No, a documentary.

And good luck with the FAPDO. Nice to see some people have ethics.

On the Omega block. You can see a ring in the foreground at head height.

Has she been lowered off the Boogie anchors maybe? If so she's looking remarkably composed.

Thinking more like around Bloodline etc?

Yeah, if that's Omega Block, it's definitely on the Bloodline side. The Witch/Boogie side would have had hills in the background, rather than the trees and downhill slope in the image.

Spot on Dalia. Was up there that night. Couldn't work out what was ging on. Heap of cameral gear and women in outlandish outfits. They were doing the photo shoot around the Bloddline aera. We didn't qiuite know what was going on but we continued to thrash our way up Wittch. Didn't bother to poke our heads around the corner as we had our work to be done, and they had theirs. Key thing was, they were all great people, all of them We were interested in what they were doing and they were interested in our climbing. Would be happy to induct any of them into the world of climbing.

According to the blurb in The Age, they were with John Morris, who I'm guessing we know as the son of Steve and co-author of 17 down under.

Back on topic, the accidental retro bolts will be removed and the rock repaired by the installers. I was not given a time frame, but at least it will get done.

RE: Model photos on camels hump

If the idea is to reproduce the feeling from a mountain goat scrambling for some food, then, why not just use a picture of the mountain goat?

When I saw the climber in a blouse I first thought of my fiend Ed, but then saw the fanncy climbin shoes an thought Ed's not that swank.

Ed would love the pro she's about to place tho.

An yeh, she is obviously climbin bloodline.
U peeps R so good at picking up the visual clues!
