Rocklands: a trad diary from South Africa by James Pearson and Caroline Ciavaldini

Quando si parla di Rocklands, nel mondo dell’arrampicata l’associazione che viene maggiormente spontanea è “boulder”. La zona del Sud Africa è infatti conosciuta da tutti i climber per l’enorme quantità di blocchi scalabili a disposizione. Eppure, in questo vastissimo oceano di roccia color arancio, il boulder non è l’unico tipo di arrampicata possibile…
In June 2014, Caroline Ciavaldini and James Pearson set off to discover Trad In Rocklands. Originally in search of hard, “cutting edge” new routes, what the couple discovered is perhaps even more valuable! An almost unlimited potential for Trad development, with 1,000’s of new routes to climb! In three weeks the pair barely scratched the surface, but if one thing was clear, it was that this amazing place, a place we all thought we knew, has so much more to give…as you can discover by yourself in the video “Rocklands: a trad diary” produced by La Sportiva.
