Boogie Nights
I decided to kill a weekend in Cape Town to check out the other bouldering in South Africa. Keith and I got the (exhausting) tour from local Justin Hawkins. He took us to "Topside" a bouldering area (jungle) that overlooked both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. The view was as mind melting as was Justin's herb. After a bushwhacking of epic proportions (and getting lost twice) we found "Boogie Nights" a new Fred problem that he put up the previous year while also taking breather from the Rocklands. How in 
the fuck that guy finds boulders like this is beyond me. I swear he would trip over his own feet if they weren't attached to his ankles. Anyway, here our visiting Norwegian friend "Tootsten" attempts the second ascent of the fine roof traverse that just last week finally got it's repeat and was confirmed at V12.

Huh?
Daniel Woods and Chuck Fryberger examin an unclimbed boulder in the marshes of Pakhuis Pass while I find a comfortable dry spot to eat my lunch.
The Goblin
The chicken heads that adorn the summit of nearly every boulder in the Rocklands are like snowflakes, no two are the same. In the case of the "goblin head", Cedar Wright decided it needed further inspection. "Do you want a pad Cedar?" I asked. "Nope, won't be needing one," he said.
The looks of him here makes me think he decided otherwise. (click the photo to enlarge it)
I was thankful for every night he made it home (alive) to the dinner table!
