8C by Daniel Woods in Rocklands

Daniel Woods reports on Insta that he has done Nalle Hukkataival's Finnish Line 8C in Rocklands. (c) Brooke Raboutou. "Stoked to make the 5th ascent of Nalle's Finnish line. I saw photos of Nalle on it last year and was awestruck by the lines beauty and movement. The climbing is powerful yet technical as well. It is key to have optimal friction to hold onto these holds. I spent three days working it on a rope then another three to go for the send. Its def one of the harder lines in Rocklands next to Livin large. As for the rest of this trip I want to repeat a few more lines that my friends put up last year, Khoikhoi (8C), try Livin large a bit more (this one is hard for me), and search for some new shit. It snowed last night but it is gone now. Sending temps have arrived. For the rest of this year I have a couple hard projects that I'm psyched on in CO and want to do a return trip to Spain in Dec for First round first minute. Just hyped to send some hard blocs and routes this year.
