March Hits

Andrew Wood made the second ascent of "Parthenon" 8A at the Deadwood boulder at TDA. He was close to sending the line before having to return home to KZN for the university holidays in December 2008. Upon his return, 5 or 6 more sessions yielded success on the problem.

One of Redhill's longest standing and most tried projects fell to Marijus Šmigelskis when he sent "Mayhem", at a fairly modest grade of 7C. The line features a big pull to poor pinch sloper above a sketchy two-tiered landing.
