07 and 08

haven't blogged here for a long time.
just wondering, what's the highlight of your climbing career this year? Climbaprix? Sending a hard route? Taking your first lead fall?
And what do you hope to achieve in 2008?
I'll start.
The best thing in 2007 has to be sending Tidal Wave in Tonsai, Krabi. Took me 13 tries, I bet everyone was sick of belaying me already haha.
In 2008, I hope to win Boulderactive and climb at a higher level than now. And continue enjoying climbing with all you people.
Air your views! The blog is all about black and purple, tees and singlets now. So boring.

black with purple

that's how it'll look. what do you guys think?

[Singlet Designs]

singlet design 1

singlet design 2

thank you all so much for the feedbacks and comments given so far.
we sincerely apologise if the changes made do not reflect everyone's feedbacks. Too many new ideas liao, hence, there would be too many new variations. This would make finalising the design tougher :( paiseh...

lastly, mmm.. i would also like to clarify one issue. Eventually, i did not use the NUScsc logo as this logo represents the climbing sub club. I also did not edit the logo such that it would be "climbing team", instead of "CSC" as it would come across as disfiguring the sub club's logo. hence, sorry, i guess we have to make do with the current designs that we have :)

one last last thing.
we needa know the finalised designs and colour soon so that we can check out the price of the printing and the shirt/singlet respectively.
closing date for voting is on 28th December :) hurry hurry! sorry to rush you pple..

yup. have a merry merry christmas.. hohoho...

Getting that $$'s worth


The nice Boulder cave at Ipoh, routes 32-37.

We tried this seemingly IMPOSSIBLE route which Liu Li initially claimed was La Sculpture 7C until we got stuck at the 3rd clip and later found out that maybe it's clockwork orange 9a?!

team singlet design

Hello nice pple!

Yup, this post is concerning the team singlet.
Regina, Weiling, and myself would be making the team shirt and singlet. *applauds* haha
Below are the (proposed) designs for the singlet (there might be new ones coming up)

>>>>> Design 1 -- *small WE*
The concept of this design was contributed by Diana and Yi wei :)

okie, for this design, I have received feedback that the small "WE" looks abit weird, so yah, this is how it looks like with a big "WE"

>>>>> Design 2


.

.

.

.

.

okie, lastly, I have also received feedbacks that the design for the back of the singlet is kinda complicated.
I have somewhat simplified it to the best of my ability. haha.
Pls look and see if the original or the simplified design is to your liking.
(left image below - the more complex design
right image below - the simpler design)

yups! that's it for now.
Stay tuned to the Yahoo! group or the blog cos more info about the team singlet would be posted. And there will be a poll to decide on the finalised design soon.
for now, pls comment on the designs! if there are other designs that you pple have in mind rite, please share!! :D
OH YESH! the colour of the shirt and the printing has yet to be decided, hence, pls comment about tt too!

Here's the ever beautiful HRH and her bodyguard:

Can see that they really enjoying themselves. Enjoying what? I really ponder....

Oh here's the bat:

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

If i'm not wrong, there's no one post in the archives with this title! haha i'm hoping to be the first. guess our exams are all coming to an end by now.. TIME TO FEAST! Shall we have a team lunch this coming saturday! 8th dec. I heard we're going TJC to climb, after climbing we go makan! EVERYONE must turn up since we will be free birds by then

or

PICNIC!


YOU CHOOSE!

Ah yes! Diana we will present you your prize this sat since you were, unfortunately, the sole participant of our challenge. Thank you! And we were kidding when we said "level 40 only?!". Your score is almost double mine and fel's. HAHA! the difference between SR and RJ.

Ipoh Tambun Beta (accuracy not guranteed)

Here's route 10 and 11, namely Latrine (6b+) and Over the shoulder boulder holder(6c+), both 35m long. [Route 10 in blue, route 11 in red]

A closer look at the mid-section (most likely crux) of Latrine:

And here's route 17 - Roots and Fruits (4b):

Think LL will most likely solo this, but this is not a dare. And safety is priority.
