Cinema Classics

Rob Fraser is beginning to transfer his indoor climbing abilities to real rock and the results have been promising. Topside's classic, "Cloverfield" 8A at The Cinema was sent after a few sessions, some marred by terrible conditions . Rob then went to make a single session send of the not quite as classic "The Life Aquatic" 7C+. Check out the send of "Cloverfield":


And here's another a clip featuring "The Life Aquatic", a better edit of Rob's "Cloverfield" send as well as a few moderates below:

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.
