The Finn Nalle Hukkataival announces the first ascent of the heaviest boulder in the Rocklands: The Finnish Line (8c or heavier) in the sector Coop.

Nalle Hukkataival has the heaviest boulder (or Fontainebleau course) climbed most of the planet's territory and committed the world's first 9a boulder at the end of last year (LACRUX reported). Now he announces the ascent of a boulder that is "a contender for the hardest Rocklands boulder".

He comments on the new line in the South African bouldering mecca as follows: “Some climbs you remember for the rest of your life. First ascent of The Finnish Line at the Coop! A gem rarer than diamonds and a new contender for the toughest in Rocklands! ". We hope a video will follow soon.
