More pure undiluted inspiration from Ondra.

The boy is ill.

He has just flashed two Font 8Bs (The Vice and Armed Response in a day and then flashed 2 8As (Out of Balance and Pendragon and an 8A+ (Oral Office) in the same session. All in Rocklands, South Africa.

I'll have what he's having.

I'm sure the 8bs are really only 8a+, so that's not really that impressive really is it? :oops: I came over all cocktalk there.

Fuck me, that's some serious climbing, better keep the lad away from the grit or we'll be seeing some LGP not only going down but put down like a sick puppy.

Don't think Ard Ay is at Rocklands.

I'm farily confident it's in SA and as Rocklands is the only bouldering area I could think of I wnet with the gut reaction.  I would willingly accept my memory is not actually photographic, just very good in some areas, like remembering large blocks of text which are largely meaningless.

Now do I need to go find my unsigned copy of revelations and find out or is there a geek who can provide the definitive answer?

Think your memory might need booking in for a service.
Its actually at Topside near Cape Town.

Indeed it is. He is probably planning to nip there and clean up on the way to the airport.

Lot more to SA than just rocklands believe it or not.
