I had a look at what I believe is the latest edition of climbing and Julian Saunders has a great article on bouldering at Castle Hill, nice pics and a good read ... excellent julian....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also have a copy of a book adventure photo & film, which is a stock image book and Mr Carter has but one image there on file of what appears to be Mr Mentz unfortunately couldn't tell you what climb, though it is a sport route and from the orange colors I would guess it is in the grampians somewhere.
Greg Child also made a contribution though it is a little more grisly, the skeletal remains of a mountaineer that didn't make it and though snow melt has been exposed, so at a guess I would say nepal...
I don't have a scanner so can't do much, but maybe Simon can elaborate as to the route ...............

Hey Tel, Julian's Castle Hill article is in the latest Rock and Ice (#140 - March). Nice one Julian.

Would my pic of Le Mentz be on Mr Meat @ Gallery? I only have a small handful of pics w a stock library, mostly (99.99%) we deal direct.

Some good news… we can down-grade the moron-storm-weather-alert back to the normal level… (be alert, not alarmed).

I was surprised there’d be a 41 year old climber, living in Vic, who I’d never heard of, but also wondered why anyone would bother setting up an email address etc (not the first time mind you). So anyway I emailed the address… and lo and behold it turns out there actually is another “Simon Carter” who climbs, and actually takes photos (but not climbing ones) although he lives in the UK (Vic was the profile default).

Funny really. Now you can all be alert AND alarmed that all us Simon Carters are multiplying and will soon be taking over the world……………….

To avoid confusion Simon, er, the other Simon, said he’d probably use the “ravenstor” alias. Here’s one of his emails (posted w permission).

Welcome to Chockstone Simon, plenty of room in cyberspace – and everywhere else - for the both of us!

oops ...damn sorry about that.... but it is a great article

Well I wasn't sure, unlike some I am unable to see a partial pic of a crag and then say 'oh thats such and such', blows me out when others do it though.., Anyways thanks to a pic on Mr Monks Climbing site, I can say yep it is Mr Meat... and it blows me out that you were right with your first suggestion.
Tell me though in the pic Simon M is just over the bulge and about to attack what I assume is the face proper. Now it looks like the route goes up traverses left across the bulge then up the face/arete. Now his last clip is before going across the bulge, is that as runout as what it looks, or is that a bit of Onsight magic ;-)

Hi Simon,

just a quick post to say hi and to say cheers for that and sorry for the confusion, mind you i dont know
any other simon carters in the uk either so maybe theres just the 2 of us ; )

looking to come back out next year with my family and as i was last in Oz in 1984 i would expect a lot to
have changed.

still have to sort out this Vic default though.
