The research of Timothy J. Nelson, M.D., Ph.D., focuses on cardiovascular regeneration using bioengineered stem cells. His work is directed at improving scientists' ability to discover, diagnose and ultimately treat mechanisms of degenerative diseases such as cardiomyopathy that weaken the heart muscle and lead to progressive heart failure.
Specifically, Dr. Nelson's research team starts with skin samples from patients with severe forms of heart disease and generates induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to create a model system for that patient in the laboratory. They examine the differences between samples obtained from patients with heart disease and family members without heart disease to determine the molecular underpinning of a particular disease. The goal of this research is to identify better ways to predict the onset and progression of that disease in the laboratory without the need for probing the patient beyond the initial tissue collection.
Additionally, Dr. Nelson works to expand understanding of diseases in bioengineered cell culture systems with next-generation sequencing platforms that enable innovative collaborations to better define associations between certain genotypes and phenotypes.
Current projects include:
Ultimately, the research of Dr. Nelson's team will advance stem cells beyond scientific discovery to help translate the technology into clinical applications and alleviate the ever-growing burden of degenerative diseases that currently require organ transplantation.

Barrier Buttress
Barrier has a string of classic trad routes with easy access from a good path which is shared with Volken Buttress. The climbing is on good rock and a generally moderate grade. The crag is great because it has a reasonably short walk in for the Apostles (less than an hour), and generally good rock. Currently (2014) there is a guide book out for the buttress within "Cape Peninsula Select", however that guide is not as comprehensive as this one.
Lower Barrier
Below the main buttress, on the bottom left is a crag of brown rock, with a steep section on the left. This is the Confetti Crag.
The topo and descriptions for Confetti crag can be downloaded here:
Upper Barrier
From Camps Bay Drive take Fiskaal Road as it zigzags up the hill side (becoming Francolin then finally Theresa Ave). Park more or less at the apex of the road where ones finds a short dead end road with a boom. Walk from here on the concrete road as it zigzags then take a left path as if towards Kasteel Poort. Where the Kasteel Poort path cuts a prominent stream bed turn left, following the bed steeply up for a while until a left path is found. Taking this path you are at the base of Valken Buttress, continue along that path takes you past a perennial waterfall to the base of Barrier.
By far the easiest descent is to walk town the ravine between Barrier and Valken and take the single pitch abseil to the base (less than 25m). Walking up and over to join the path down Kasteel is a big shlep, and not recommended.
Barrier North Side *(D or 8) G.F. Travers-Jackson(solo) 1901 Too Much Traversing at Start Traverse, at the highest line across to the left-had side of the buttress, which takes you past routes that start on the front. Continue past the start of Snakes and Ladders and Ludo into a cave like walk that becomes a dassie traverse on large blocks. At the farthest end, almost in the ravine between Jubilee and Barrier Buttresses it is possible to climb on easy rock. Hereafter the north side if the buttress is followed on "go as you please" manner to the top.
Ludo * (F2 or 15) P.D Attenborough and M Scott 1972 "A difficult crux mars a pleasant route"
The route starts to the left of Snakes and Ladders at the start of the "dassie" Traverse on Barrier North side Route. Pitch 1. Climb the break which ends in an awkward pull-up on the right hand corner,a bit further,
Pitch 2. Climb up a steep rib which finishes on the big slope.
Pitch 3. Straight ahead is a black streaked face in among the overhangs, to the left of Snakes and Ladders (which takes a traverse line to the right). Delightful "D" climbing moving more or less out to the right at the overhangs finishes the route.
Snakes and Ladders*** (E2 or 10) J. De V Graaf, B.M Quail and C. Inglis 1954 A pleasant if somewhat disjointed route up the north side of Barrier. Start at a large triangular block about 6m left of Barrier Pinnacle
Pitch 1. (10) climb the crack on the left side of the block to a stance on top. hand traverse left for a few meters below a chimney/crack.
Pitch 2. (10) Climb the vertical chimney from the right-hand corner of the stance, traversing out left at the top. Scramble 30m in the direction of 11 o'clock to a pitch about 40m to the left of a prominent pinnacle.
Pitch 3. (8) From the level of the top of the pinnacle, traverse right for about 7m along a narrow ledge, then up 6m to a platform. move right into a crack which leads to a stance at the top of a prominent nose.
Pitch 4. (8) Climb the face behind the nose, moving diagonally right. turn a corner to gain a narrow ledge above
Pitch 5. (8) Traverse 7m along the ledge to a vertical fault in the final wall (facing Porcupine Buttress). Climb on the right side of the fault to the top.
Notes: there is a direct variation for the the first 3 pitches: pull up into a brown face and climb to a good hand-rail which enables you to do a strenuous and exposed hand swing (13) left to the base of a vertical, open chimney
Barrier Crag (F2 or 16) A.B. Berrisford, R.J. Johnson and A.j. Singer 1927 A Rather obscure climb. with careful searching there are cairns and beacons for it.
Pitch 1. (F2 or 16)The route starts 6m Left of Barrier Pinnacle, atop a large triangular block. from the top of the block climb straight up a square gap between two huge blocks until under the overhangs. Steep climbing leads out onto the face on the left where one leaves a good grip for a very high stretch to a poor lay-back edge. Continue up to the ledge above.
Pitch 2. (E2 or 12)Scramble up diagonally right until the level of the broken ledge on which the prominent pinnacle on the crest of the buttress stands. About 15m left of the pinnacle, at the foot of a steep slanting ramp the next beacon will be found. Follow a straight line up a rib to the left of the ramp which belongs to Walk Over
Walk Over *** (F2 or 16) K. D Fletcher and R. Williams 1966 A fair route which slips between Barrier Pinnacle and Barrier Crag Start: up the over hanging corner left of Barrier Pinnacle
Pitch 1. (14) Climb up the corner until it is possible to traverse left on slanting hand grips to a semi-detached block. Climb the Block, stepping off and traversing right to stance shared with Pinnacle.
Pitch 2. (13) Move around the bulging corner, using good grips in a recess to reach a hidden flake, and continue up to a good stance or continue up a brown recess, traversing left under a overhang to exit up a corner to a broad ledge.
