(thanks for the poster Denny!!) Some background: Oliver (flashed? – correct me if I’m wrong guys?) 3 grades harder than his previous best redpoint. Respect… For the connoisseur: spot the reference to the grade 33/34 route…..again, well done Denny!! Sneaky!!
While I’m waiting for my series to copy…. In the process of doing my first kefir trade, got offered a full manicure – unexpected, but then again that’s exactly what I had in mind I’m pretty happy to have made the first trade, delivery this week, manicure in a bit. Just plain fun doing...
Just for fun, don’t think any big sponsors are going to be lining up any time soon (except perhaps those that are your sponsor when you join one of those “Anonymous” groups ) Buildering 2011-11-01
Getting my thoughts together and remembering all the things that happened in during the past month or two feels a bit like that – herding cats. I should have kept notes, there were so many things I wanted to write about & share, but my internet at home is down and it’s been hectic...
For my friend Jovani – “work less climb more”, and if you’re ever around these parts be sure to let me know! (Click on the pic for full size version / right click & “Save as”!)

Some pics of the campsite and bouldering area called “Rocklands” outside Clanwilliam. It’s a beautiful place with endless bouldering. Walking in you can easily smell the fynbos and although it can be considered long walk-ins compared to any climbing in Gauteng, it’s at least half the fun. I was fortunate to get on one...
A couple of pics of the road from Cape Town back to Montagu. The billboard ad is quite cute – the town name “Worcester” (close to where the brandy is made) is pronounced the same as the Afrikaans word “woester” which means “rougher”. There is also a fermented condiment sauce called “Worcestor sauce”. The...
After Rocklands the plan was to do some kitesurfing in Langebaan, but I just did not feel like it. My entire body was aching from bouldering and I had injured my right hand. It’s a beautiful place and the ideal spot to kitesurf - next time. So I drove on past to Cape Town. Past...
