Lately, in the Cape...

The Cinema's crimp classic "Cloverfield", saw it's 4th South African repeat when Harry Crews sent the problem on a solo mission on Monday afternoon. The problem was Harry's first 8A and it seems the boulder league sessions are paying off for several Cape climbers!


Over in Montagu, Jimbo Smith managed a redpoint of "Not for Sale" 31/32 at The Scoop after working the route on and off over the past few months.

Arjan in Brione

Check out this cool little clip of Arjan de Kock and friends bouldering in Switzerland. It features Arjan making "Amber" look like a 7A instead of an 8B. He managed to do this problem in a single session!

MTV Generation

The list of hard problems in Topside continues to grow with the addition of "MTV Generation" 8B by Marijus Šmigelskis at Echo Valley. The line climbs 13+ moves out of a cave above the Mighty Boosh boulders, with each move getting progressively harder. Check out the vid below...


Marijus discovered the line last September and spent numerous sessions last year and 3 this year before succeeding on the problem's complex sequence. Check out what he has to say about the problem here.
