Bouldering News, Big Sends!

Canadians are a presence in busy Rocklands while Megos sends Wheel of Life

Canadian Josh Muller recently left Rocklands, South Africa, after a successful trip. In June, we reported that he climbed King of Limbs, V14. During the remainder of his stay he climbed two more V14s, Mooiste Maise and Madiba, and one V13, Black Shadow.
Dave Heerema, another strong Canadian boulderer, arrived in Rocklands as Muller was leaving. Since arriving, Heerema has climbed two V11s, Black Velvet and Pendragon.

In other bouldering news Alexander Megos, currently on a two month trip to Australia, has made a repeat of Dai Koyamada’s 65-move, The Wheel of Life, 8c/9a+, in the Hollow Mountain Cave, Grampians. Megos had his first session in the Cave last week, climbing Cave Rave (V13) three times, before coming back for his second session on Saturday when he completed the full Wheel of Life on his third attempt of the day. He also did Stimulation, 8b, in a few tries.
