Phlip Olivier and Mike have been created the Fairytale link (challenge) at Paarl Rock, South Africa.
Ther fairytale link consists of:
Belly Button, 2 pitches
Sands of Time, last 3 pitches
Ugly Duckling, 2 pitches
Little Dutch Boy, 3 pitches
Episode 1: --> https://youtu.be/x47zOrVa9Ao?si=eY2nlSteBpjVbVwi
Fairytale link in 2h20, Paarl Rock, Sourh Africa
We had another go at it. This time doing the entire link, including Little Duch Boy and still shaving off 27min from our previous time.
Unfortunately the camera froze half way through, so we didn't get to document any of the last two routes, Ugly Duckling and Little Dutch Boy.
Episode 2: --> https://youtu.be/X3c0lRfTq7Y?si=KitgBg225NxOW2k0
Episode 3: Fairytale link in 1h41, Paarl Rock, Sourh Africa
This time shaving almost 40min off our previous time.

So just a few pieces of info for people perhaps keen to go for it:
- We timed it from car to car, or top parking to top parking.
- No prepping of any routes or rap lines or stashing of gear before hand.
- Everything you take with, you need to bring back.
