A photo of that I took was recently used by Adidas Outdoor for a series of posters of their climbing athletes. The picture was of American climber Ben Rueck on a grade 28 route at Mt.

In December 2012, the Victorian Climbing Club (VCC) organized a mass reset of the Burnley Bouldering Wall, which can be a very rare occurrence. I offered to shoot a timelapse of the event, which they were more than happy to do. Situated beneath the Monash Freeway, these walls were established in 2006 by the VCC in partnership with Parks Victoria, Citylink and Transurban. This video showcases a

Aug 12

The stars aligned recently I was able to film, climb, and create two videos over the course of a weekend in July.

Simon was in town (Melbourne) to launch his new book World Climbing: Rock Odyssey, the follow-up to his previous Images From The Edge.

It’s been a long time coming, but we got there in the end – the screening and DVD launch in Christchurch of Beyond The Plains, and I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. About a month before the official premiere, Beyond The Plains also screened, in it’s entirety this time, in Wanaka at the New Zealand Mountain Film Festival 2011, and was very
