Nathan Phillips and Simone Tentori send Khoikhoi 8C (B+)

Nathan Phillips and Simone Tentori, who both did their first 8C+ some months ago, have repeated Jimmy Webb’s Khoikhoi (8C) in Rocklands.

Phillips [pictured]: ”Possibly the best hard boulder I’ve ever done. Incredible trip. I can’t think of many hard boulders in this style. Ninja Skills is the closest and it’s for sure harder than that but feels a little easier than some of the other 8C’s I’ve done. Very hard 8B+ or low end 8C does seem right. I wish there were more hard blocs in this style! Thanks Jimmy for giving this gem to the world.”

Tentori: ”This one is so special. The line, the rock, the moves, just perfect. I found a new beta that makes the sequence a little bit easier and straightforward, imo, so upper-end 8B+ might be right this way?”
