View from the top of Gorges du Verdon, one of the most amazing climbing destinations I´ve ever tasted
The Rock around Railay Beach
The rock is all limestone and is part of the worlds largest coral reef, stretching from China down to Papua New Guinea. The routes are all bolted sport climbing routes. The French grading system is used. With over 700 routes ranging from beginner 5a's to classic multipitch 6a's right up to the extremes of 8c there's enough here to keep any climber busy for years.

The Blue Mountains are a popular destination for Rock Climbers, Mountain Bikers and Hikers as well as canyoning and other adventure sports. These sports are well catered for by guiding companies and equipment stores located mainly in Katoomba.
Popular climbing destinations include the Centennial Glen cliffs near Blackheath, Mount Victoria, Mount Piddington and Mount Boyce. Climbing is currently banned on The Three Sisters.
Mountain biking takes place mainly on the many fire trails that branch away from the main spine of the Great Western Highway, such as Narrow Neck, Anderson's Fire Trail and others.
Likewise many of the fire trails are popular with day hikers, though many dedicated walking trails exist away from the fire roads.
Canyoning in the Blue Mountains is a popular sport and caters for various skill levels. It does carry with it inherent dangers but for those with the appropriate skills or those looking to take a guided trip there are many great opportunities to experience a different view of the Blue Mountains.
There are numerous abseiling options available in the Blue Mountains including single and multipitch routes. There are some restrictions though with certain areas being closed for abseiling.
This is one of those hidden gems the mountains has to offer!
I took this picture from the top of the Grande Grotta cliff on Kalymnos, after doing my first ever multipitch route. The weather was great and the view just perfect.

Hannah, you're a beautiful belay.

3 shot panorama of the Boar's Head exit route climb at Katoomba in the Blue Mountains.
This is a great multi-pitch abseil that offer either a walk out through the aptly named 'Devils Hole track', which is a steep scree slope that runs up through a break in the cliff, or you can opt to take the multipitch climb out which is much more fun.
Taken in 2005 on a Fuji point and shoot, it's one of my favorite adventure photos.

Thanks for all the views!
Last year has been a “meh” year for rock climbing and along the same lines went rock climbing photography.
Last weekend during the Fyli Climbing Festival I got a rare chance to get out and shoot some climbers, albeit I had no chance to climb. To be honest in my current physical state I don't feel really motivated to do so anyway. Interestingly I got a chance to shoot people on what might be simultaneously the most impressive and less visited hard crag in Athens. The massive wall of Central Arma in Parnitha. A wall that had been a photo project for me since the time we were making the Athens Climbing Guidebook.
The route photographed here is Broken Flowers, one of K.Rousos masterpiece lines graded around 8b and repeated only once by prodigy kid C.Vrohidis. On the photos, one of the most prolific Athenian climbers, Thanasis Kefalas is working on the route.
Andy approaching the top of the last pitch of the classic Eliminate A on Dow. Good to get out climbing with Ross and James again, and nice to tie in with Andy for the first time (outdoors anyway)! Long overdue....
My friend Lee and I got together yesterday for our first climb together this year. I fractured my right index finger three weeks ago bouldering and it's still in a splint. I've begun climbing again without using my finger but mostly bouldering and single pitch top rope. We set out to climb Vector, a 5.9 offwidth on The Apron. The climbing was great and we flew up the 6 pitches with no difficulty, I even lead the last pitch. We were having such a great time that when we got to the top of The Apron we didn't stop, we just kept going. Before we knew it we were on standing on the summit of The Chief enjoying this great view. This was my first time ever on the summit, it felt extra great to climb up before hiking up.
Lee if you ever read this, you're the man. Thanks for being a great climbing partner, and all around awesome dude.
Marcel (left) turns 50 this week. Here, he and his wife are traversing (climb horizontal) on a beautiful multipitch-route in the Orpierre area in the south of France. This half-a-day climb and descent is one of my most favoured climbs in the area.
I used a small, light pocketcamera for this shot. When you do such a climb, you have to go as lightweigthed as possible.
