Ascents in Magaliesberg as various tick types by Marc dM

Gear is present but not plentiful, and nothing below the roof (maybe a micronut). roof easyly bypassed to the right with gear ; and nice roof move... for the second.

Perfectly clean and solid rock all the way. good gear.

Excellent trady and technical. but goes straight through the baboon toilet, and has quite a few "glassy polished" sections. Would still do it again.

P1 scrambled from the left, p3&4 linked.

P2 stance has 1 seat to belay from, other party members are semi-hanging. P3 has a committing section with little gear (2 features to slings)

solid at the grade!

Little gear on second half of the first slab. Great exposure after traverse to the left, where a piton is most welcome. Plenty good gear in the book. The left ending is really easy, i wish i had gone right on the face... but felt better "cheating" ;-)

Lots of options

Interesting rope management exercise. Especially at 4 people & 3 ropes on the pinnacle.

Linked pitches 2 & 3. The "onderstebo" move is definitely very awkward and harder than 13. The rest is easy.

Abbed at the tree after Pitch 1, last climb of theday and the rest was in the sun. Great slab pitch !

Via the variation first pitch, skipping most of the second pitch. Third pitch very clean and nice headwall, but sparse with gear.

Assumed route taken by mistake with missplaced stance on large ledge before 6m right traverse. Will check again trying to do other routes around it ;-)

Classic for the eye itself, but 2 third of the climbing is crap

pulling though the last 2m with a grunt

Second try did the job. Barely

Really fun. Will try leading it next time

2nd Party of 3, leading on gear left by Ruan after he threw back the rope

Built my stance on the wrong "obvious block" after turning around the corner : do yourself a favor and use the one 2m above with a piton

Did the alternative version, but the "good crack" was on the left face? Amazing anyways.

First pitch poor gear and glassy smooth section. Bring down the star rating by one. Pitch 2 is nicer, with a funky move around the nose. Pitch 3 really good!

First trad lead experience ! amazing !

Really fun end, turning the corner reveals so many cool features!
