Le bloc le plus dur jamais réalisé par Dave Graham en Afrique du sud

As the snow continues to accumulate upon Hypnotized Minds up in RMNP 😑 I’m going to take this opportunity to reminisce of drier warmer times and share the first ascent footage of the hardest problem I managed to climb down in South Africa this summer. Red Bottom Sky [8C] is a rig I discovered at the Riverside sector tucked back into a small valley. A strange powerful crack sequence leads up to a bizarre kneebar-jump to a shit hold, and is followed by a technical compression sequence revolving around a terrible heel hook which you ride till the very end. Out of the 13 8b+ boulders I’ve climbed this year this thing was the most challenging to actually link, and took more time and effort than any of the others. Hopefully its actually a step above the rest in terms of difficulty and holds the grade. Lets see what people say next season, super amped to get back😍!!! @island_io @fiveten_official @petzl_official @walltopia @trangoworldofficial @frictionlabs @sendclimbing
