared jamb somewhere near where the left hand
is now spat him out. Got to the top after this though. I won't comment on technique as
this is well above my pay grade currently. |

You think the other shoe might just be clipped to his harness Stu? |

Another good photograph.
Given the angle, I would have liked to have seen a bit more facial expression to match the climbing involved.
It wouldn't have taken much for the climber to look a little further upwards, but that is the luck of the photographers draw I guess.
☺
The angle of the photo when presented as is, in vertical format, seems a little odd to me, but when I tilt my computer screen so that the photo presents in landscape format I find it a lot better. In fact I'd give it another star as a more pleasing composition when oriented that way.
Was it originally photographed as landscape? |

Thanks for the comments.
@M9: The composition on this one is one thing that I wish was slightly different. I
wanted a bit more space on the right and maybe have the crack slightly more
vertical in the shot (also could have been achieved in post rotation with more space
on the right). But as you say. Photographers luck of the draw a bit and definitely
something that I'm looking to improve as it is the sort of thing you just need to get
right by instinct at the time.
@martynm: ta. Yes, the downside of using belay glasses is no face seen. ;) |

@ martym
Excellent pic!
Where can I get one of those newfangled modern desktop 'puters from?
Heh, heh, heh.
Post edit.
Hmm.
My above comment was posted this morning in response to a martym comment featuring a computer picture that is now no longer there.
It seems to have been deleted, perhaps by martym maybe about (Last logged in 10/11/2014 at), 10:09 PM tonight?
What's the go? |

I did nothin of the sort! I am equally surprised to see my post was deleted... I an't see
any record of it..?
I only just read Mikl's blog about rope wear, then clicksd on the photo now (23:45) to
see if you liked my computer pic- lo and behold it's gone...
Gremlins?
Gnaguts?
Basically I love the photo
Think the angle is great.
Think M9 has an odd opinion about the angle...
Took half a point off because the climber's face is mostly obscured..
And said I'd love to see M9 tilting his computer to see a landscape view:

You are bent in a different direction to me!

It is alright, but here are two things wrong with it.
1. it is Qld.
2. The Tom climbing it isn't jamBing. |

Nice shot but the keyboard should be set to align with the screen - as there are a
number of workplace related injuries that can be associated with such a setup.
I would have given it another star if I could see the typist and to see if the LGBTI or
straight person had their chair suitably adjusted to the correct height.
Minus another star as the screen is blank, but plus another one cos the blue sheer
rock looks totally nails and plus another one to be doing it backwards. |

route looks great, good job on getting a touch higher before being spat off!
grass trees, small but they give a unique continent Oz feel.
this shot has inspired me to go out and give it a lash this arvo. |

Good climbing photo.
(comment not refering the puter photo) I think it looks better rotate right in landscape view to.

Sorry kiddies but....Iiiimmmm baaaack
What I wanna know is what is the difference between trying a climb for
the first time and an "ONSIGHT ATTEMPT"?
My theory is it is a climb that you try so hard that you visualise you are
being chased by a tyrannosaurus rex.
Whereas a non ONSIGHT ATTEMPT is one where you are chased by a
white bunny rabbit.
aside from that the photo is OK (the climbing one that is) |

Ya might be bak but ya wrogn dude.
Anotha 4 stars to twist the stats in tha right direction an counteract ya silly post.
He tried it at first layin eyes on it, but failed on that try = onsite attempt.
Tryin a climb first time with the right mindset is an adrenalin pumpin advencha jus like rabbit feels when monstered by TRex, and any attempt afta that including onvisual (these days includes Utube), is a grandniece attempt.
Ed tells me he rates the pikcha highly, an so do I, so that leaves you the odd one out by only rating it as OK.
