Ω An email update from Tom VDB:
“I thought it was about time for another update from the land of plenty…
We went back to Rastus burn and completed the water washed face project which I called ‘Mammoth Hunters’ V7, its finishes with a committing snatch to a slopey lip. One of the better problems around at the grade.
We also managed a few trips up North Wye Creek where we found several big alpine blocs. The main boulder has a large cave which produced ‘Stone of Ezel’ V8, a 20 move power endurance problem on pinches and quartz ribs and a crux where it hurts the most. It’s a great area and feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere, really scenic spot amongst the mountains.
Sam started working on powerful looking Rocky Mountain-style line. It’ll be one of the best problems around if I can drag him up the long approach again to complete it!
Sam managed to make a quick repeat of the V9 on the main boulder at Hospital Flat and has started working the infamous Golden Prow project at Bendigo. Watch this space”
Thanks Tom! Ω

Nice one Ω

Ω Tough Love star David Kopp has been spotted on the internet (by Peter Allison, who was presumably searching for porn) in this little clip:
This link arrived in my inbox while I was braving 45 knot easterlies and passing rain showers at Stony Batter, Auckland’s most scenic bouldering location. And **newsflash** I did a good problem there, called The Good Life V8. According to the guide, this problem is a sit start. According to the first ascentionist (Raygun), it’s a stand start. I did it from sitting down, which seemed like the most sensible way to start. Raygun thinks that might be a ‘first’ so, absent any naysayers and applying the ‘everyone with a new sequence is a first ascentionist’ rule (aka The White Falls Debacle Rule), I’m claiming it. And renaming it ‘Justin Bieber’ and inflating the grade by 12.5% Ω
