Very Good!!

Great!

good little one

I'm guessing this date. Cant remeber yet n cant find my climb log yet!!! Aesome boulder climb!!!

6C/V5. Pretty hard! Sit start into a mini half moon feature that overhangs on tiny crimps and finishes with slopey pinches, I needed to push hard for this one! Psyched!

Had bad skin and didn´t nail the sequence right (sneaky left toe hook), otherwise I think I could´ve flashed it. Powerful moves on slopers with slippery feet. Loved it!

6B+/V4. Pumpy problem! Traverses halfway round the teapot boulder. Can link up with Up the spout for a 6C, which is what I initially tried but pumped out, which is why I missed the flash. That and the fact that I had been trying Teapot which I couldn´t figure out how to start!

7A/V6. First 7A in Rocklands! A 17-move monster! This compression boulder feels so exciting from start to finish, in an "in crescendo" fashion, with the hardest and longest move at the end- a cutloose rodeo move. When I first saw the problem, I tried a powerful beta which didn´t work, then saw some people do it, which made me dismiss Creeper (easier 7A but less attractive) and dedicated 3 days on this. Was inspired finally by Maria´s ascent of her first 6B+/V4! Got instantly psyched, dug deep XD

5C/V1.5. Extremely hard for the grade, I think it should be 6A+/V3. One move monster, sit start on a medium rail with bad feet and stretched legs. Powerful!

6C/V5. Very hard indeed. Tensiony start followed my a big move to a crimp, then small tensiony crimpy moves, concluding with a pumpy powerful finish. Only just!

"Best 6B+/V4 in Rocklands". Juggy, tensiony moves on a roof followed by the tickytacky moves on the headwall. An excellent first impression of Rocklands- not that other problems would not have impressed me equally well! Maria got so close to sending this! One more day, and for sure she would have!

6C/V5. Replaces GoOm´s headwall with a huge outstretched move to a good crimp. The obvious more spectacular variation on an already spectacular problem. This one feels like the ending of a route at Coolum because of the pump!

6C/V5. A very hard start followed by cool long moves to crimps and a victory jug. Awesome that this problem always stays in good conditions. 2nd go!

6A/V2. A really cool crimpy variation to IIB. A bit scary locking off on your right arm to slowly go for the last juggy pinch!

6B/V3.3. I told Maria I would flash this cool campus problem with my boots on. I blame the boots for not getting the flash, not the fact that I couldn´t do the campus right away...

6B+/V4. Awesome traverse followed by a HUGE deadpoint to an edge. Awesome explosive feeling. First day bouldering at Rocklands could not be better!

6A/V2. Tricky rail that keeps tension high at all times. Hard to flash for some reason! Definitely at least 6B in the rain!

6B/V3.3. Excellent 3 move problem. Amazing sequence and strength sensation. Dynamic and static at the same time. Technical, yet powerful. My favorite 6B that I did this trip? I think so!

7A/V6. OMG! Another one-day send of a 7A! Had tried it on another day, but the beta I had involved locking off on a tiny 2 finger crimp, which I could just about do, but would pump out two moves later. John suggested I use a tensiony sloper I hadn´t found and that was the key! 3 attempts later, I was on the top! Amazing, fun day of bouldering with cool people XD

6C/V5. This boulder is really a must-do. Flying into a good crimp, locking it in, then throwing for a high jug! As fun as bouldering EVER gets. Psychological enough to make it exciting, yet very safe to fall on XD 2nd try.

7A/V6. In a day! This problem adjusted to my strengths exactly. The first balancy body tension moves were not too bad, and I knew that if I skipped the crappy left hand and dynoed well enough to the final sloper, I could stick it. Did it just in time! Was about to give up because of skin conditions. So psyched!!!

6C/V5. So you got this overhanging Santa box you wrestle with for the sit start, stand up as much as you can, and let your right hand fly to the hole (by hole I mean it´s a friggin window to the sky), which bites you if you don´t get it right! Simply amazing.

Suggested grade of 6A+/V3. Start as per Egomaniac but go right on good slopers with a big right move and a slopey/reachy topout. My very fist first ascent, and the last climb we did in Rocklands. I will miss this very special place with overwhelming beauty that squeezes the power out of you! Hasta la proxima!

6B/V3.3. Awesome long moves on crimps and slopers on this exposed arete in the shade. Powerful stuff!
