Dave went there to try Venom, and decided the left side of the groove would go as well. Worked the moves and came back later to claim the FA. The route was the "answer to Venom", hence the title Tourniquet. Photo, Claire Bear from Nunawading.

Matt Adams powering his way up the 45 degree overhung wall of Nomads, Saints and Indians in Millennium Caves in the Southern Grampians, Victoria, Australia. The bottom section to the last draw pictured is "only" 24 and is a classic in itself. Then the fun starts ... Photo, doughboy.

This was on previously, but I deleted it because I didn't like the way it scanned. I'm putting them all back though because some people thought they were okay. I'll update them when I can afford a better scanner.

This was on previously, but I deleted it because I didn't like the way it had scanned. I've rescanned it and I think it's a little better this time. Lemme know what you think. Photo, Tim Fahey

doughboy on Fortress (26, 5:12 b/c) at Arapiles. This is the crux move (catching the right hand edge). Nice little route. Photo, Christian Mathieson
This was on previously but deleted because of scanning problems. I've rescanned it and hopefully this time it's better.
I actually like this photo, although as with my other photo on Wackford Squeers, it hasn't been rated as well as some others. Oh well ...

My buddy Christian Mathieson masters the art of toe hooking by getting a no-hander in the middle of the Kachoong roof (21, 5:10d). To prove there was no tension on the rope, he pulled out a massive loop but unfortunately the photo looked average so this one will have to do. Photo, doughboy
