Video Clips

* Poison Bait (4 Meg, 1 min 4 seconds) Malcolm Matheson cruising up the Scoop Rocks sport route Poison Bait (25) in the Grampians' Victoria Range. Fully horizontal across the powerful, endurance roof moves, HB locks off with one arm and conducts a lengthy conversation (edited out) with those below like he'd bumped into an old friend while in town. Footage shot from a nearby tor is steady and presents well up until the contrasty sky plays backdrop to the final moves. Video by Michael Boniwell.

* Poison Bait (5.9 Meg, 68 seconds) Part Two (4.8 Meg, 55 seconds) Or the full sequence in Low Res (3.8 Meg, 2 mins). Jacqui finally makes a much anticipated tick of Poison Bait (25) at Scoop Rocks in the Grampians. In part one, she valiantly fights gravity on the reachy opening moves. In part two, she tackles the pumpy horizontal roof while the winter winds lash cruelly. See also Jac's Trip Report Part 1 & Part 2. Video by Michael Boniwell.
