Blog from August, 2008

Some photographs to help jog the memories of older climbers may be found here.

Looks like plenty of snow up there right now, video is from last weekend: http://www.vimeo.com/1558094

Google has released streetview on its australian maps today, including an amazing amount of Tasmania.
Its not just streets, but lots of highways as well that have been photographed from ground level.
Seems that Google has updated a lot of the satelite imagery with higher resolution as well.
