Nature
“A long-dead tree reaches for the heavens atop a ridgeline at 3,500m beside Passu Glacier, Pakistan. A more accurate name would be Thumb Up to the Galaxy but it doesn't sound as nice”
“Overnight bivvy sight below Mt Brewster being blessed by a rainbow.”
“Another Bivvy under the stars so we didn't have to sleep inside a smelly hut”
Action
“Nicks attempt at a reverse Christmas angel”
“Amelia K on Bowen Allen Corner, NZ”
“Mercedes R focusing on the next sequence of moves with the ocean crashing beneath her”
People
“How many engineers does it take to un-bog a car?”
Funny
“Myself (Keith) coming to the realization that the zinc heavy sunscreen does not require the same level of application.”
Club Card
"Portraying the drive of UNSWOC members to always be perusing the next big challenge."
Editor’s Notes
7 photos by Keith Perry, and 4 photos by Brendan Crisp made the top three this year, congratulations!
The following image was entered into the Nature category. I think it would've done super well in the Funny category, and thought it deserved a shoutout 🙂
