Boycott Simon Carter's Calender this Year

[crank_n_up]

A new guide book to the Blue Mountains in Australia has been published recently by Simon Carter's Onsight Photography. Although local developers have clearly expressed their disapproval of publication of certain new cliffs, the editor has published this information. Simon Carter has never bolted a route himself, nor has he ever participated in developing new areas in any other way. He is purely commercially driven, and he refuses to support local cliff maintenance and development from the proceeds of this guide book. Where information about new routes or crags was withheld, Simon Carter invented route names and other details himself, often deriding the climbers who had bolted, cleaned and developed these crags.

Simon Carter's flag-ship product is his climbing calendar.

We therefore ask anyone shopping for climbing calendars this year, please consider buying from a different source. Please do NOT support Simon Carter until he reconsiders his approach with regards to his local crags.
