Hi. I'm becoming a bit obsessed with Mt Roraima:

http://www.zadan.nl/pics/mount/mount.jpg

I'm not about to go and climb it. It would be way beyond my skill level. But I'd love to see photos of it being climbed if anyone has any? I've found a few by searching Google Images but nothing breath-taking.

In reply to Meejahor: Check out Hamish Macinnes`s book Climb to the Lost World about the 1973 ascent of The Prow route on Roraima.

I went to See Don Whillans give a lecture about it - he had lots of slides...but that doesn't help you much does it?

Think there's an easy way round the back too so don't give up!

Al Alvarez's 'Feeding the Rat' has a good chapter or two about tepui climbing. Can't remember which one though!
