Rudi Moroder hits Rocklands hard

Rudi Moroder has had an amazing five weeks in Rocklands, sending 36 boulders 8A and harder. Included in this impressive tick list were four flashes and a one hour ascent of The Arch, 8B. In some five cases, he has given personal grades. It should be noted that before his trip to Rocklands, Moroder had done 20 8A's and harder, meaning he more than doubled his hard boulder resume. "Rocklands is without doubt one of the best bouldering places on the planet.The rock is fantastic, there are incredibly lots of boulders and the area still has a lot of potential. This summer a lot of strong climbers were there and the atmosphere was amazing." More info and pics in his blog