Pitch 3. (16) Lay-back up the right-side of a ramp until forced to traverse left onto the ramp. Continue up to a small one-man stance below an overhang on the right. Continue using a series of pull-ups, move left and up through the overhang. climb the block to a good stance.
Pitch 4. (13) Step across onto the face, then traverse left round a corner and up to a good stance below a black crack. climb the crack to the top.
Barrier Pinnacle **** (F3 or 17)' R. Burton, J. Davis, P. O' Neil, L. Schaf, O. Shipley 1947 Great route with some fine climbing which starts about 6m of a large triangular boulder, and 6m left of Barrier Sandwich.
Pitch 1. (16) Climb the brown face for 4m, then traverse 2m left and up a to a roomy, cave like stance, on poor rock. Traverse right for 3m then climb a recess above, moving right to stance at the top.
Pitch 2. (13) Climb the bushy fault and step right to a bushed up ledge. Climb a series of lareg steps, which leads to an obvious traverse to the left for 5m, ending on a broad ledge.
Pitch 3. (16) A Pinnacle- from which the route gets its name- may bee seen in profile about 15m right. climb up behind the pinnacle and emerge on its right, before continuing up a vertical fault above to another 15m. Move out left to a good ledge some 7m above.
Pitch 4. (17) Climb diagonally up to the right to the foot of a vertical fault and lay-back to a stance. continue up excellent holds to the top.
Barrier Sandwich *** (F3 or 18) H, Graafland. H Snijders 1960 A Pile of good pitches that is slightly ,arred by a bushy 2nd pitch. Do not underestimate the first pitch.
Start about 12m left of Barrier Frontal, up a left facing corner capped by a roof.
Pitch 1 (18)Climb the recess for about 5m, then traverse right across the vertical wall to the corner. Pull through an overlap, to beneath the next roof, and move left and up a recess on a higher ledge (awkward). continue up the recess to the ceiling, then traverse right around the corner to a small ledge and move up to a bigger ledge. Climb the face above the left-hand edge of the ledge, then traverse 2m left into a shallow recess (with a bush) to another ledge.
Pitch 2. (8)Traverse to the right along a narrow, bushy ledge until you reach a stance at the top of the first pitch of Barrier Frontal.
Pitch 3. (16) From the blocks, climb on good holds past some steep flake moves to reach a stance in a deep fissure. Climb the fissure for about 1m then traverse out to the right for about 3m to the obvious break.Using a yellow sandy-looking projection move up to the right for 2m then sing up to the square stance to the right of the overhang.
Pitch 4. (16) Traverse Right, along reddish ledge for 5m until a flake lying flush with the face is reached.Using the flake swing up and continue climbing to the stance, bypassing the small overhang on the right. climb the obvious recess (shared with Frontal) and exit to the right to reach a ledge level with the 2 fixed pitons and horseshoe on Frontal.
Pitch 5. (16) Climb up for 3m, the move diagonally left to the hanging recess and up this to the top.
Persona Non Grata ***(21) FA T Dick, D Cheesmond FFA A de Klerk, R Hess 1981 A Direct line up the clean top faces between Barrier and Walk Over. Start from the right hand side of the light grey face about 10m right of Sandwich, or just left of the scramble to the base of Frontal.
Pitch 1. (21) Reach the handrail and traverse left to a tiny ledge just before the corner that overlooks Sandwich. Climb the steep crack above.
Pitch 2. (21) Climb the crack about 3m to the right, through a bulge in the red rock. Continue via a series of tricky moves up the outside of the pinnacle, climbing the final block to the left.
Pitch 3. (19) From the top of the block lying on the left of the crack of Barrier Pinnacle, reach height for a jug and pull-up leftwards into a shallow recess. Continue to the roof, then move left until the roof ends.An awkward pull-up leads to a stance above the roof.
Pitch 4. (16) Climb straight up, then diagonally left to a narrow ledge at the left end of the face.
Pitch 5. (17) Traverse 8m right along a rail, then climb up in line with the stance above with 3, through steep rock on in-cut holds. Continue past a ledge up short rock bands to the top.
There is a grade 17 variation mixing both Frontal and Sandwich where one takes the first pitch of Frontal, but instead of traversing right on the 2nd pitch of Frontal continue straight up a red/orange and heavily featured crack until one joins the 3rd pitch of Sandwich. Stay with Sandwich until it starts the right traverses on the 4th Pitch. The route takes the clean white/gray face dominated by 2 cracks beneath an overlap, reach the overlap and traverse left to a stance. Take the weathered crack above straight to the top, passing a large ledge exited through a left facing feature then another weathered crack to the top. this is a 2 pitch variation, stancing as Sandwich traverses right on its' 4th pitch. Because this is only a two pitch route it can be quickly done.
Barrier Reef (20) ****
R. Halsey, M. Thilo 2014
A direct line, combining Frontal and Sandwich
Pitch 1. (17) Climb pitch 1 of the Frontal, and continue straight to join Sandwich and stance at the ledge.
Pitch 2. (20) Climb straight up a crack system to an overlap. Where another link-up traverses left, pull through the overlap and continue dead straight up a steep face to the top of the buttress.
Barrier Frontal (14) **** J.W Fraser, F. Humphries, K. White 1917 One of the Peninsular's classics. Scramble up some easy cracks to the left of a crest of the buttress to gain a small tree at the base of a crack.
Pitch 1. (13) Climb the crack type fault to reach a ledge. traverse right around a the corner and up to a short right-angled corner. Climb this, then an awkward move to a stance.
Pitch 2. (12) Move right and climb the brown corner to the ledge above. Traverse right along the ledge all the way to the end of the ledge, then step up around the corner and further right to stance on a large rectangular block beneath an overhang.
Pitch 3. (13) Step off the block up to the roof. traverse right and through an awkward step up to clear the right side of the roof. Climb straight up the corner to the ledge.
Pitch 4. (11) Traverse across the ledge to the left to reach a flaky break. climb this, before moving right to belay at the end of the ledge on an old fixed pin.
