On the edge
Leading at sunset
Dhugal shows us how it's done on a sunset climb. You can see the alpine glow on the rocks. This climb was awesome because there was a ledge you could climb up and take pictures of people on their way up.

Trust the rope!
Colin looks good doing the 90ft abseil (or "rappel" in American climbing language) through a waterfall. My hands got pretty slippery!

Aiming high
Australian footy is awesome. I played for the Melbourne University "intermural" and got a split lip my first game. This was a match between North Melbourne Kangaroos and Collingwood Cats.

Alpine ice
More credit to Brian Schuster and his SD500. Climbing on some soft alpine ice. This was my first experience mountaineering! It gives a pretty good perspective on how little of Vinnie's crampons are actually in the ice.

Thanks to Brian Schuster for taking these series with my camera.
Self-arrest tutorial
Step 1: Initiate free fall. Doing a frontflip is usually sufficient.
Step 2: Get a hold of your ice axe while you are falling down the hill. No ice axe means you keep falling.
Step 3: Put your full body weight on the ice axe. Legs up in the air is not good form.

Don't stab me!
This is a series of shots from our self-arrest teaching session. The goal is to hurle yourself into the air, avoid stabbing yourself with your ice axe and then stop yourself by slamming the ice ace into the snow. Vinnie and I got a little creative with it.
