A few photos from the competition on Saturday 20 Feb. Conditions were similar to last year — sunny, hot and very windy; about as difficult as it gets for this kind of photography, and not helped by the time of day (I started photographing shortly after 11 a.m.). Enough excuses! These are some of the better shots. Please feel free to comment (courteously, of course), and

I've been up to my eyeballs in contract work for the last several weeks — hence the delay in posting photos from this year's competition.Rain meant the event had to be postponed from its usual Saturday slot to the Sunday (22 February). It also meant all the chalk markings from a few days before had been washed away, so Ivan and Dave had to get out to the Head early and rush around madly remarking

Apologies to those who visited and wondered about the strange snippets of text scattered among the photos. I wondered too, after returning from a few days in the Ruahine to find that the bulk of the text had seemingly disappeared, leaving only the hyperlinks and photos floating in an inky void.It seems in the last few days the people at Blogger did something which stuffed up text colours on some

The 2008 Baring Head Rock Hop, the second event in the National Bouldering Series, took place on Saturday 23 February. Light drizzle early in the morning eased to warm, overcast weather for the first couple of hours of the competition, then to a hot afternoon with patchy, light cloud — the first photo gives a fair indication of conditions during much of the event.John Palmer won the "Expert Male
