After seven months bouldering overseas I’m finally back in the states! It feels good to be home. Sorry for the lack of updates but my computer crapped out a few weeks after we got to South Africa. It’s all fixed up now so I’m back to editing video full time. I’m home in Atlanta for a month before I head off for a big US roadtrip at the beginning of October. I’m currently shopping for a van and getting some much needed rest from climbing.
My trip to Rocklands was great; the place is everything you imagine when you see the photographs and videos, tall lines on orange and black streaked rock, flat landings and easy topouts. It’s a great combination that lends itself to classic highballs such as:
Cedar Spine 7B+
Macho King 7C+
Springbok 7B+
Splash of Red 7C+
Those shots are stills from our video footage. I wish I could tell you the video will be finished soon but I haven’t even had time to look at the footage yet. Our Swiss video on the other hand IS almost finished and it is awesome. It’s got epic falls, epic sends, and epic bungee jumps!
Now that I’ve got my computer up and running again I will be updating the site frequently. I’ll post up some more photos from South Africa in a couple days and then I’ll have a few wrap up posts from the trip before the end of the month.
A storm up at the pass
