Repeat of Sleepy Rave, Font 8C, Grampians, AustraliaVideo

James Kassay has repeated Sleepy Rave (Font 8C) in the Hollow Mountain cave, Grampians, Australia.

The endurance boulder problem links three Font 8A+ problems together and is part of the very famous boulder problem The Wheel of Life (Font 8C+).

If James links the Font 7C problem of X-Treme Cool to the start of Sleepy Rave, he will get the ultra-coveted tick of The Wheel of Life.

These super endurance roof problems are almost a style of climbing in their own right and may seem a strange concept to those unfamiliar with this style. It is a type of climbing that we do have in the UK, with stamina link-ups in Parisella's Cave in North Wales being of a similar length and steepness.

great effort....i'm guessing this just has a slightly different start to WOL as the finish for each seems the same: http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=575

also keep in mind you can't shake out properly on the "rests" because your hand will hit the ground ;p

Cool video, he made it look effortless. Actually looks like a line too unlike similar style stuff in Wales and the Ali Baba cave.
