Leaving NZ

I am heading to South Africa in a few days where I will be meeting up with some friends in Cape Town. Since it will be several days before I will be able to update I thought I would leave you all with a few parting images. Enjoy!

What trip to NZ would be complete without some sheep?.

Steve's idea of a 'warm up,' before a day of climbing.

MC getting out from behind the camera to enjoy some of what Flock has to offer.

Larger Images!

It seems that many of you have wanted to be able to view some of my posted images in a larger/clearer format... after tweaking with some of the settings it is now possible! Click on desired image and upon being sent to Flickr one will see an 'all sizes' icon. Select said icon and one can now view the chosen image in a significantly greater size & resolution. I hope that satisfies everyone!

The start of the approach to Flock Hill...

T-Rex sticking the throw on the Teehupoo dyno (Prebble Hill, NZ).

N. Island

I am back at my parents place now... the rain is falling and there are many chores waiting to be done.
I wanted to thank the 'New Zealand Climbers Club' for their hospitality! It was good seeing you all again... until next time.
Here are a few images I thought some of you might find interesting, and I should have some more in a few days time.

last weekend

So it's my last weekend on the S.Island and it doesn't look like I will be able to get out... which is really to bad as I still have tons more quality lines to send! Unfortunetly I overdid the pocket pulling two days ago and I experienced a flash of pain from my hand up through my arm. Since I was planning on heading up to the N. Island anyway; this should give me the time I need to recover for Rocklands.

update

There has been much activity up at the hill lately... the presence of 'Movement Films' and crew has boosted motivation and many new lines are going up. Kim-Lee has gone back to Korea (it was a blast meeting up again!), and Steve is trying to sell his van now. I have been cleaning up many of my projects from two years ago too! Here are a few shots of me on: stone works* and the truly incredible sunset arete*!
