Nice view from Mount Boyce up in the Blue Mountains.
|
This is Mount Boyce. I did some solo top roping as I had not found a climbing partner for my visit to the Blueys.
|
Nice view in the Blue Mountains.
|
A nice hiking trail along a canyon called 'The Grand Canyon'.
|
A little detour from the 'Grand Canyon' hiking trail.
|
Inside the 'Grand Canyon'. It was a very nice canyon but the name is not very fitting if you have been to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
|
More canyons in the making.
|
The Three Sisters.
|
In Nowra I met up with Dave for three days of sports climbing.

A different view of Dave on the same route. He did it a number of times.
|
Jenny getting ready to go.
|
She climbed with style.
|
No grunting like me.
|
I don't think she even broke out a sweat.
|
My turn. The tip I got was 'If you're not on a jug, you're off route'.
|
Here we go.
|
It's nice with pre-placed quickdraws.
|
Getting heavy here...
|
The only rest point I could actually rest a bit on.
|
Jenny on a spooky start.

A very good route for photography.

Fun's over. Changing flights in Hong Kong on my way home.
