Julia Wakeling posted a blog postArms Race (23, 21, 22)
I’d seen that photo on ClimbZA of Dark Horse looking stylish and bad-ass on Arms Race (pic below, taken by Jeremy Samson). A while later, Clinton suggested I go try and on-sight it. Cobus was keen for his “weekly dose of fear on TM”, so a little while ago off we went. I knew nothing of the route, other than what was in the route guide and the fact that it was called “Arms Race”. I suspected that there was going to be a massive trade-off between placing gear while getting super pumped and…See More

Julia Wakeling posted a blog postYosemite: The first 3 days
Arrived SUPER excited and fell asleep, totally blown from only 6hrs sleep during the 57hrs of travelling. Urgh. How long does it take to get to the Cederberg again? Clinton and I did get an afternoon climb in...Serenity Crack, a relatively easy classic. Hot, but really beautiful, and awesome to get moving again after the flights, busses, trains etc! Got back to camp to find Gosia, Hector, Rushad and Andrew...let the festivities begin! They're already well warmed up (had just done the…See More
Julia Wakeling posted a blog postMischief, pure mischief
The first time I went to Oorlogskloof (near Montagu) was about four years ago to belay Clinton on The Dream I Knew. It turned into a marathon belay session and after several hours I was cold, hungry and desperately needed to pee. I was grumpy and never even glanced at Mischief and Thuggery. …See More
