My first climbing moves were performed at an early age, having to escape this rubbish bin at aged two....

An unknown climber gracefully makes his way smoothly from pocket to pocket on this classic Smith Rocks face climb- Heinous Cling. Darkness at Noon lies to the left and beyond that Chain Reaction.

Well, with a hair colour change like that who could blame the zombies!? Never share a house with girls during university if you want to stay 'yourself'. Anyway, it didn't put me off my day, while I blasted up an onsight accent of this fantastic climb in the Bluey's. Jan 95.

While hiding out in a cave, during a huge hail storm, above the Organ Pipes, I spied these climbers running for cover off the Bard Buttress.

Dave Hessey finding the way smooth and pleasant on Crescent Crack (10.d) at the Malamute (Squamish) in June 1998.

Someone I do not know climbing below the bridge during the 1998 Ouray Ice Festival. Thought it was an opportunistic moment!

I nice look at the Tonsai walls from a longboat.

A perfect evening in paradise.

Actually, the tree doesn’t come for another 10 feet. This is one of the most pleasant 5.6 climbs I’ve done. The traverse is fun without hands or elbows… apparently only head, hips and knees are allowed ;-)

Here’s the well-known bridge of The New. What was it that could fit under it? A Washington Monument, two Statue of Liberties, three Chevies, a keg of beer and a 0.5 Camalot… or something like that.

Keith just about at the start of the business of Tannin.

Jay shows us how it’s done, cruising this pumpy, but awesome 10c near Diamond Point.

....to those who tread before me! This is certainly ballsy bouldering anywhere on the Split Boulders. I only got a few moves up before retreating.

Deep in thought and commitment, this unknown boulderer attempts to navigate the arete of this great boulder problem during the New River Rendezvous bouldering comp.

Looking SE towards Thaiwand Wall and Happy Island.

Pausing to check out the route and the scenery, kachoong enjoys the perfect setting of climbing at Tonsai tower on the island of Phi Phi, Thailand.

The east face of Bridge Mountain at sunrise just before the onset of doom!

A sunrise just before the wind and rain on the last day of the 2009 Rendezvous.

Tannin. One of so many classic lines at Arapiles

A relatively rare photograph of Kachoong; without the great roof in view. The face below the roof actually needs a bit more technique than the roof itself.

Fabi, pleased the rain has stopped, as we top out on the back wall of the Pharohs.

...getting photos on Kachoong!
