Does anyone know where Second Coming goes? Anyone prepared to sketch in the stances / correct lines?



Hang on a sec, am I missing something here. Why has nothing been said about the fact that Second Coming has been RETRO-BOLTED? And why has it been renamed if new bolts were added? Was permission given for the bolts?Hilton wrote:Nice pictures Greg.
Tony Dick and Dave Davies established Second Coming as a free onsight opening ascent about 15 years ago. It has now recently been opened again and had 8 bolts put in it via toprope by the young Germans who called it Fighting the Dark Side of Gravity.
yeah, agree with you. it just seems there are a bunch of routes around that even very few South Africans know about (or am I wrong?) - hence the need for a resource to indicate routes and no-bolt zones in areas like yellowwood. are the MCSA records complete in the sense that it would accurately indicate this route? if "yes" then to the frying pan with ze germansStu wrote:@ Mokganjetsi What are the chances those guys found out about Yellowwood by chance, surely there was some local involvement. And if you travelled to a foreign country wouldn't you contact the locals when considering placing bolts?
Speaking of which, wasn't Tony Lourens supposed to be compiling a Country Routes guide? Any word on that? Which reminds that I have a few topo's lying around that I'll put up as well (that were suppose to be merged into a long since abandoned guide...)XMod wrote:Whilst I still believe actual RDs and topos should be the province of guidebook authors the basic info needs to be super accessible and obvious
