August 28, 2022 - The devil's playground.

It doesn't happen a lot, but today Pieter came with a counter proposal to go Roche au Diable. Having never climbed there before, it was a proposal that I happily accepted. It turned out to be a fruitful session for both of us.
We warmed up with "Township".

Followed by "Nuage de Pluie", that I flashed with relative ease.

After many years of climbing together, Pieter has finally learned to use toehooks and seems to start being comfortable with it, to his advantage.

There was some confusion about how "Bushman" was going through the roof, and after we finally figured it out, I topped it out on my second attempt, soon followed by Pieter, again using toehooks to his advantage.

I had some fun starting in "Bushman" and traversing over to finish in "Capetown". Beautiful moves through that big roof.

The huge boulder really is a bouldering playground and I ended the session doing "Township" again, but this time starting more to the left, adding a couple of moves to tighten the difficulty a bit.
