Chockstone Gathering Highlights Gathering Highlights (5.5 Meg, 1 minute)
An amalgamation of several routes, including Neil on the full body workout splitter jam crack Bravetheart (18), Neil again stemming Jack Russel (22) the corner crack, Alistair making a near clean onsight of the Dog Rocks test piece Scottish Resign (24), Neil once more, getting spat off Mo Money (25), and some bouldering action, including a glimpse of Julian on the FA of a new problem. Audio included! Video by Michael Boniwell.
Julian Saunders Bouldering Julian Saunders (6 Meg, 1.1 minutes)
The FA of a new, high ball boulder problem is boldly ascended by Julian Saunders, despite moss, loose granite flakes, and no chalk bag. A nice dyno guards the opening moves, then it's sketchy pseudo-mantling on a mossy slab scoop before topping out gecko style. Audio included! Video by Michael Boniwell.
Kent FFA Attemp (Click To Play Video) Scorpion Rocks Project (3.4 Meg, 55 seconds)
Kent on a FFA attempt at Scorpion Rocks. There's actually two separate attempts merged, hence the plethora of camera angles and discontinuity with the helmet. Video by Michael Boniwell.
Inquisition Video Clip Inquisition (2.7 Meg, 43 seconds)
Michael leading Inquisition, a 15m grade 14 at Wabbit Wocks, Mt Alexander. A short, easy lead, but very enjoyable. Definitely recommended for climbers new to the area. Video By Brett T.
Hendo's Arête (2.5 Meg, 40 seconds)
Michael top roping Hendo's Arête a 15m, grade 21 at Wabbit Wocks, Mt Alexander. The crux is the first couple of moves. Actually that image on the left is Ben, but whatever. Video by Michael Boniwell.
