Ascents in Magaliesberg as various tick types by Marc dM

Really fun. Will try leading it next time

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

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!

Second try did the job. Barely

pulling though the last 2m with a grunt

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" ;-)

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!

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.

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

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

First trad lead experience ! amazing !

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

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

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

Perfectly clean and solid rock all the way. good 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 ;-)

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

Lots of options

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

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

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