Sat 16th Jul 2022 - Waterval Boven
Tranquilitas Baboon Buttress
16 Grizzly Behr - with Hein Stapelberg Sport 9 Classic
Very fun little route. Used it as a cooldown after 6 long climbs at the disciple wall. Last route of the day, and it was a high note. Onsighted the little gem.

Tranquilitas The Disciple Wall
19 The day of the Triffids - with Hein Stapelberg Sport 25m, 14 Mega Classic
Second ascent of this route and sixth long climb on this day. Top roped to build some stamina on the sustained arm pump through the mid wall. Had to rest a lot and clean draws on the way up this top rope.

 
21 Goodwill van die Zoeloes - with Hein Stapelberg Sport 28m, 13 Classic
Fith climb of the day and a Great one at that. One tricky move mid way up the climb. Tricky because it is tough to see the sequence. Have to move to the right below the ledge and then get into a right-leaner side grip to move up the face without reaching over to the sarel seemonsters line. Grips are a bit thin, but quite manageable, sustained tension makes it a good ascent. Clipped into the top anchor while descending Brollocks to set up this top rope. Had to take quite a few times as this was my 5th long climb of the day and the pump was real.

Looking forward to smashing it next time.

 
19 The Day Of The Triffids - with Hein Stapelberg Sport 25m, 14 Mega Classic
Fourth and most Epic climb of the day! Long climb that tests the stamina. Awesome exposure on the flat face on the middle of this wall. Topped with an awesome view. Pulled rope through to lead with draws still in place. Had to take 2 or 3 times to alleviate forearm pump.

 
18 Last Supper - with Hein Stapelberg Sport 25m, 13 Good
Third climb of our day out. Care must be taken to keep just left of the obvious Gulley that runs just to the right of the climb. The Gulley makes the route too easy. The flat surface to the left of it has some fun moves. Pulled rope through to lead with draws still in place

 
18 Sarel Seemonster - with Hein Stapelberg Sport 28m, 12 Very Good
Second climb of the day. Fun climb. Good for warmup. Pulled rope through to lead with draws still in place

 
17 Lucy - with Hein Stapelberg Sport 25m, 12 Very Good
First climb of our day out. Good warmup climb. Decent crux at the top of this climb. Pulled rope through to lead with draws still in place.

15 The Fallen Boot - with Harry Maarsingh Sport 19m, 12 Very Good
15 The Fallen Boot - with Harry Maarsingh Sport 19m, 12 Very Good
16 Gunning for Crows - with Harry Maarsingh Sport 20m, 12 Good
Second time doing this time but my first time leading it. I must admit that climbing with the rope out of site really does tighten up your movements. Climb didn't feel quite as easy as I remembered it being.

 
17 Tom's Cruise - with Harry Maarsingh Sport 12m, 8 Good
Second time leading a climb. Started getting a bit of a pump going.

 
17 Kate's Moss - with Harry Maarsingh Sport 12m, 8 Very Good
First time leading a climb. Epic experience

Tonquani-Cedarberg Complex Upper Tonquani Kloof
17 The Moke - with Hein Stapelberg Trad 45m Classic
Awesome climb. Was helping Benj up the climb (young climbing prodigy). It was so much fun scaling the rock with this little champion on my shoulders at various points along the route. I definitely put tension on the rope while boosting him up to a few holds but never felt that I wasn't fully supporting myself or carrying myself on the rock.

 
Sat 4th Jun 2022 - Bronkhorstspruit Crag
20 George's Bush Sport 18m, 11 Good
Fourth and last climb of the day. A tough one (by my standards) to end my first ever sport climbing experience. The bug has bitten

 
18 Venus Fly Trap Sport 12m, 9 Good
Third ever sport climb.

 
16 Gunning for Crows Sport 20m, 12 Good
Second ever sport climb. Really getting into this!

 
15 The Fallen Boot Sport 19m, 12 Very Good
First ever sport climb. Such a treat!

 
Mon 30th May 2022 - Magaliesberg
Tonquani-Cedarberg Complex Upper Tonquani Kloof
15 Right Corner Overhang - with Hein Stapelberg Trad 40m Very Good
First ever outdoor climbing experience and of course my first ever trad experience. Smashed my headlamp at the start of the climb so I climbed this guy mostly in the dark. Was really an epic experience. This climb hit me like an infectious disease. Immediately started buying my own kit after this climb.
