    Murph wanted me to post some pics of him climbing back in the day. So here’s a couple mate and see if you name the climb and the area.

    Murph was just as mad opn the rocks as he is on the bike. :P

    I like this one. And yes 1inarow I was belaying him at the time. He had a 17m drop to the ground if the bolt let go. Great stuff.

    It’s not even the fall that bothered us. It was the sudden stop at the end. I took a 15m fall once. First bit gear pulled out (hit me in the face), second bit broke and thrid bit held. I pulled up 2m from the ground. 1.5 tri cam, bent the hell out of it and cracked a bone in my ankle. Then walked out of Mt York. We were hard men back then.

    Now I roll around on the ground if I graze myself when I come off the bike.

    That would be Exhabition Wall at Mt York and another grade 21 at Zig-Zag :)
    Now wheres the photos of you mate :woohoo:
    Glad we didn’t wear lycra like some of the other poses did. That just would have been wrong :blink:
    Cheers

    Or maybe just before one, I remember taking a bit of a drop on one of the first attempts near the top of that climb :(
