Nalle Hukkataival Hits The Ground Running In Cape Town

Nalle Hukkataival fresh off the plane after the journey from Australia to South Africa:

I just made the first repeat of Paul Robinson’s V15, A Simple Knowing1, at Topside. I managed to climb it quickly in half an hour. It’s a nice problem, but once again nowhere near the difficulty that I consider V15. On a related note, here’s a photo of Livin’ Large…

Hukkataival registered A Simple Knowing at V13 on his 27Crags ticklist, and he registered repeats of two other Robinson FAs at Topside that he suggested downgrades for as well.

Update:  Well, Dave Graham has also repeated A Simple Knowing according to 27Crags, and apparently he and Hukkataival both found and used some better beta which explains the downgrade a bit better.  Graham had this to say on his 8a scorecard:

Awesome prow climbing with big tension moves, ending in a legendary ninja swoop! Props to Paul for FA, its a great problem! Took me two sessions to put er down, grace of the left heal-toe cam we worked out with the posse. It definitely felt like 8b+, even with the new method.

Webb Warriors Up

Jimmy Webb has done the third ascent after Daniel Woods and Dave Graham of Warrior Up at Lincoln Lake, Mt. Evans, CO.  Woods and Graham proposed V15 for the line but as is often the case, Webb suggested on his 8a scorecard that the line might be a bit easier for someone with his height so he registered it at V14.
