20 | ★★ Aquaponics - with Ollie Rattue | 30m | Rocklands | ★★ Very Good | Sun 28th Apr 2024 | ||||
Rad moves through a beautiful, clean finger crack. Plus some spice at the top.

23 | ★★ The Desert Crow of Africa Flies at Midnight - with Ollie Rattue | 55m | Rocklands | Sun 28th Apr 2024 | |||||
What a cool line. Some very unique moves through the crack system lead to a heady crux that isn’t as outrageous as it looks from the ground. Exit still needs some figuring out — might be possible to go straight up in one big pitch instead of traversing left.

A staunch start, especially for shorter climbers. A solid crux near the top which is also difficult to clip from below if you're not super tall. I'm not sure if the section left of the anchors are off route or not.. definitely worth the effort!

Hard for 25....I'd say more consistent with other 26s I've done in SA so far. 2nd try.
Beta spoiler - don't try to climb in the corner seam at the first crux. Stay right. Right foot way right - left smear and from there undercling go straight for the jug up top (if you're tall) or if you're shorter (like me ) take the side pull with the left hand (on the Arete) and then go for the jug on the top. |

7A 7A+ | ★★★ Human Energy - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 20th Sep 2014 | |||||
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 | Welcome to the Game - with Maria | Rocklands | Thu 11th Sep 2014 | ||||||
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!
|
|||||||||
6B | ★★ Bang Boom Bang - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Classic | Sat 20th Sep 2014 | |||||
6B/V3.3. Easy for the grade, two powerful moves on jugs and that´s it. Did it because the moves to the juggy arete looked fun and so they were XD
|
|||||||||
6C | ★★ New Addition - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 26th Sep 2014 | |||||
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!
|
|||||||||
6B+ 6B+/C | ★★★ Girl on Our Mind - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||||
"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 | ★★★ Girl Interrupted - with Maria and Colombians | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 28th Sep 2014 | |||||
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!
|
|||||||||
6A+ 6B | ★★★ Bale - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 12th Sep 2014 | |||||
6A+/V3. Maria´s first outdoor V3 of many more to come! She got it in just a few tries as well, getting noticeably stronger! Her first V4 followed soon after, a hard one at that!
|
|||||||||
6C 6B+ | ★★ Coal Chamber (Coal chamber sit start) - with Maria and the SA´cans | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 28th Sep 2014 | |||||
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!
|
|||||||||
5C | ★★ Ice, Ice Baby - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||||
5C/V1.5. Hard for the grade, a bit too much in the arms. Has the potential to discourage would-be boulderers on their first trip, especially because this is the "warm-up boulder". Should be 6A IMO. Excellent and technical nontheless!
|
|||||||||
6A | ★★ Desert Rose - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||||
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!
|
|||||||||
5A | ★★ Bad Boy for Life - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||||
5A/V0.5. First problem of Rocklands! Pleasantly surprised by the style: big, athletic moves to big holds. Maria: "Now, this is what I´m talking about".
|
|||||||||
6C 6B | ★★ Joke of the Day - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Fri 12th Sep 2014 | |||||
Did the big move to the undercling variation at 6C/V5. Surprised myself when I actually caught it first go, felt marginal and had to push hard to close the crimp and maintain the body tension for moving my feet, but managed to do it!
|
|||||||||
6B | ★★ Campari - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||||
6B/V3.3. Did this thinking it was the 4 in the guide. When Maria couldn´t get off the ground we re-interpreted the guide and finally understood it. Great problem! One hard move at the start and then it´s just core to top out. Worth getting on for sure XD
|
|||||||||
6A+ | ★★★ Orange - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 14th Sep 2014 | |||||
6A+/V3. Did this at the end of the day, didn´t want to stop bouldering! Everything in Rocklands is so amazing, all of the rock is so solid, and the top-outs are so easy! Wanted more. Will always want more from Rocklands.
|
|||||||||
6B | ★★★ Dirty Hippie - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||||
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...
|
|||||||||
5B | ★★ Cooler Shaker - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Classic | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||||

6B+ 6B/B+ | ★★ Boerewors - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Mon 8th Sep 2014 | |||||

|
|||||||||
6A | ★★ 6B in the Rain - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 14th Sep 2014 | |||||
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+ | ★★★ Feist - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 14th Sep 2014 | |||||
6B+/V4. Awesome tensiony traverse finished up by a huge deadpoint to a jug. Basically a smaller, much easier version of Bengie black (a gorgeous full body dyno to a sloping jug), which I got painfully close to sending... Had to abandon it because it was shaving off all of my skin! Next trip!
|
|||||||||
6B | ★★ Pre-teen Bikini - with Maria | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 27th Sep 2014 | |||||
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!
