8C FA by Paul Robinson again

Paul Robinson, one of the exploring guys, who has put up most hard core Boulders, has done his fifth 8C FA, The Dragon's Guardian in Cederberg after two years of projecting. (c) Jacques Vanzyl - After, a big storm, I woke up to perfect conditions. I marched up the hill and straight to this roof. After a short warm up and a quick refresher on some of the moves, I took a few deep breaths, chalked up, and sent the line that I once thought could never be climbed! The process of it all really was just as amazing as standing atop of what I am now naming, "The Dragon's Guardian, 8C/V15. Full story on his FB.
