Thanks for the reminder Nickle-ass...
SICK OF SOME BRIT CRAG ON OUR STARTUP PAGE!!!!
Bring back buck...
How bout some new scenes...all of them!
Good idea. I'm keen to take some photo's, or jack up for one of my photographer mates to get some quality shots. I'd volunteer for to be the subject but apart from been a non-photogenic ugly bugger I'm sure no one wants to look at my unco styles on an easy 21 grade climb. Haha.
Anyone want to volunteer to get their photo taken?

the problem isnt a shortage of photo's it's more that the webmaster lives in canada! Maybe Mikal can help......
I like to see photos of regular people on regular routes, rather than the super stars on some high grade route i'll never be able to climb.

I think a comp is a good idea, though the prize might need to be pepped up a bit :P (are there such a thing as MojoZone stickers?)
Maybe you could accept pics for a set amount of time, and then post them all in a poll thread (I know, everyone just *loves* polls....), where we could all vote on which one(s) we like the best!?
We just need to know what dimensions, resolution, and size is best.

All good, lets do it... anyone keen for putting up a prize?

What is up with Stanage (not Stannage :roll: ) I mean it is the best single pitch trad crag in the world.
And, there is probably more kiwis climbing on it regularly than there is Aucklanders stepping out in the North Island at the moment.
So might as well leave it eh :wink:

That is a pretty myopic view surely - best 1/2 ptch , 1/4 pitch crag in northern England perhaps....

That comment is IRRELEVANT
Someone remind me where we are again?? Do you think we should shove a picture of font on the front - best bouldering (bar the hill of course) in the world....ah NO.
A reminder

Why aren't we promoting NZ Climbing/Bouldering... :roll:
I'm absoultey sure there are a tonne of images, old and new, that "New Zealanders" can chuck at this site. John and the Kopp's site is damn cool.

Cragrat. How can you have a 1/4 or a 1/2 a pitch? I think you might have been thinking of rope length not pitch. A definition of a pitch is from one suitable stance to the next. no mention of rope length.
Using your logic we would have to refer to Paynes Ford as a mainly 1/3 or 1/2 pitch crag.
Also, myopic? Name me a better purely trad (no bolts) single pitch crag than stanage please. :lol:

Exactly why is that comment irrelevant, Climber? It is merely pointing out that Stanage is, very likely, actually relevant to some Kiwi climbers, especially those who venture out on the unbolted grit.
Why pick on that photo when it came from a kiwi on his travels.
If Mojozone is about promoting Kiwi climbing then perhaps we should look at the other pictures aswell.
Lets see.
A picture of half a guy climbing climbing on MT HORRIBLE. Yep that will get the juices flowing
A picture of JP, wrapped up like a polar bear on a link up in a dull, chilly, univiting looking Cave. I can see the world's sport climbers queuing already.
A blurry picture of someone falling down past some rock that looks like it might be limestone but who could really tell.
And lastly, a decent photo of bouldering at Flock Hill.
The last one might stop "joe foreigner" head butting his laptop as he falls asleep or flicking back to google.
Well in conclusion it seems that if NZ's climbers sent in some of their excellent pictures of quality kiwi climbing then you could replace these photos first.
Anyway I'm sure a fair number of people around the world have never heard of Stanage and might actually think it is in NZ. So it is promoting Kiwi climbing after all!! :wink:

My mistake.Let me see well I would start with Pembroke since we are in the UK. Leaves Stanage for dead in terms of quality lines and still meets teh qualification of trad.
Joshua Tree? - depends if you see it as an area or a crag

Sure Pembroke is a really awesome area.
But
it is a county, not a crag and covers miles of seacliff and dozens of separate crags.
Bit like putting all the Peak District grit together and calling that one crag. Now that is a thought, what an awesome crag that would be.
Also one of the things about Stanage is it's wide range and style of routes from Moderate (<10) to E8 (quite hard). Pembroke doesn't cater well at the easier end of the grades.
J Tree has bolted routes. So excluded.

You go a way for a week and look what happens...
To be honest I love Stanage...it's a great place, I've been chucked off all sorts of stuff there, but even I have to admit it doesn't really fit the bill when Mojo is a New Zealand site promoting climbing in this far flung land...
The photo's do indeed need updating and I for one would love to see more from around the country...but if anyone's listening...include some Bouldering shots!!!

Or at least have the first picture that pops up of a New Zealand crag. It could almost be lableed false advertising.
Dont get me wrong that it is indeed an all inspiring picture that deserves a lot of credit but should be of a crag form the our very own land.
What about setting up a gallery with New Zealand photos and having a section for Kiwi's pictures from far away journeys in other lands ohter than our own