Pitch 5. (13) Step Down, then traverse right ( past some old pegs and horseshoe) to gain the flat white face above. climb this ( the Soup Plate) to a narrow ledge. Traverse right and do a wide step-across ( the Donkey Ride) to gain the continuation of the ledge, and a stance.
Pitch 6. (14) From the right of the ledge, climb the fault to gain a ledge beneath a bulging face. climb the for a few moves, then move diagonally right to the corner on good holds. climb up this to a ledge, then a stance above before scrambling to the top.
Note: the original route took the Shaly crack on pitch 4 directly above the stance- climb the obvious lay-back crack that leads directly up to the "Soup Plate"
Barrier Bones ** (F3 or 17) R. Williams and A Chinery You will need to know the adjacent routes to follow this line. Start 6m left of Barrier Enterprise.
Pitch 1. 15m (F2 or 15) climb up the vertical flake 6m left of Barrier Enterprise, and continue up a bulging face into a recess which is ascended to a ledge.
Pitch 2. 10m (E3 or 10) Traverse to the right and stand on a flake to ascend the face, and move out left to stance
Pitch 3. 18m (F2) Climb the white face behind to the ledge above. (Barrier Frontal traverses right here)
Pitch 4. 22m (F1 or 13) Almost behind the last pitch climb up the overhanging face, starting at the corner to the right. This ends below the shaly crack of Barrier Frontal
Pitch 5. 9m (F2 or 14) Climb the sloping white ramp to the left of the shally crack to share a stance with Frontal and Sandwich.
Pitch 6. 21m (F2 or 14) Climb the left of two cracks straight above dark rocks with horrible flakes at the start- and traverse left under overhangs to a stance at the top of a lay-back crack on Pinnacle. The crux is the pull up at the end on blocks that look loose, but are part of the mountain.
Pitch 7. 34m (F2 or 14) Climb up immediately above the ledge via an awkward mantle shelf. continue up to a small overhang, traverse right and then up diagonally to a break in the next overhang. the route finishes on the crest of the buttress.
Barrier Enterprise ** F3 or 17 R Bailie, J Goedknegt, R Reinecke, H Sni.iders. Poor rock in several places distracts from the enjoyment of this route. The route begins on a prominent red face right of Barrier Frontal (the obvious face)
Pitch 1. 18m (F3 or 17) Climb the red crack, then move to the left to avoid the first overhang. Climb up to the second overhang and continue through a gap on the right, to a small platform. A short crack leads to a stance.
Pitch 2. 12m (F2 or 15) Climb a short, red wall above the first pitch to a handrail under the overhang. Traverse to the right, then climb up to a stance at the foot of a broken recess.
Pitch 3. 12m (F1 or 14) climb the right hand wall of the recess to a ledge, with several big blocks, under the "Elbow Traverse" on Barrier Frontal.
Pitch 4. 4m (F2 or 15) Stand on he right of three blocks to pull up to a stance shared with Frontal.
Pitch 5. 11m (F3 or 17) Climb a thin crack in the right hand wall of the recess which is used by Frontal. Move 3m up to a handrail, traverse to the right, then climb a shallow recess to a dassie ledge under an overhang.
Pitch 6. 9m (F2 or 15) Climb through a gap to the left of the stance, move 3m up to a sketchy handrail, then traverse to the right on a corner formed by a broken rib. Climb the rib to a ledge.
Pitch 7. 9m (E1 or 10) Traverse 3m right, then climb up the right handed edge of a white recess. Move Diagonally right to stance.
Pitch 8. 15m (F1 or 14) Climb diagonally right onto an exposed nose. Climb the broken recess to the top of the buttress.
Barrier Edge **** F1 or 14 LD Schaff, O Shipley, J Davis 1947 Another moderate route well worth doing. For the most part the line takes the vague arrete. The route was originally done in 7 pitches, and so the modern version is described below.
Start: The line basically starts on the right corner of the front face of the buttress, but to get there traverse right around the corner, scramble up a short corner to an earth platform with a large tree. this is Just right of the prominent red face where Enterprise starts.
Pitch 1. 18m (13) Climb the recess to the overhang, then move left onto a sitting ledge, which narrows as it runs out onto a jutting nose. Move around the nose, then up to a good stance.
Pitch 2. 25m (14) Move 3m left to a sharp-edged boulder. Move up a meter, then back right and up an obvious fault that runs left to a stance.
Pitch 3. 18m (12) Move slightly right and up to skirt the overhang, then traverse 5m right and up a gap between two blocks. Traverse about 12m right along a wide ledge to a stance at the end.
Pitch 4. 22m (14) Climb the recessed face for 2m, then traverse right around the exposed corner. Move up via some mantelshelf moves on a narrow ledge. Climb the obvious chimney up and right.
Barrier Corner * (E2 or 11) E. Berrisford, R.C.F. Burton, C. Catell, W.H. Crump, I. Swan, C.A. Smith, S. Rose 1933
Start Traverse about 16m past the Barrier Pool [ the waterfall I think] to a beacon which denotes the start. about 2m left of a Hottentots Cherry Tree.
Pitch 1. 12m (E2 or 11) Traverse Diagonally right and up a meter or so past a loose white block, and up a white recess (with a flake in the back of it) to a ledge under a brown face. wriggle up behind a large block on the right to a stance.
Pitch 2. 18m (E2 or 11) Move to the left for 4m to a recess, the left wall of which is white, the right brown. Ascend the recess. Take a 6m right dassie traverse to a stance.
Pitch 3. 60m G4 (this "G4" is verbatim out of the 1978 MCSA guide, I assume it is a typo rather than a grade 24 pitch!) Continue to the right along this ledge, which eventually becomes a dassie crawl again, right across the souht side of the buttress. The Exit from the traverse needs care if its wet.
Pitch 4. 3m (D or 9) Ascend a short black crack immediately above the end of the dassie crawl.
Pitch 5. 60m (C or 8) Pleasant scrambling up minor cracks, faces and recesses, following the most direct line of least resistance.
