Garry Phillips – still psyched, still crushing – at the ripe old age of 35 (36 this week!)
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.
The Australia Lead Nationals were in Hobart on the 7th of August and Whipper was there!
The Moon Fingerboard isn’t a new piece of climbing technology, it’s been available for a good few years now and there are a few reviews around, but it was a new addition for me this year. It has taken me a few weeks to get the fingerboard mounted and ready for a workout (what can I say, I’m lazy), but it all finally came together last week and I have been playing training hard on it ever since.
Simon Young coming oh-so-close on the classic Entrée (29) at the Star Factory, Tasmania. Here he is busting out the crux move, standing strong and tall on some the factory’s notorious glassy granite footers, and punching up into one of the biggest underclings in the southern hemisphere.
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.
Andrew ‘Bisso’ Bissett show us how to impress the women with five of his all time top tips.
