Its been a while....

Since the last post....sorry people who care! Well its been busy as! On the school front I am securing a thesis project doing environmental planning for a coal mining operation in Australia. Hopefully this pans out... Back into--and fully immersed in the incomprehensible grind of the mAsters degree, time is a valuable commodity.

Yet one finds time to have one last weekend of climbing glory at frog buttress with my trusty French climbing partner Vince. We hit up many classics, notebles include our fav route Gladiator 10a, see below...

Later I onsighted my hardest crack yet...Sorcerers apprentice 5.10c/d on the thin and inspiring lines off the warlock ledge..also see below...

too cool....


starting the apprenticship...


these are photos from after our weekend of glory, climbing test peice classics under perfect winter conditions and returning for Vince's farewell party!!!....



Unfortunately our weekend of amazing cragging was slightly marred by the knowledge of yet another classic swell on the coast, refracting into the numerable Australian East coast coves and beaches....Thanks of course to Mr Leon Hunter for sending me the photos of 'HOW GOOD IT WAS'!!! Haha....either way everyone is smiling like lunatics...

Talk soon....
