Caroline

V10, Boulder, 12 ft (4 m),  Avg: 4 from 6 votes
FA: Fred Nicole, 1996
International > Africa > S Africa > Rocklands > Pakhuis Pass > Rdside

Description

Sit start using the scaly twin crack systems and climb straight up using a series of pinches and side-pull crimps. This boulder is absolutely beautiful and has a clean, steep, angle. A truly classic line.

Location

Follow the well trodden trail that goes around the left side of the Question of Balance Boulder. Continue to stay left and follow the trail 10 to 15 meters up hill, passing the obvious high ball, Creaking Heights, on your left. Caroline will be on your right hand side obscured by a thicket of trees.

Protection

2 pads and a spotter, especially for the tree trunk.
