The Ticklist #13 - Hard Sport, Highball Bouldering and Horrendous Crack Climbing
In this week's Ticklist, we take a look at some hard sport ascents, Barbara Zangerl's ascent of Greenspit and the usual hard bouldering.
Mellow have just released footage of Jimmy Webb's Rocklands rampage in 2019. The top American boulderer worked his way through some of Rocklands' hardest testpieces, including Spray of Light (8C), Parzival (8C), The Finnish Line (8C), Monkey Wedding (8C) and Black Eagle Assis (8B+) - a mixture of old classics and new additions.
Rocklands and the Cederberg are extensive bouldering areas with massive potential for new climbing and Webb added several of his own problems, including:
Edge of Darkness (8B)
Matinée (8B+)
The Healing (8B+)
Rise Up (8A+)
Jimmy Webb is one of the world's top boulderers, with multiple Font 8C+ problems on his CV. He has been at the forefront of pushing into new grade boundaries for several years and made first ascents worldwide.
