DPM caught up with Paul Robinson who spent the past couple of months exploring a newer area in South Africa called Three Corners:
On my fourth trip [to South Africa], I was told vaguely about some boulders in the middle Cederberg and wanted to go see what I could find. I drove out there with the “Chasing Winter” crew (Carlo Traversi, Ashima Shiraishi) and we spent a few days hiking and exploring the zone. I didn’t really have the eye then to see the potential that I did this past trip. I am so glad I gave the area another chance because in 2012 when I went, I wasn’t able to see the massive potential of the area.
The potential he found included the problem pictured below called In the Depths of Solitude which could be as hard as V15. In addition, Robinson opened a slew of other double digit problem including three V13s and a good number of more moderate problems as well.
Everyone who is anyone has been in South Africa the past couple months, and 13-year-old Mirko Caballero is among those who have been pushing their limits in Rocklands.
Busy week for 13-year-old Ashima Shiraishi in Rocklands, South Africa
It was a busy week for women repeating V13s as Brooke Raboutou, Shauna Coxsey and Alex Puccio all added a v13 (or two) to their ticklists
