Climbing in Rocklands

Rocklands is presented across three free films that together capture why climbers keep returning to the Cederberg: a productive season log, an honest trip film, and a concise field report. Jimmy Webb’s A Good Season records a concentrated campaign in the sandstone valley, listing four 8C boulders and multiple first ascents and showing Webb’s patient, crimpy approach across long project periods. That film reads like a tally of work as much as a highlight reel.

A Month In Rocklands with Kyra Condie widens the view to life around a season: projects on problems such as Basic Instinct, The Beaten Path and L'Arch, detours to Cape Town, and off‑rock moments — dogs at the hen house, braais, and rest‑day routines — so you see why seasons often leave climbers with more projects than sends. The short Louder Than Eleven piece with Jorg Verhoeven, Katha Saurwein and Jon Glassberg acts as a movement primer: it strings together attempts on classic problems like Golden Shadow, El Corazon, Armed Response, Moiste Maisie and Ray of Light to show the area’s range from steep cave power to technical crimpy lines. Together these uploads offer a clear sense of Rocklands’ variety, the logistics of extended seasons, and on‑the‑rock tactics for high‑end bouldering in South Africa.
