Clement Lechaptois sticks Monkey Wedding and two 8B+'s!

โ€In 2021, I travelled to Rocklands. The atmosphere was pretty incredible as it was almost empty because of covid. I was aiming to climb Monkey Wedding (8C)and got very close but got shut down because of a huge split on a finger. I still got to climb another low, but amazing problem called Mรฉnage ร  trois (8B+). The year after I managed to climb Monkey Wedding the second day of the trip, and then climbed Book Club (8B+) All those 3 problems are great, and making the edit reminded me of the sweet times I had there with good friends.โ€
