Paul Robinson adds 35 FAs incl an 8C in RSA

Paul Robinson has had another great trip exploring trip to South Africa where he has been part of opening up Three Corners in Cederberg some 100 km south of Rocklands. In total he has done the FA 35 boulders up to the 8C, In the depths of Solitude. "First of all this line was an amazing experience to climb on. what a beautiful boulder in such an incredible place. in the beginning i thought 8B+ but then really thought about it more and i think it is more 8C. feels harder than some other 8c's i have done. 16 moves out this cave on great rock! wow so content :) Goodbye south africa... it has been an amazing trip in my favorite place in the whole world. great times with great friends. thanks all :) onward to BRAZIL!" Paul is one of the leading hard core FAs in the world having established some 15 boulders 8B+ and harder and in total he has done more than 600 8A and harder. On the picture, Paul establishes Run for Cover 8A+. " wow! This one is one of the best lines I have ever done! A stunner! HUGEEEE moves." More info and pictures to come.
