Africa Updates 1...

Had a pretty nice day yesterday, managed to send Dirty Lies (7a+) quite quickly, today had a go on Question of Balance (7b), it felt quite good but didn't manage to do it on my first session, also had a go on Rhino (7b+) which is such a nice problem and waiting to get on it again.

Tomorrow some of us are having a rest day, Andy was kind enough and has agreed to be my porter and carry some pads for me up the Plateau so I can have a go on Minki again.


The young gun needs a rest day after sending some hard boulders in the past days. Yesterday he sent Late Benders (8a), he did it on his second go, also saw some nice flashing on Macho King (7c+) and Berserker (7c+), and he finished his day by topping out Solar Power (8a). Today he climbed Madiba (8b+) in 15 minutes and he said that it felt like a solid (8a+).

Met Ethan Pringle today, also trying Madiba, and he fell just before the top.