Pitch 6. 10m (E1 or 10) A start is made in the corner of a broken overhanging recess. climb out right onto a face and up.
Pitch 7. 10m (C or 8) Ascend a bush V-shaped chimney directly above the last pitch.
Pitch 8. 11m (B or 7) Scramble diagonally to the right over a number of large blocks to the foot of a wide grassy gully.
Pitch 9. 10m (B or 7) Climb the gully, exit to the right at the top, and continue to the top of the buttress.
Dingaka F2 or 15
T. Dunsby, M. Scott. J. Watson, G. Young
This route is for those that know the buttress well as it cuts through routes like Edge regularly
Start: same starting point as Barrier Edge at the earth stance
Pitch 1. 10m (F2 or 15) climb the middle crack and dassie traverse to the left to share a stance with Edge.
Pitch 2. 10m (F1 or 14) Ascend behind the ledge avoiding the easy bits which belong to Edge. Swing to the left, using a block to get to the ledge shared with Enterprise.
Pitch 3. 10m (F1 or 14) Pull up onto a white face on the right of the easy Enterprise recess using a small hole and some fingery grips. Move diagonally right into the gully Edge uses.
Pitch 4. 10m (E2 or 12) Step right, Crossing Edge and meander through "Vygies" on the wall to end on the ledge to the right to a pronounced block with a cleft in it. The Edge crosses here again.
Pitch 5. 12m (F2 or 15) Pull up onto the wall under the long overhang. traverse right to the corner, using suspicious looking flakes, until it reaches the recess where the crux of Edge starts. Continue up the corner then step across the top of a recess onto a ledge below the layback crack which leads to a dassie traverse used by Edge ( which comes from the right). Step to the right (crossing Edge) then mantelshelf up to a stance.
Pitch 6. 12m (F2 or 15) Climb the steep brown face above to stance beneath the overhangs. (The Edge, which was crossed again at the stance uses the easy chimney on the right.
Pitch7. 3m (F1 or 14) Straddle around the bulge on the right, then scramble to the top.
Barrier South Face
This face has 3 features: 1. A vague left hand arette (which must be scrambled around to approach the west face), 2. A water drip more or less in the middle in a large crack partially hidden by a tree 3. A left facing vague corner that ends in the black streaky face of the perennial water fall (Just right of which is abseiled down in the descent). Being South Facing it sees much less sun
Thirty-Nine Steps J Easton, B.P. M. Fletcher, T. Fraser, R. Fox, A. Gruft 1953 A good route "The crux still, on occasions providing interest for spectators" Start:"The climb starts about the center of the right-hand wall of Barrier Buttress, from thee ledge which runs below the pool in the corner, and about 18m to its left." I think this means it starts between Edge and Fingertip, somewhere.
Pitch 1. 25m (E2 or 12) Starting behind the center of three evenly spaced cherry trees, climb two 3m steps, then traverse left for 7m round a prominent flake, and continue up a fault for 15m to the scramble to Edge. This pitch is often bypassed.
Pitch 2. 6m (D or 10) Walk right along the ledge and them climb up the right and to a large stance with a big tree. This pitch is shared with Edge, and requires care as it is exposed and has resulted in fatalities in the past.
Pitch 3. 10m (F3 or 18) The Crucifix pitch: Climb the open book for about 3m before moving right from under the overhand onto the face. Them move up the central, vertical crack to a small secure stance.
Pitch 4. 8m (F1 or 16) Dassie traverse right until forces out. Move round a smooth section to a good stance.
Pitch 5. 25m (F1 or 16) Starting in a crack climb the face diagonally right to a small ledge on the right of the overhang (tricky).
Pitch 6. 12m (F1 or 16) Move down and traverse left under the overhangs. Swing up into a dassie crawl which takes you 9m left to a stance.
Pitch 7. 25m (F2 or 17) From the stance climb a tricky face for about 5m, then head right around the corner, traversing out left to join a broad, ledge which you stroll along to the crux of Edge about 10m right.
Pitch 8. 11m (E3 or 15) About 5m round the corner from the crux from Edge a short lay-back crack turns an overhang. Follow the crack for 4 or 5m then traverse 6m right and move up to a bushy stance.
Pitch 9. 25m (E1 or 13) The line of least resistance is how followed, Moving diagonally right to the top of the buttress.
Fingertip Face G1 or 19 A good route on the South Face with a fine handrail Start: About 8m right of the water drip. Pitch 1. 16m (10) Move diagonally left for 8m, then negotiate a dassie traverse for another 8m to the base of a shallow, Y Shaped crack on a brown face.
Pitch 2. 22m (17) Climb the Y-Shaped crack for 4m, then traverse right towards and then onto a loose-looking block. Move diagonally right to the right hand corner of the face ( above the water drip). Climb the easy recess to the broad ledge above. Walk right for 9m to the base of a recessed corner.
Pitch 3. 20m (19) Climb the recess to a small overhang, move 1m left, then pull though the small roof to a rest. Climb the corner above on fingertip lay-backs to the overhang above. Rail 7m left & up to a comfortable stance.
Pitch 4. 15m (14) Climb up and right onto the obvious protruding flake beneath the roof. "Turn the overhang" and up 3m before traversing left to a 7m face to a stance.
Pitch 5. 25m (16) After an awkward start, climb the face diagonally left for 10m to a small ledge. Continue up, trending left to reach the ledge beneath the final pitch or Edge. Take Edge to the top:
Pitch 6. 22m (14) Climb the recessed face for 2m, then traverse right around the exposed corner. Move up via some mantelshelf moves on a narrow ledge. Climb the obvious chimney up and right.
notes It is recommended to traverse diagonally left to join Edge at the end of pitch 4.
Hang Ten ** F3 or 18 B.P.M. Fletcher, K. Fletcher and R. Williams 1967 "Another hard, sustained route on the south Face. The name is derived from the 10 pitches, all of which contain an overhanging section." Start: the route starts up the brown face 1m right of Fingertip face
Pitch 1. 15m (E3 or 14) Ascend the brown face for about 8m. Dassie crawl to the left to reach a prominent recess.
