Zheng Xin didn't dare to jump off the top.

Krabi is beautiful.

Wanted to post some videos of us in this place, but its all of us on the rope ladder! Here's one wuss struggling:

Don't roll your eyes at this

This blog is getting boring! Its Chinese New Year and all I see are climbing videos and more climbing videos. Where is the 'qi4 fen4'?? So lets do something cool.

Vote your favourite Hong bao! And give some credit to the people who painstakingly designed these red packets ( don't just throw them away after taking out the $$) .

This one's my favourite

Did anyone of you get the same one? HAPPY CNY!

Amsterdam Prostitutes

I just recalled something really funny that John said during one of the training days when we were on the second floor of the gym. For the uninitiated, the second floor of the gym is where the campus rungs and finger boards are, and people usually peek in when they walk pass by. There are no windows but we have metal grills instead.

"I'd feel like an Amsterdam prostitute."
- John, during one of the campusing sessions

This is some crazy stuff! He's a trained gymnast as well

BTW the forest with lots of boulders and the sandy floor is actually Fontainebleau at Cul du Chien

This is the HUGE one. Adrian you might like this :D I got this for CAD$35

bouldermania08 NTU

NTU UMC organised this 2 day climbing competition some weeks ago. It was climbing carnival style and although it was closed to the NTU populance, NUS was fortunately invited and we all had some good fun there.


The wall at 'the spine'


Climb On style with 20 routes in total, 5 on each side of the wall. Got to commend UMC for having different routes on each day. The routes were generally easy as it was a competition meant for new climbers but luckily there were 2 harder routes meant for those with a little more experience.


Charles.

final final design..

hello folks..

as mentioned in one of the yahoo!group messages, below are the finalised designs.
Weiliang edited the words of the logo for the back of the t-shirt.
as for the singlet design, I tried to make the fonts the same and i also I hope I got the signs for the climbing team correct this time, i.e. passion, freedom, dreams :)

Climbing at SRJC on 2nd Jan 2008 courtesy of HRHRH (don't sulk zhengxin!)! Thoughts in Junxian's head: The truth might hurt, Regina, but I'm bored. I rather boulder.

Thoughts in Junxian's head: But it's okay I guess I can pose for a pic with two demure ladies...

Junxian: -wanders back to the boulder gym-


Due to some freak accident last year (I think), all climbers on outdoor walls must wear helmets.

We wanted to boulder only initially, but the SR team had to train as well, and that was why we relocated to the outdoor wall, albeit for a short while. We then streamed to the boulder place and quietly set our routes on their steepest wall while the SR people focused on the not-so-steep walls. Slowly, we made our presence felt and erm yea dominated the walls eventually. Oops.

Their boulder gym is located in a sheltered open-air area. It's naturally windy as well, so I suppose a chalkbag explosion doesn't really hurt too badly. Plus the author finally understands where Regina's apprehension of high boulder walls (think NUS) stemmed from- the SR boulder walls are rather short and the span of the wall is quite small too. But it's cosy and better than JCs which have no walls at all or have delayed putting up climbing walls since 1298371 years ago (think CJC).

Peace out yo,

Ah Lian

ps. I don't actually "peace out yo" really. Trying my darnest to suit my image now. Not working. Sigh. (HAHA).

HAPPIEST :D

WHEE!

Fel! This is for you.

Clean up and Campus Board Extension

Happy 2008!

Hm, first post of the year 2008 for this blog!

Just wanna say, I hope that the year ahead will spell victory for everyone (as aptly gestured in the photos below!). Victory can come in various forms – competitions, projects (both academic and climbing), and very importantly, victory can be derived purely from the individual e.g. stretching personal limits, achieving safe and fun climbing, or even managing a 3-week climbing trip (that's my goal!). Happy New Year to TeamNUS!
