Lucky has something not currently available in the Arc' catalogue - balls of steel. Although it would be real nice if you could pick a pair up from the shop, hopefully in a matching colour to your beanie... Awesome vid... : )

You have captured some amazing features from some excellent angles, and the great results reflect the hard work that must have gone into obtaining some of those angles.
Thanks for sharing it with us.
I wasn't happy with the quality of the vid I posted above, so I produced it again and posted it to YouTube where you can also see it in high definition. Cheers.
For those few like myself who still haven't seen King Lines, One HD have this in the TV guide for 7:30 tonight, straight after ther Herald Sun Tour highlights starting at 6:30 pm...

I know what you mean. I think he was definitely hamming it up for the camera. He struck me as being completely fearless rather than controlling his fear (does that make sense??) Then again I have only climbed Rex Hunts on that wall, but from what I can gather Northern Exposure is quite a bit harder and pumpier(??).
Its not too bad, I dont remember it being hard for a 22. Though in reference to that guy, I shit myself when I have shiny bolts beneath me at Point Perp- that guy really does have nothing between himself and the waves crashing 70m+ below!

... except the rather large ledge at the base of that wall (??!!). The halfway ledge is pretty big there.

I always find the ledge makes little difference to the exposure when your other points of reference are antartica, new zealand and japan.

Thanks! I guess. I mean, I must be getting old -- that's good yeah!? :-)
Did anyone catch "King Lines" on Channel One this evening? (7:30pm). Good to watch in HD. The
program guide says that next Thursday there will be another rock climbing adventure - the premiere of
"The Sharp End"
