It’s calendar competition time again where YOU get the opportunity to appear in climbing:10, my climbing calendar for next year. UKC, www.ukclimbing.com, are sponsoring a page in climbing:10 and the comp winner will be photographed specially for the occasion.

 

Ok, so you’ll need to:

·        be an experienced rock climber capable of leading rock routes of V Diff upwards

·        be available August thru early September for a photo shoot and

·        bring a sac of kit and a mate along to climb with you and encourage you.

 

Here’s what else is on offer…

1.            The comp winner (in addition to appearing in the calendar…) will also get a complementary 18x12” poster print (of a photo of their choice) from the photo shoot as well as a copy of climbing:10

2.            The winner’s mate will get a copy of climbing:10

3.            A selection of images from the day will be published in a gallery on UKClimbing in a write-up of the day as well as being well and truly blogged on KSP

4.            Five further copies of climbing:10, one each for the five runners-up

 

The closing deadline/date is midnight on Friday 31st July 2009 so it’s time to get cracking!

Last year’s winner was Rachael Crewe, a spandex-loving graduate from Nottingham Uni who, along with her partner Chris James, was captured on glorious digital film at both Stoney Middleton and Stanage. It was one heck of a day which started out with hissing rain causing a near apoplectic fit across the team and forcing an extended cafe stay in Outside at Hathersage. Fortunately the land of the eternal sun - a.k.a. Stoney – came up trumps and by mid afternoon we were back in action photographing in sunny spells. By evening the weather had completely flipped and we had a cracking sunset. This year, I’d be quite happy to have beau temps all day thank you!

Good luck and hope to see YOU for the photo shoot…
