Monkey Wedding 8C by Clément Lechaptois

25 August 2022

Clément Lechaptois, who previously has done five 8C's, has done Monkey Wedding (8C) in Rocklands. "I tried Monkey Wedding back in 2021 and was close to sending but unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the job. This year it went quite fast on the second day trying the boulder. Good friends were there, I was chill, so that has been a good time. Thanks Fred Nicole for another great classic! (c) Marine Thevenet

What are your autumn plans?
Climbing around home in Valais and Chamonix. Then probably a bit of Ticino :)

Any specific projects? Maybe Fuck the System. I've already invested quite some time in it so it would be amazing to try to finish it off. Otherwise I don't know yet
