back up...


...the mountain.

It's been so long since I last climbed Mt Tibrogargan, that I had to search back through my photos to find the date - turns out it was in march of 2007!

In that time, the powers-that-be have added some safety fences to the lower part, but have thankfully left the more difficult top section alone.

that's mark, good friend of 29yrs.

view from the top - one of the great things about Mt Tibrogargan, is the eastern view. It's completely unobstructed to the coast. Truly spectacular, and photos don't seem to be able to do it justice.



just past the summit, there's a nice overhang to soak up the winter sun. Mark and I managed to find a narrow window of opportunity - where the upward journey isn't too busy, and the Summit isn't too hot, or crowded.



I guess the only problem with climbing at the time we did - is the massive number of people heading up after us. Here's a shot of mark waiting for people to pass, so we can descend



Descent is trickier - but infintiely more fun...



random photo from the top.

I've finally negotiated my next project, which will be shooting in Sydney From 5th July for 5 weeks.

Not much more to say about the last few weeks, been bridge climbing, recording a few commercials, and repairing some equipment.

Somehow I've managed to avoid the seasonal cold/flu so far... and have even started to go back to the gym (in preparation for my next job)

ok, I'll catch you all later.