Pitch 2. 15m (F3 or 18) Ascend a shallow recess to the left to reach a sharp recess capped by an overhang. reach over the overhang before swinging out slightly left and the up to the stance above ( on Fingertip).
Pitch 3. 9m (F2 or 16) Traverse 4m right ( as for Fingertip Face) and climb a bulging face until its possible to traverse to the right on a good foot-rail to stance around the corner.
Pitch 4. 18m (F2 or 17) Swing down to the right until its possible to move to a recess. climb the recess until one is forced to traverse left across a face to a small stance overlooking the crux pitch of Fingertip.
Pitch 5. 9m (F3 or 18) Swing over the edge of the stance "with the legs hanging free". Maneuver to reach a small foot rail on the left. A few delicate moves enable one to traverse left to a small foot grip. Pull up and move left through a recess to a good stance.
Pitch 6. 22m (F2 or 17) Move to the left and step down to a lower stance. traverse to the left and continue up onto a large semi-detached block. Climb up above this block to a handrail below an overhang, then traverse left until a short hand-traverse enables one to gain a stance ( shared with both Fingertip Face and 39 Steps).
Pitch 7. 11m (F3 or 18) Move into the recess to the right of the stance, Pull up to a handrail running right. Traverse to the corner, then move up on a series of loose flakes to a one man stance.
Pitch 8. 11m (F3 or 18) Descend a meter and stand on the top of the last flake of the previous pitch. Traverse right using a handswing, and move up to a climbers friend bush. Traverse right under the overhang, before pulling through the overhang. Traverse right and ascend a short recess to a good stance.
Pitch 9. 11m (F3 or 18) Scramble up a short section above and traverse right along a bushy stance to a large block. Stand on the block before taking a tricky move on the face above. Traverse right and continue up to a stance below a large tress in the recess.
Pitch 10. 12m (E3 or 14) Climb up the overhanging rib on good holds to the summit.
Wingding R. Behne, M. Scott A Good clean steep route, which latches onto the top sections of Fingertip and Edge. Start: about 5m right of Fingertip or 4m right of Hang Ten, beneath a steep recess with a small roof halfway up.
Pitch 1. 30m (20) climb the recess with a few awkward and strenuous moves to turn the little overhangs. Stance on a good ledge.
Pitch 2. 25m (20) Start round to the left, up a flaky face right of Fingertip to a ledge. Move around to the left into a recess. Climb this, breaking out left at the top to a stance above an overhang which overlooks Fingertips crux.
Pitch 3. 25m (16) Move left through a corner onto a face with a detached block. climb to the roof, an traverse left to a stance beneath a corner (this pitch is shared with Hang ten.
Pitch 4. 22m (14) Climb the recessed face for 2m, then traverse right around the exposed corner. Move up via some mantelshelf moves on a narrow ledge. Climb the obvious chimney up and right. This is the last pitch of Edge
Barrier Ravine * F1 or 13 P.H Andrew and J. W. Fraser "Seldom climbed and understandably so" Start:on the left hand side of the black streaked waterfall and under the overhangs just before a "vicious peeling crack of horrible flakes"
Pitch 1. (F1 or 13) Climb up a crack to under the overhang, then traverse right with a few odd reaches until on a big ledge.
Pitch 2. Move over a large block on the corner, around to the right. climb the cracks you normally abseil down.
Barrier Hatchet ** F2 or 15

When Municipal Housing Secretary Jorge Bittar first arrived in the favela, or slum, of Vila Autódromo in Brazil last October, he told residents their homes were slated for eviction. He offered them houses in five-story apartment buildings with barbecue pits and leisure areas to be built a few miles away – not a hazardous terrain already condemned at risk for mudslides by Rio's geography department.
The shabby working class neighborhood, which sits on the edge of a lagoon and a worn out racetrack, far from Rio de Janeiro's posh beachside neighborhoods was needed for the Olympic Park, Mr. Bittar said, which popular former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva promised the international community he would construct (link in Portuguese).
Since the announcement that Rio de Janeiro won the bid to host the 2016 Olympics, the community has heard a series of reasons why they would be evicted and their legal rights to the land voided. First, it was that their neighborhood would be the Olympic Park's media center, then, they were told, their land was to be part of a projected "security perimeter" for the games. Next, the reasoning they needed to leave became that they were living in an environmental protection area, and finally that the neighborhood was in a high risk zone for extreme weather. No matter that the community, like many in Latin American cities, was founded nearly half a century ago by squatters.
By Monday when the city government held the public bid for Rio's estimated $812 million Olympic park, the judge – who had initially barred the bid until the community and Rio officials found a mutually agreeable solution – had reversed her ban. She accepted the city's newest petition, complete with it's newest reason for displacing residents. The community's removal was not necessary for the Olympic park any longer, but instead was needed for a related highway project. The new highway would have its "projected paths passing through parts" of Vila Autódromo.
"The use of [existing highways] would avert the construction of new hotels and the growth of the tourism industry, which would be one more missed opportunity for the city," the municipality wrote to the judge, highlighting the need for new highways.
But skeptical residents and observers doubt the highways will materialize on Vila Autódromo's lagoon-bordering land. "We know perfectly well it is because they want the Olympic Park and other enterprises," said Eliomar Coelho, a city councilmen leading the opposition to the community's removal.
"They alleged that our removal from here is because we cause environmental damage," says Inalva Mendes Brito, a public school teacher and Vila Autódromo resident resisting eviction. "And so, you're going to put in a highway?" asks Ms. Brito, after waiting through the hours-long public bidding ceremony in order to raise her protest banner in the small city office.
Even though the winning design plan for the Olympic park promotes mixed economic use of the area, and would keep the community where it is, the Rio city government has led the call for eviction.
"What they [the Rio city government] want to do is create an environment for the upper middle class," says Mr. Coelho.
The government wants to assure public-private partnership (PPP) investors that the area will be a wealthy neighborhood once the Olympic games are complete, Coelho says, reserved for shopping malls and condos.
The government created a PPP to develop the Olympic park in order to minimize how much the government has to invest in the Olympic infrastructure. It also allows private developers to build commercial and residential units after the games.
