Grit stone climbing looks hard core!! Nice photo's, makes a change from motorbikes, I'm sure! were you on a rope for some of these or is there decent vantage points to get the side on shot?

Thank's Mushy, there are some very good vantage points next time i will try and be more creative, i used a bit of flash on some of these
My Grandfather used to practise on these same rocks in the 1920's before traveling the world climbing some of the highest montains in Tibet and most of the world

Great shots! The flash is a pretty interesting effect when the camera is so far away... I assume you used an off-camera flash of some sort? Works pretty well.
