Just a quicky from my last OT, a French bloke chilling out on the north-east spires of Mt Ossa.

Yet another Frenchman, this time at Cape Hauy. There's nothing between the front of him and the ocean. Definitely NOT something I would do.

Im not great with heights. As inspiring as those shots are, they give me butterflies ;)

I'm terrified with heights too. Just clever angles.

I'm with you Dan, the first two I was alright with but I could not have that last one on my wall, I can't look at it without feeling queezy.

After yesterday's mishap on Mt Ossa perhaps the perspective changes a little.

That one on Federation... That's just the direct ascent route isn't it ;)

It's the extra fast short cut descent route.

The ones from Fedder and the skyline traverse make me nervous and kind of excited...

To close for me. Worried a bird might fly into me and knock me off the edge. Lol

I always laugh at the irony of people hanging off cliff edges or standing atop of spires like above at cradle wearing a helmet.

Just because it's a spire, doesn't mean it's the peak... And they had to get there somehow.

Wearing a helmet is smart. It won't save you if you fall but will stop you getting small rocks from falling on you and when you get caught by your belay rope
