The Finn Nalle Hukkataival announces a very successful day on the rock in the South African Rocklands. He succeeds in the commission of five lines (8a to 8b) in one day.

Nalle is known to be an active explorer of new Boulder in the Rocklands (LACRUX reported). Together with the Swiss Giuliano Cameroni, the French Charles Albert and other friends, he devoted himself to the blocks in the sector Dangerzone. He took the ascent from Law and order (8a + / b), Tail of Caracal (8a) Big Lil 'Lies (8a Flash), Hipster whale (8a +), Dayless day (7c + first ascent). At the end of the day, the Finn still managed the first ascent of one of the hardest lines in the Dropzone sector: Hiding in the Shadows (8b).
