\n
\nIn June 2014, Caroline Ciavaldini and James Pearson set off to discover Trad In Rocklands. \u00a0Originally in search of hard, \u201ccutting edge\u201d new routes, what the couple discovered is perhaps even more valuable! \u00a0An almost unlimited potential for Trad development, with 1,000\u2019s of new routes to climb! \u00a0In three weeks the pair barely scratched the surface, but if one thing was clear, it was that this amazing place, a place we all thought we knew, has so much more to give\u2026as you can discover by yourself in the video \u201cRocklands: a trad diary\u201d produced by La Sportiva.\u00a0
