Metrosideros colensoi, the climbing rata or Colenso's rātā, is a forest liane or vine that is endemic to New Zealand. It is one of a number of New Zealand Metrosideros species which live out their lives as vines, unlike the northern rata (M.robusta), which generally begins as a hemi-epiphyte before growing into a huge tree. It grows to around 6 metres in height and bears clusters of pink or white flowers. It is unusual amongst New Zealand's metrosideros species in that its branches display a weeping habit, forming a 'hanging curtain' appearance. This behaviour is uncommon in New Zealand native plants.

Free climbing at the Marjan Park Forest in the city of Split, Croatia. These cliffs are just a short walking distance from the city center, facing the south and the open sea. The vista from the top, over to the Adriatic blue sea, is just stunning.
During the middle ages, there was a tradition of men living in the caves among these cliffs, seeking religious meditation and seclusion. These caves can still be seen (as in the lower right corner of this photo); some even bearing the Coat d'arms of the families that once owned them.
After relaxing for a few days in Hamilton Island we made our way to Sydney for the next stop on our Australian Adventure. First up on the agenda was a climb to the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, 440 feet above the harbor.
Taking the 'express' route, the climb took a little over 2 hours roundtrip. Before setting out though we had to gear up in our 'bridge suits', pass a breathalyzer, and secure all loose items in lockers (yes, that included my camera). You are not allowed to carry ANYTHING with you on the bridge climb except your sense of adventure. Don't even think about trying to sneak anything along with you as you must pass through a metal detector before even setting foot on the bridge.
While I was bummed about having to leave my camera behind, the view & experience the Bridge Climb offers is not to be missed. Our guide did an excellent job of narrating the climb with a helping of history smothered in humor.
While there are quite a few steps involved in the climb, the route itself is not at all strenuous. Just be sure to watch your step as well as your head in certain areas.
Included with your bridge climb admission is a ticket for the 'Pylon Lookout' where is where this photo was taken from. While not as high as the summit of the bridge, the Pylon Lookout offers excellent views and best of all, you are allowed to bring your camera along with you.
Thanks for looking & have a great weekend!

These monkeys live in Angkor Wat and they search food from visitors. They can climb very fast over steps. walls of Angkor.
This is the first picture that jumped out at me from the 6 hours of climbing footage Travis and I took today at Carabiners in new Bedford, Mass. I noticed this little climber ascending the ropes in front of the large lights and had to grab the capture. I think it turned out nicely!
How do you get up the hill? One step at a time. One painful step at a time!
Shorten the stride and keep taking steps!
