Andy Lamb does Monkey Wedding (8C)
Andy Lamb, with four 8C+โ to his name, has completed Monkey Wedding (8C) as well as flashed Moon shadow (8B) and The Guest List (8B) in Rocklands.
Can you tell us more about your trip?
South Africa was great! I was only there 3 weeks, but got to do a ton of lines I wanted to try. Still a ton of climbs I didn't get to try like Amandla (8B+) (skin didn't feel good enough at the end of the trip) and Speed of Sound (8B+)(closed this year). Definitely want to come back next summer to get on these and maybe start the process on some bigger projects.
What is next?
I'll be at home for the next few months, got a few projects I'm psyched to finish up. Then will hopefully do a Switzerland and / or Font trip this winter.

Ondra flashes 3*8C in two weeks
โI stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโs 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 isโฆ