Rio officials argue they can offer residents a better relocation option (remember those barbecue pits and leisure areas?) than their current neighborhood. But a recent local media report showed that the land promised for the new housing project was going to be purchased from two of Mayor Eduardo Paes' campaign donors, for an elevated price and without public bidding.
The city quickly suspended the purchase after this news broke, but the government is still pushing to relocate residents to this new land.
In another dramatic turn, Councilman Coelho's office filed a petition arguing that the new resettlement plot is an area of environmental hazard itself already condemned by the government's geography service as a risk area for mudslides (link in Portuguese).
The city government came to Vila Autódromo with a table of prices they would offer to homeowners, and characterized the buyout as a "friendly" one in which both sides were willing and could negotiate the price. In an "unfriendly" buyout, the city government would be legally obliged to have an independent consultant determine the house's price, which critics say would be higher than the ones currently offered by the government.
The president of Carvalho Hosken Construction, one of three companies that were chosen for the PPP, said after the Monday bid that Vila Autódromo's home titles may not be respected.
"Everything was done in an environmental protection area," says Carlos Fernando de Carvalho, discrediting the validity of the home titles granted by the state government about two decades ago and echoing the city government's arguments that the titles were awarded by a "squatter-friendly" administration. In its petition to overturn the judge's barring of the bid, the city government alleged the state government had granted those titles in a "pro-invader" political climate that gave squatters a sense of impunity and false entitlement to the land.
"It was all done in an unregulated way," said Mr. de Carvalho.

Question Description
I'm trying to learn for my class and I'm stuck. Can you help?
Name some of the Best Hotels and Restaurants in London where a person can Stay during Vacations.
Final Answer
Andaz Liverpool Street
Liverpool Street, EC2(020 7961 1234)
The first hotel in the City's Square Mile is ideal for businessmen, but also frequented by trendsetters from neighbouring Hoxton and Shoreditch. The 267 rooms come in all shapes and sizes (some with high ceilings and mouldings, others more attic-like with porthole windows) and the furnishings are uniformly sleek. Price rating: 5/5
25 Courtfield Gardens SW5(0207 244 2255)
The Kensington address, the grand, white façade, the black-and-cream reception with a lone sculptural flower, everything points to a classic boutique hotel. Except there's no bar, restaurant or gym, and a double room costs under £100. This new-concept hotel provides stylish, streamlined accommodation for the iPod-laptop-Blackberry brigade, two steps from Earl's Court tube and only a few more from the V & A. The 67 bedrooms have chocolate-brown carpets, photographic prints by Peter Lavery, oversized showers and lots of handy sockets (including a European one) for recharging all those gadgets. Large flat-screen TVs access 30 films at £2.95 a go and broadband costs £2.95 per hour. There are also vending machines selling Evian, in-room kitchenettes with fridges and microwaves, and directories listing nearby services. Price rating: 2/5
B+B Belgravia
64-66 Ebury Street, SW1(020 7259 8570)
Winner of a Visit London Award for two years running, this Georgian townhouse B&B is a good substitute for anyone who has dreamed of having a pied-à-terre in residential Belgravia, near the quirky fashion boutiques of Elizabeth Street and Victoria station. Opened in 2004, it is run by the B+B Collection, a consortium of hoteliers with plans to open more B&Bs in the UK. Rooms have flat-screen TVs, phone cards (allowing guests to make calls at standard rates) and free Internet. Interiors are fresh and contemporary (black and white in the living room; earthy tones in the smallish bedrooms). Commendably, none of the homeliness of the traditional B&B has been sacrificed: breakfast is a hearty Continental or full English, cooked to order. Price rating: 3/5
20 Chesham Place, London, SW1X 8HQ(020 7858 0100)
Thompson Hotels (the group behind 60 Thompson and Smythe Tribeca in New York) has just opened its first hotel outside the USA, in Belgravia. The 86-room Belgraves, all velvets and vintage furniture, will have a restaurant by Mark Hix. Price rating: 4/5
Browns Hotel
Brown's Hotel, 33 Albemarle Street, London W1(0207 493 6020)
Located in the heart of Mayfair, Brown's Hotel reclaimed its position as London's grande-dame hotel when it opened in 2005 following a £24-million refurbishment. Former guests Rudyard Kipling, Haile Selassie and Agatha Christie would hardly recognise their old quarters: designer (and Rocco Forte's sister) Olga Polizzi has spruced up acres of original oak panelling, wrought-iron banisters and stained-glass windows, and updated rooms with banquettes, limestone bathrooms and prints by British artists such as Bridget Riley. The hotel has 117 individually designed rooms, including 29 suites, all furnished with contemporary art and antiques. Facilities include three spa treatment rooms and a gym.

Duke's Hotel is located in a hidden courtyard off St James's Street. The service is traditional and pleasant - expect deferential butlers, maids and valets to tend to your every need. Some rooms overlook St James's Place, but book the penthouse for the ultimate, royal views: Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Spencer House.

The service is willing to go that extra mile, from preparing a private meal for two in the gardens of Cadogan Square to setting up cooking lessons with the chef. Featured in the Gold List 2011.
