>You still doing much aid these days?

I did all my DF routes in the early 2000's along with a bunch of new(?) solo-aid routes on Shipley, Megalong, etc. during that same period and after. Mostly stuff no-one would ever want to do again so not written up anywhere. Had a few diff partners willing to do Dog, incl. Richie Charlton who I did Gigantor with. He was climbing really strongly at the time and did a lot of his pitches free with thus usual suspect (engaging) placements. I always liked that you could make a crimp where you wanted with some rubbing of the fingertips, a hex placement was only a couple of hammer blows anywhere you wanted one. Having cams track down the crack while you were standing on them always gave incentive to keep moving too.

Moved on to alpine climbing and then PG'ing for a while after that and then no climbing for a while due to other commitments and a heap of work travel. Having blown a knee earlier this this year am just now getting back into things with some bouldering and smaller roped climbing. Still have all the aid gear fest so who knows, could be back into the whole vertical trench warfare sometime soon-ish.

Kudos for freeing those Dog routes though.

Paul
