Testing the strength of a double headed figure of eight with one ear not attached. Conclusive evidence states that this is just as secure as though it had both ears attached. The load strand fails, the ear doesn NOT pull through. This shot shows the load cell numbers.

I set the portaledge up on White Water Wall in Frecinet Nat Park on the east coast of Tasmania. Lotsa jiggery pokery trying to get a half decent pic of this.

The Moai is a classic destination climb on Tasmania's Fortescue Bay area. I took this pic on our recent Pinnacle Sports guided trip to Tasmania where I was working as a guide.

Phil Box rope soloing a possible new route on Indian Head which is located on Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world. Fraser Island is located off the SE Queensland coast.

Cam Fairbairn on his new route, Terminus of Desire, 20metres, grade 25, The Secret Cave, Flinders Peak, SE Queensland, Australia.

Shem Barnes deep water soloing at the Pindari Dam in northern New South Wales. Pindari Dam is located near Macintyre Gorge and Ashford. During recent rains the waterfall started gushing so we all went to check it out and a couple of brave souls jumped in to the large pool below the falls necissitating a climb out to take another jump. Good times.

Duncan Steel on one of his early attempts to climb Whistling Kite 30m 32 (5.14a/b) at Frog Buttress, SE Queensland Australia. He is pictured here on the bottom crux of the route. This shows how thin and delicate the foot work and hands are on this monster of a route.

Pic from Steve Turners perspective using my camera of the cozy little vegemites all tucked in against a cool winters morning last Sunday morning after the the great portaledge party. There were 8 of us camped up on the wall that night. We were up in underneath the upper overhangs on the Beerwah Bolt Route, Mt. Beerwah, SE Queensland Australia.
