Tassie bushwalk to Frenchmans Cap part 2 - 11 Sequence shots

Well while we were at Frenchmans Cap, there were two others there - a couple of climbers. They were doing an ascent of the cliff - the second most difficult route up there, and like only the 3rd or 4th time it had been done (or at least recorded) via this route.
So, having a camera and a tripod and a couple of lenses, this was too good an opportunity to pass up.
Took me a while to find them - panning around with the zoom until I found them.
By the way, it took them 11 and a half hours from bottom to top, and I took their boots to the top for them so they didn't have to come down in their climbers or barefoot.

If you want the best effect here, wait for all eleven to load before viewing, or better still, save locally then view with a slideshow - the camera is in the same place for all eleven photos, just different focal length.
I hope you appreciate these - it took me ages because I'm on pathetic dialup - can't get ADSL here.

One last thing - apologies for the pathetic quality of the 70-300 G kit lens. Donations gratefully accepted of a 70-200VR or Sigma equivalent :lol:

Anyway, here we go...

Yep, thumbs up. They took my wife's Olympus C770 with them - he carried in a 35mm film SLR but was going to leave it in the hut due to weight, so we loaned it to them & sent them a CD each. They could see us and took a photo of us from up there, it's cool too.
It was amazingly still, we could hear them talking as clear as anything, we easily had a conversation with them. I asked them to smile for that last photo.
