{FR} 8b
Garden Route Oudtshoorn Main Wall
{FR} 8b El Bino Jr

Controversial! This is the old p4 project at oudshoorn main wall, climbs the crux of el nino and then splits off right to another crux that used to be about 6C+ Before i broke a hold that changed the boulder to 7a+. I sent the project to the new chains of el nino which the route later climbs close by but then fell on the top moves of the full line as the holds where wet. The full line with broken holds is thus still up for grabs but i will be back in jan to finish it off. All controversy aside the line is amazing and must get tried more, great powerful flowy moves that pump your brains out(only slightly harder than seven) - Ben Louw
