Mazawattee 8c+ by Mel Janse van Rensburg (18)
Mel Janse van Rensburg has done his first 8c+ after 14 days of projecting, Mazawattee in Montagu. Two years ago he did the second ascent of an 8c+ which he and others later have called 8c.
"Mazawattee has been an incredible journey and to finally be able to do it is such an amazing feeling. Through this process I learnt a lot about, not only climbing, but also myself and the mental aspect of climbing, which will hopefully help me with my future projects.
.
Mazawattee is one of the best and definitely the hardest route I've done. 25m of steep, sustained sandstone climbing, what more could one ask for?"
