Climb Eastern Canada

by **mitchleblanc** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 6:08 am

I went out climbing for the first time since I arrived in Sydney a couple weeks ago. Check out these pics from my visit to The Frontline at the Balkans.

Let me know what you think. About the pictures I mean.

Yo,

For all your suckas up in the freezing arctic hell that you call "Canada" who want something to peruse during work, I invite you to check out some wicked pics from bouldering this Saturday down unda.

No one seems to comment on any of the pics, but here is the most recent set, from today at "The Villas", at Sutherland:

http://www.mitchleblanc.com/gal-frame.p ... ng&set=007

This place was crazy, a really featured roof, totally horizontal, really hard. I got on this route called "Contact" which is rated V12, (I think) but it seems easier than "The Egg", so I dunno. I did all moves but one, so it'll go, hopefully. Need some crazy pinch/undercling power though! Also got on a nice (but painful and brutal) V8 called "Savage".. ouch.

Anyway, good pics, check 'em out.

mitch,

I always look at the pics. I just don't want to comment cause I don't want to hurt your ego when I tell you how weak you look.

just teasing love! keep the photos coming!

Mitch,

you know I send you my love letters everyday.

Plus... I'm stoked for your new website where we can comment about individual pics etc. Can't wait.

Your photos rock. Keep up the good work.

Yo, some photos (not many, just a couple) of bouldering in Lindfield. Actually, we only climbed for like 15 minutes, if that, because the area is super limited, tons of vertical crap, if you're a total beginner it's good. Anyway, check it out, set number 008.

The climbing looks sweet as always but I was more intrigued by your berry photo today. Very interesting depth of field. How close were you for this shot? I'm impressed by the optics on your digi. What's the closest range that it will focus at?

You didn't really taste it did you?

I've heard that alot in my pale, fish belly life. I worked on it today a bit. Ended up more a few rosy shades of pink, not unlike this here forum color scheme. I'll work on it, and show off more of my buff bod' for you, next time. For now, enjoy this recent update:

Oops, that's an old cut and paste. How about this one:

Set 009 is from today (Saturday) and I'm headed to Frontline tomorrow (Sunday) (uhm.. redundant) so should have set 010 up soonish.

Peace my brothers (and sisters) from a different mother,

Mitch down unda, mate.

http://www.mitchleblanc.com

Yet again some pictures for your viewing pleasure:

Set 15 is the newest one, as of this writing, though I think it's been a while since I posted here, so you might have missed a few... Nope, just one.. set 14 is also new, since I last posted. Peace!

Thank god... A post that's not about ice climbing! Welcome to the newest installment of "climbing in Sydney".. Not many real (or good) climbing shots, but it should be enough to make you wanna visit, and good to kill a few minutes at work:

Another sydney climbing update:

http://www.mitchleblanc.com/gal-frame.p ... ng&set=019

Big news of the weekend.. Charles (who is from Toronto area) sent a V9 in a few hours and I (basically) sent "L'homme Obu", a linkup V11. Also sent this evil, evil nemesis of mine, a super big move V9. Was a good weekend. Not many great photos, but better than posting in a "Mitch sucks" thread, eh?

Enjoy.

some sweet pics there mitch. some nice looking lines too....

by **tracstarr** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 8:13 pm

i'm jealous... wish it was warm here. I mean it's nice to get some of those pain in the ass slopers when it's cold, but nothing beats the heat.

by **mitchleblanc** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:20 pm

Hell yes... and it's getting to be "winter" (ha) so the temps are quite nice... it's not scorching hot, just sunny and nice!

The climbing is pretty good here, yeah... lots of nice stuff, for sure. I'm looking forward to getting on some NS granite this fall/winter though!

Time for another photo set, if you're interested:

In the last couple days I uploaded... sec.... 104 new climbing photos on my site! Bound to be something you like in there.

Enjoy!

ps: Shameless self promotion: Sent another V11 today! A 16-ish move big-throw, power fest called "Mushi Brain". Stoked!

by **mitchleblanc** » Sun May 08, 2005 2:09 am

Not that anyone cares (obvious self-depracation in order to draw out sympathy comments) but here is a flowery (obvious self-depracation in order to prevent embarassment of poor photo quality) set of photos that I posted just today, from a few climbing trips. Fun stuff. Enjoy.

by **mitchleblanc** » Sat May 14, 2005 8:56 am

New set today:

http://www.mitchleblanc.com/gal-frame.p ... ng&set=028

From the Villas, in Sutherland. That route Brendon is on is beautiful. I also stuck all the moves on "Contact"! V12! :shock:

Next time maybe!

Also set 27 is new since I posted my last links, but not quite as good:

http://www.mitchleblanc.com/gal-frame.p ... ng&set=027

Enjoy!
