Near his home in Simon's Town, Emile Esterhuizen opened two really cool problems, "
Ooze smug" is a diagnal line crossing an overhanging face. Emile is always reluctant to grade anything so Marijus Šmigelskis tried the problem as well and reckons that 7C+ would be a conservative grade. Emile added "
Koi Kaze" 7B, to a roof further uphill, an amazing problem with a striking resemblance to the pocketed limestone roof Chris Sharma climbs in "Rampage". And, at Redhill, at the Mushroom area, he opened another roof problem which he named "
Zan Koku na Tenshi no Teeze" 7C, meaning "
Cruel Angel's Thesis" in Japanese.