K West Hotel & Spa
Richmond Way, W14(020 8008 6600)
'South Beach meets East Village', as the website has it, it is not. The former BBC office is rather soulless, despite the striking glass façade and open-plan lobby-bar; and the Shepherd's Bush location feels out of the way, although it's not bad for Notting Hill. However, K West does have an excellent gym and spa (with ESPA and Thai-based Ytsara treatments). It also has an overall feeling of hipness that derives in part from design details (such as fluorescent strips in the corridor) and in part from its steady stream of visiting musicians, including Pink and Franz Ferdinand. Opened in 2001, K West has won plaudits for minimalist style at minimal prices. The 220 rooms, in taupe, brown and cream, stainless steel and glass, include 99 executive rooms with Philippe Starck baths, flat-screen TVs, DVD players and Wi-Fi (at £10 per day). The best are the six 592sq ft K Suites, which come with 37in Bose 'cinema' screens and double baths. Kanteen restaurant is open from early morning to 10.30pm. Price rating: 4/5

Renovated and refurbished by Langham Hotels International, the hotel has 427 rooms and suites, a bar, Chinese-inspired Chuan spa and a selection of fine gourmet restaurants. The David Collins-designed Artesian bar (named after the artesian well beneath the bar, which dates back to the hotel's Victorian heyday) combines chinoiserie and Victoriana, brought up to date with timber chandeliers, imitation rattlesnake-leather flooring and resin table tops with a lilac-butterfly motif. The Langham houses one of the most luxurious and expensive suite in London, the 236 sq metre Infinity Suite, decorated in purple, gold and chocolate, which is the work of RPW Design, of Ritz-Carlton and Gleneagles renown. The suite comes with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two butlers. Specially commissioned contemporary art adorns its walls and a car and driver are available for three hours a day. london.langhamhotels.co.uk/

The hotel has smart, minimalist rooms, a gym, Shambhala treatment rooms and extensive business facilities. Price rating: 5/5
Montagu Place
2 Montagu Place W1(020 7467 2777)
The fact that Holiday Inn owns this hotel may not sound auspicious. But with no corporate branding, and rooms designated Comfy, Fancy or Swanky, the hotel group is clearly aiming for something different with this new, 16-room Georgian townhouse property. Montagu Place is centrally yet quietly located between Marble Arch and Baker Street tubes, five minutes' walk from trendy Marylebone High Street. It was designed by Kate Mooney of Glasgow-based Occa Design and offers a smart, luxurious mix of period detail and contemporary styling in shades of charcoal, cinnamon and white.

Book a corner suite if you can - these boast windows on all sides and stunning views down Waterloo Bridge with the river spreading out on either side. Frette bedlinen, free Wi-Fi, vast bathtubs and great room service mean you probably won't want to leave but there's plenty more to explore. Price rating: 5/5

4 Richmond Mews, W1(020 7559 3000)
London's Firmdale Hotel Group has opened its fifth outpost, The Soho Hotel, in the heart of London's nightlife district. Kitted-out in interior designer Kit Kemp's inimitable style, the 91-bedroomed hotel features rooftop penthouses with wrap-around terraces and city views, plus high-speed wireless internet access, flat screen TVs and DVDs. Facilities include a bar/restaurant Refuel, two state-of-the-art screening rooms and a gym. Price rating: 5/5
The Trafalgar
2 Spring Gardens, SW1(020 7870 2900)
The Trafalgar, housed in a listed building just off Trafalgar Square, was the Hilton's first 'designer hotel'. The interior features split-level bedrooms and American black-walnut furniture. The hotel also boasts The Rockwell, London's first bourbon bar, and a rooftop garden which has stunning views of Trafalgar Square and the city's skyline. Price rating: 5/5
Town Hall Hotel and Apartments
8 Patriot Square, London E2 9NF (020 7871 0460)
After spending the past decades as a film set, Bethnal Green's Town Hall was snapped up by Loh Lik Peng - the young hotelier responsible for the legendary revamps of Singapore's Hotel 1929 and the New Majestic - and turned into a brilliant design hotel, which opened in spring 2010. With just 98 rooms and apartments it's surprisingly spacious for a hotel in the capital, and perfect for those who want a home away from home. The room decor takes its inspiration from Scandinavia in the 1950s (some come with washing machines so that guests can keep their laundry costs down), while the bathrooms are large, luxurious and stocked with L'Occitane products. The location is ideal both for travellers with business in the City and those who want to explore this exciting up-and-coming part of London, and there is plenty of space: we found the hotel so quiet that we were subsequently surprised to find the breakfast room full with arty European business types the next morning. There is a good restaurant (Viajante, run by el Bulli and Bacchus alumnus Nuno Mendes) and great cocktails in the bar. Service is keen and there's every chance that the minor issues we spotted (malfunctioning key-cards; missing light bulbs) could be ironed out after a few more months in business. The Wi-Fi is free and available throughout the building. Price rating: 4/5
No.11 Cadogan Gardens
11 Cadogan Gardens, Knightsbridge, London SW3 2RJ(020 7730 7000 )
Walking up the steps of No.11 Cadogan Gardens and through the imposing front door is rather like tumbling down Alice's rabbit hole. This 60-room, four-apartment hotel and private members' club is a veritable wonderland of nooks and crannies, magical mirrored rooms and eccentric opulence with a quintessentially English flavour, making it a huge hit with devoted American visitors and A-listers alike, who appreciate the discreet location (one suite has its own private exit - handy for evading paps). Owner, interior designer Paul Davis, gave four linked Victorian townhouses (once owned by Mr John Lewis himself) in this tranquil corner of Knightsbridge a luxurious makeover with dramatic decor. Blood-red Murano chandeliers, brocade upholstery, velvet swags ahoy and Louis XV-style furniture are confidently mixed with all the mod cons a demanding traveller could desire. Price rating: 4/5
The Zetter
St John's Square, 86-88 Clerkenwell Road, EC1(020 7324 4444)
This contemporary hotel is hip and trendy - not surprising given its location in the graphic design neighbourhood. The 59 rooms have been individually designed with quirky features and wonderful attention to detail: the bath robes are embroidered with the trademark Zzzz and come with matching slippers. Bruno Loubet's modern bistro is exquisite. Price rating: 4/5
W London - Leicester Square
10 Wardour Street, W1(00 800 325 25252)
A gleaming black entrance hall and padded lift lead up to a white, gold and silver lounge bar where guests and an after-work crowd arrange themselves on deep sofas around a bubble-like bar. In the Spice Market restaurant (a franchise of the Jean-Georges Vongerichten concept created in New York) everything glows, from the army of red-clad waiters to the steady stream of South-east Asian street dishes to share (the crab dumplings are divine). After all that sensory stimulation, the dark corridors and sleek bedrooms are wonderfully soothing. The smallest of the 192 rooms are studio style, with sink units that double as dressing tables and/or desks, the idea being you can check Facebook while applying your lipstick (watch your spend; Wi-Fi costs £18 a day). The W is fun and funky and at its best after dark: the silver curtains above the beds look gaudy in the cold light of morning. Happily there is Berocca in the mini bar, and a small space-pod spa on the sixth floor. Opt for a 'grab-and-go' breakfast in the lounge or something more substantial in your room: a Full English doesn't quite work in the context of the Asian Spice Market. Price rating: 5/5
51 Buckingham Gate
51 Buckingham Gate(020 7769 7766)
It's hard to imagine that anyone checking into one of these 86 serviced suites and apartments in St James' will want to cook: 51 Buckingham Gate is also a hotel with three restaurants (including the Michelin-starred Quilon Restaurant and Bar) and 24-hour room service. However, all the suites and apartments - which vary in size from one to four bedrooms - have extremely well-equipped kitchens. Other facilities include a spa, butler service and baby-sitting. Price rating: 4/5
The Ampersand Hotel
10 Harrington Road
Conveniently placed just around the corner from Boujis nightclub, The Ampersand Hotel has reinvented its 1888 self. Going for a vintage, boutique look, it has 110 bedrooms, a new patisserie, a gym and an underground cocktail bar; the bird-themed lobby/lounge displays a mix of modern art and quirky ornaments.

