Chris looking at the small crimp which seems such a loooong way away on circus jerkus. Not too sure but I think, thats the easy bit

Phil about to let fly as Al casually informs him "no mate, your oootherr left" (he can be very harsh at times)

timmy once again proving when in doubt, find a kneebar

Max (13yrs) tried his best on this problem but was about 2 inches away from the lip, it is a very ugly landing, so some close spotting was required.....photo by EIVIND WANG

13 yr old Max and his first outdoor trip to the Grampians. This was his third time pulling on the climbing shoes and could well prove to be a top climber in the future. Get Down On It he despatched on his second attempt. He had a blast over the weekend and reckons rockclimbers are keewwlll, so he is off to good start hehehe.

Al (crux_clipper) Robertson almost at the completion of the first ascent of The Shaolin Warrior V5

Martin (Dalai) Lama and one of the most extrordinary moves I have ever witnessed the only thing holding him on the rock is obligation....

Al (crux_clipper) Robertson on his way to the FA of his line, The Shaolin Warrior V5. There are little to no holds on the problem, so it is all about friction and balance.

Sheer determination and some awesome moves almost saw Martin (Dalai) Lama with the first ascent on this V5. Area is a new location and still undergoing some development

Al (crux_clipper) Robertson and a closer view of how little there really is on The Shaolin Warrior V5

Martin (Dalai) Lama giving it his all on The Shaolin Warrior V5....

tel on an unamed V2 on Amazing Boulder at Trackside boulders grampians. Power up from the ground and whilst the sloper looks marginal it is quite positive, slap to the top is one that has to be hit just right ..
