Can´t believe it!

Voted 10/10

That gendarme looks strange. Sure it´s not made of plastic? Great shot by the way.

	Voted 10/10	Ha - I just bet this was photographed in a studio with a backdrop and some fake snow Seriously, I wonder how difficult it would be to climb the thing?

	Hasn't voted	i cant say... 5.9 is my guess. maybe it can climbed like the Milkbottle by slinging a rope up and over its crown... funny... now that would be almost a cool as your snowball bouldering! d

look easy to climb .. to me at least.. I climb 5.12 and I would say it looks like a crazily exposed 5.8 to me. Might be scary because the holds seem to slope down alot making the climber rely on friction..
