We’ve been in Rocklands for two weeks now.... It’s extremely warm here which is making climbing hard, but the weather is promising impending cold. Project time, business time, our time to shine. Everyone is psyched (apart from Lee Anderson... obviously and Scott thinks it’s shit and recommends you never come here) and we’re finding projects. The greatest achievement of the trip thus far has been finding Nalle Hukkataival’s problem ‘Livin’ Large’ (the 8c arête in the film Core). It took Micky Page and various cohorts about 2 days to find. It turns out it was worth it...
The line is the most stunning thing ever climbed! The ascent by Nalle took bouldering to another level. Logistically it is a ridiculous project. It takes an hour to walk in on no path, you need about 8 pads and spotters. Not to mention it’s 8c and a solid 8 metres high. Imagine Careless Torque but two metres higher, with harder start moves acting as the gatekeepers for the disgustingly technical, scary, E19 without pads, Font 6c+ top section. There’s still a bit to be climbed in the area too.
We’ve filmed lots of problems and we’re editing along the way, so hopefully we’ll have a nice little film for you not long after our prestigious return.
And now...
