8C by Dave Graham in Rocklands

Dave Graham reports on Instagram that he has made the first repeat of Daniel Woods's Spray of Light 8C in Rocklands. (c) Beau Kahler SUPER SYKED!!!

Climbing is such an amazing game of belief, concentration, and execution, and I feel really lucky my life revolves around this game, it teaches one so much about life in general.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