"Hit 'Em in The Mouth", is a documentary exploring the Seattle Bike Polo scene, the birthplace of our beloved game.
The film centres around the dominate figures of the scene, including the "father" of hardcourt bike polo; Matt Messenger, the 2009 world champions; Team Smile as well as up-and-coming players in the city. It's sure to be a good watch.
The film's world premier is June 30th in NYC at Anthology Film Archives for NY BFF.
It would be great to have the EU premier in London during this summers London Open.

text: Woops, I think I posted in the wrong forum....OK...I'm 80% certain the diff on my 97 M3 daily driver is shot. It is not driveable. I'm shopping for a replacement, but can't find one locally and am agonizing over shipping costs added to an expensive part that I can't say for absolute certain will fix my problem. Locally there is one available from a 97 328i for only $50. I realize, of course that this is not a limited slip diff and that the ratio is taller, but for 50 bucks?... My question is, however, would it fit and function? If so, I could have the car back on the road tomorrow and for next to nothing. This would give me plenty of time to locate the correct part locally and the confidence to know that I was throwing 3 or 4 hundred in the right direction.

Up until the past few years, research papers focused on nanoparticles were a rarity; now, they're everywhere, and there are entire journals focused on the study of materials that have features that are only tens of nanometers across. Nanotech has attracted interest because many materials have completely different properties from their bulk form—a suspension of gold nanoparticles looks red and has a different melting point than the bulk metal, for example. These distinctive new properties can include distinct catalytic and electronic behavior, which is what has generated the interest. But they can also include distinct health risks, an area that the scientific community itself doesn't understand fully.
In the past, materials with poorly understood health risks have often led the public to become very wary about any products or research involving them. So, researchers have been trying to track how the public views nanoparticles, looking for signs that public opposition might be building. Unfortunately, what they've mostly found is confusion. A new study has tried to get a clearer sense of where the public stands by asking them how they rate nanoparticles compared to other health hazards. Although the survey is small, it suggests that nanoparticles are viewed a lot more like cell phones than cigarettes.
The authors give a sense of the confusion about nanotech by noting that past surveys that included questions about it have found radically different results when it comes to public awareness, which ranged anywhere from 25 percent to 75 percent. With that amount of uncertainty, it's easy for the phrasing of a question to dramatically skew the responses of those being surveyed.
To get a clearer sense, the authors attempted to get a sense of relative risks: how does the public view nanoparticles when they're placed in the context of some well-defined health risks. They used a survey that simply asked respondents to rate risks on a simple scale of 1-5, provided a neutral definition of nanoparticles, and then presented a long list of potential health hazards. (The full list was: Cigarette smoking, Street drugs, Chemical pollution, Nuclear waste, Obesity, AIDS, Stress, Pesticides in food, Motor vehicle accidents, Sun tanning, Bacteria in food, Air pollution, Genetically engineered bacteria, Radon in the home, Drinking alcohol, Cloning, Coal or oil burning plants, Nuclear power plants, Storms and floods, Nanoparticles, Blood transfusions, Medical X-rays, Cell phone use, Commercial air travel.)
The survey was done by mail, and had a pretty reasonable response rate (about a quarter of those asked completed it). Unfortunately, it only went out to a small population, so the authors only have the results from about 307 people. It's hardly a representative sample, and the term "demographics" doesn't even appear in the paper. So, in many ways, this is more a pilot than a clear indication of where the US public stands.
But the results definitely seem worth following up on. The order of the risks listed above corresponds to the degree of public worry; respondents quite reasonably put smoking on the top of the list and commercial air travel at the bottom. There were some badly mis-rated risks, like coal plants, but many of the choices seem fairly reasonable. And, pretty notably, nanoparticles were near the bottom, between floods and blood transfusions and well below things like stress and suntanning.
If these results hold up over a larger, more representative sample, then they seem to indicate that the public isn't likely to start agitating to shut down nanotech research just as it's ramping up. A similar survey done by others, however, also suggests that the public is not likely to be clamoring for more research. When Europeans were asked which technologies they were most excited about, nanotech "ranked eighth of nine options and the nineth option was 'none of these.'"

Mo. eyes sales tax hike for highway funds
Project would widen I-70 between Kansas City, St. Louis
Missouri leaders are proposing a one-cent sales tax to pay for highway repairs and to widen Interstate 70.
Widening I-70, which currently runs two lanes between Kansas City and suburban St. Louis, has been on a wish list for years.
The chairman of the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission proposed the increase, saying it would raise nearly $8 billion over 10 years.
Missouri has been facing a transportation funding crisis, with money for construction dropping from just over $2 billion to less than $700 million this past year. Other suggestions that have been floated to solve the problem is turning I-70 into a toll road and to raise Missouri's gasoline tax.
The director of the Missouri Department of Transportation supported the proposal, saying it would create jobs, make roads safer and reduce commuter congestion.
