chris leaving 3rd belay on the run - fun first day

scott goin' heavy on the Nose - nice long easy climb but kinda steep here, at least

You can barely make out the three of us on the upper portions of the nose. We linked Little flatulence 5.8 with the rest of the nose 5.6 for an exciting introduction to monitor rock.

Rob enters the alcove for belay # 1. Beautiful alpine setting for this roadside crag.

Bob glances up to the rest of pitch 3. A prominent flake ascends the entire wall, providing good pro and an exposed arete for an excellant climb.

The sky darkens and the hail/rain start to come down just after topping out on pitch 5. Here bob mantles a ledge, he pulled my last piece of pro a good 15 ft below this move.

As the hail piled up we were still 180 ft off the ground. Not a good time.

Monique Russell training for her 2 weeks of climbing in Thailand. With temperature reaching in excess of 30 degrees in Brisbane, it is the perfect place to train for the sweltering heat of Phra Nang Bay.

This pic is of the 3 sisters in the blue mtns. You used to be able to climb them, but they banned it because it is a sacred Aboriginal site.

A shot of Lydz and maddie just having some fun bouldering at City Crag inside Mt Designs.

This is a pic taken in Narrabeen, otherwise known to us as... leech city! Yes thats right we were covered in the little, and sometimes FAT creatures. And just when you think your safe, (climbing a slab) you take off your shoe at the end of a climb to find

I think this one is tom leading the 21 that he redpointed... or it could just be him toproping it.

Tom leading a 18, with a snake in the crack just below him, which he didnt notice. Yeah Tom is 'the worst i've seen, couldnt climb a ladder'

Maddie bouldering at climbfit in the big bouldering section upstairs. Photo taken by Lydia.

maddie at Berowra on a 21, with tom below yelling out 'Crank it, crank it' every five seconds!

Jeremy pulling off some smooth moves last weekend at Berowra. It rained a couple of times through the day but it was only light and nothing to worry about.

Lydz doing a moderate problem at climbfit in Sydney. I sat on the top of the wall construction to get this photo!

This pic was taken by me, its of our group when we first got into the cave. You can see tree roots towards the left- hand-side.

Took this one while bushwalking in the blue Mountains. The walk was graded hard so there wasnt many tourists on it which was nice.

Here's Lydz again showing some more of her crazee moves! Bouldering at CLIMBFIT Sydney.

This is Lee, fairly new to climbing but has done a lot of bouldering. You sure know when he cant get a move cos you can hear the swearing ecco through the whole vally! Its very funny!

This is my climbing partner Lydz, otherwise known as crazeeclimber, and she sure is one mad little climber! This climb is at City Crag and is rated a 19 and is damn hard if you dont have tall power, which Lydz has heaps of...not. But never the less she

A fun 21 at Berowra. There is heaps of nice little pockets at the start to get you going but towards the middle and end theres nothing but a few crimpers.

This is tom on a 21 at Berowra which he redpointed! He's really good, thats cos he cranks it! Crank it, Crank it! (personal joke)

In the crack just below my foot was a snake, which my friend Clare, named Cyril. I wasnt the first one to do the route, as Tom had already led the climb without noticing it! As Steve Irwin would say, 'Crikey thats Dangerous'
