Rocklands is the best bouldering area I've ever seen. We were climbing there for a whole month and it's the paradise. I can't wait to go again, but the flight is pretty expensive, so I probably won't be able to go next year.
I've been working on hard projects for the last year and a half, so I wanted to do different things this trip. I've climbed many problems quickly, but I tried briefly a couple of hard problems I want to do next time.
Some of the problems were:
- In the Middle of the Ass, 8A (onsight)
- Kings of Convenience, 8A (onsight)
- Royksopp, 8A
- Leopard Cave, 8A+ (flash)
- Oral Office, 8A+ (2nd go)
- Nutsa, 8A+ (2nd go)
- Black Velvet, 8A (2nd go)
- Quintessential, 8B
- Shosholoza, 8A+
- Panama, 8A
- Red Meat, 8B
- Au Bord de l'Eau, 8A (flash)
- Black Shadow, 8A+
- The Amphitheatre, 8A+

After the trip, I was resting for a couple of weeks, but I've just started training hard again. I'm doing some routes too, I flashed "Segundos Fuera" (8a+) at Patones (Madrid) on Monday, but I need more endurance to do an amazing route I'm trying at Margalef…
