Our South African friend Justin Lawson told us that the 8c barrier has fallen even for a South African!

Justin Hawkins on Streetfinger (aka Two to win), 8c
ph: Scott Miller
On the 20th of October
Justin Hawkins redpointed
Streetfighter (a.k.a Two to Win) at Oudtshoorn.
Justin is the first South African to climb
8c grade!
The route which was originally a long standing project at Oudtshoorn (South Africa's only Limestone area) was bolted in 1997.
The route was listed as an open project and was
first redpointed by Grant Campbell from Canada in 2005.
