Afraid to die?Micha just before a dyno moove in Dupree's Paradise (5.11a). Height: 17m above ground level. Protection: one sketchy cam#1 halfway down, 2 micronuts (#00 and #.5) in between, last piece of gear 3m below his feet. If he was ever afraid to die, this was the moment.

Golden peaksThis is the view we got on the top of the Petite Fourche. It's showing the west face of the Aiguilles Dorées, and they are really worth their name: Aiguilles Dorées means "golden needles"...

Face Nord BouldersThis is a picture of "Bloc B". It clearly shows the growing popularity of bouldering in Les Awirs. The Face Nord boulders are in fact the remains of a massive overhang that fell down some years ago, taking away possibilities for some really hard routes (5.14?), but creating these boulders...

Tnx 2 rc.comA while ago, I submitted a very similar picture. One of the advices was to crop out some disturbing trees. I cropped the photo exactly like proposed, and submitted it for a photo contest. Result: I got a very nice sleeping bag as a price, and now it's the front page picture of a local climbing magazine :-) So again, thank you rockclimbing.com!

Enjoy the summitFrench couple congratulating each other on the summit of Aiguille de l'Index. Through the clouds on the background, you can see the Mont Blanc. The magnificent view on the highest mountains of western Europe is what really makes climbing in the Aiguilles Rouges so beautiful..

Shadow movement in the park.In Hasselt, there are no natural rocks. Fortunately, some artist provided excellent practicing material by means of his statue in the park. Combine this with a sunny autumn day, a great climber (Bigwallollie climbing), and you get some nice shots...
