Pic of the Week 16/08/10:
Nic Perndt on the classic and popular Heinous Cling Direct Start (5.12a/25) at Smith Rocks, Oregon.
Doug McConnell on another Arapiles classic, this time India (28), a route that tends to dish out more than its fair share of epic seiges.
Simon Weill showing off his guns, his tan, his tatt, his power, and his bald spot, in the cave of Sant Llorenç, Spain.
A lengthy interview with Dave Graham by Udo Neumann. The ‘wizard of climbing’, talks about climbing, life and his philosophy.
Sometimes when you are climbing, things can get a little worrisome. To ease the stress, here is a comforting little poem found hidden away in an old Climbers’ Club of Tasmania newsletters from days gone by…

A collection of some buildering clips from Europe. Including a ‘trad route’ and a ‘deep river solo’.
If you talk to most people about climbing in Central Australia, the only thing they’d be able to think of is Uluru. This is a shame, as there are quite a few decent cliffs up/over there amongst all the dust. So why not escape the winter and take this champagne tour of Northern Territory rock, courtesy of Nerv Nargle.
The release of a rad new guidebook often stimulates a flurry of activity, and the new Grampians Bouldering Guide has been no exception. Here are some shots of Hot Mama Vibes (V6), just one of the new problems put up at Andersen’s lately.
