American Jesse Bonin is in Rocklands, South Africa for the summer and according to his 8a.nu scorecard he recently succeeded in doing his first V14, Derailed. Check his blog for updates on his trip.
Another week, another new V14 from Daniels Woods at Mt. Evans’ newest hotspot Wolverine Land. Woods logged his latest FA on his 8a scorecard as The Exfoliator and noted that this is the first problem he put up of late that took him more than 1 day to send (Exfoliator took 3 days). In the past month he also did the FA of V14s Death Trout and Evil Backwards, both also at Wolverine Land and both already repeated by Dave Graham and Jon Cardwell.
Simon Carter has some nice pictures up on his blog of Ethan Pringle’s recent repeat of Wheel Of Life (Vhard/5.long) at the Grampians in Australia. Check them out here.

there’s probably some sort of lesson to be learned here or maybe even words of caution.
can they really be surprised that there’s more “palm greasing” when it seems like that was the tone set when initially going into business? Unfortunate but almost expected. It is a third world country with cultural and political differences that the western world isn’t familiar with and won’t really understand.
You’ve got to pay to play.
