Big Al has dispatched a new highball project around the corner of the Loopey's area in the Grampians. The 4th Reich (Team Deutchen) were attempting this gem by dynoing from some pockets to a jug at around 8 metres. Al laughing at such stupidity utilised some small holds in between to establish 'The Eagle's Nest' (named for height and German Soul Destruction) coming in at around V7. Nice One Al! - Stay Tuned for Dave Pearson's Photos or Slowpoke Rodriguez's Video.
The Fatman Sutter is out for another few weeks after breaking his foot bouldering/warming up at the base of Muline. Some reports have suggested that the injury was caused by an awkward landing, however COC has the real story. Nick was attempting to beat Wetnuts' rock throw record when dropped the rock on his foot. Nick's excuse is that the Patagonian winds previously mentioned, blew the 10kg chunk of sandstone back at him.
Back in Melbourne, my training is starting again after a 6 weeks off due to a pesky finger injury that won't go away. Again I've not been able to get to Nowra, 3rd year running! Both Sutter and I had planned to rip it up somewhat...yeah that's right, but alas we're both on the disabled list again.
So whats the training goal.....well get my finger back to normal is no. 1. Thanks to Wetnuts I'm on the weight vest bouldering train. Benji Cossey on a recent trip to Melbourne has also discovered the soul cleansing goodness that only extra weight can accomplish. I hooked him up with PowerVest like mine. And lastly, I'm in training to reach the world Top 100 250Hz Powerball high speed list. Fuck yeah. I need to put on 2400rpm to get onto list. Can it be done?......Stay tuned.

Here are my photos of Al training on the Wall of Justice - the new A-Team Lair, and attempting Annagramma at Hollow Mtn Cave.
