You ****ing ****s can't believe you ****ers got that. Damn I feel stupid now! Still I live in hope of cleaning up the leftovers as the temperatures look to stay the right side of freezing. edit: some really nice shots there, working the angles! On a good light day I reckon you might have had a couple of real keepers!

The debris shot is another Dan classic, not me I'm afraid. I hope Yamashiro san gets better quickly as well. Because he was able to get back down without complaining a lot I thought it might not be too bad, but I think he was just being tough. It seemed a lot worse the next day...

Also active in the area was another team supporting Fattwins on his first Broventure.
