Ω Auckland’s best boulderer, Stuart Kurth.com, has rejigged his website. You can find it here: beastkong.com. I’ll be honest, I haven’t got a clue what the Beast Kong thing is all about, but the website is about Stoo and his sendage. His latest post is a video of a hard looking problem at Froggatt Edge, which I’ve cheekily embedded below:
Ω Someone was asking for a copy of the old Froggatt Edge bouldering guide the other day. Well, I found it squirrelled away on the 25MB hard drive of my old Compaq “laptop” - you know, the one’s that were even cheaper than they were slow (ie. very) and that gave you deep vein thrombosis if you actually used them on your lap for more than 2 minutes. Anyway, click here to live the Froggatt Edge bouldering dream! Ω
Ω James Field-Mitchell is leading a fashion revival at Froggatt Edge. He reports:
“I recently put up a new problem at Froggatt, which is actually pretty good (no pockets), about V9ish (could be easier). I got some good footage that is being cut up, its called the Vagabond King. I also repeated The Mission V9 I think it is the second ascent? and last week I did Col’s Traverse from a stand start. I have no clue if this was ever actually a problem, but I did it anyway.”
