Not as good as 'Summer Glow' P2 way better than P1
	20	★★ Fanning the Flames - with Brent Russell	Trad 40m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 1st Sep 2022
Two good and distinct cruxes on P1. P2 more endurance. Worth doing.
	18	★★ Simmer - with Claire	Trad 40m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 3rd Sep 2022
P1, A really good crux on this pitch, but I would bump the grade to 16. P2 Really excellent climbing with a good crux.
	12 Hard	★★★ Stoker - with Megan	Trad 40m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 9th Aug 2023

	14	★★ Fully Cool 1 14 15m lead by Peter Hunter 2 13 20m lead by Peter Hunter	Trad 35m	★★ Very Good	Peter Hunter	Sun 21st Aug 2022
Found Pitch 1 hard and ended up traversing right of the awkward crux which needs a bit of gardening. Pitch 2 is pretty awesome climbing.
	14 Hard	★★ Fully Cool	Trad 35m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 8th Oct 2023
Another banger at this sector.
	12	★★★ Chilling Out - with Eyed0LL	Trad 35m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 1st Aug 2021

Hellfire Gates of Hell

High quality route on amazing rock.
	14 Hard	★★★ A Step from Hell - with Megan	Trad 28m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 1st Oct 2023
Really good line, large cams for brown groove will help.
	13 Hard	★★ Red Arête - with Carla Rohm	Trad 28m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 27th Aug 2023
The route is really good. Better than it looks from below. Definitely worth the effort.
	18	★★ Escape from Purgatory - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 28m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 17th Jul 2022
Great route with a good crux, def 2-3 grades harder if u are short.
	10	★ Uprising - with Eyed0LL	Trad 20m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 9th Dec 2023
Fun! Not the best rock, but if you are careful it is good for the grade.
	15	★★ Fall from Grace - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 18m		Cormac Tooze	Sat 6th Nov 2021
Climbs way better than it looks. Really enjoyable. We rapped off the tree.

	13	★★ Gomorrah - with Justine	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 14th Oct 2023
Fun to do a chimney route for a change, tests one in a different way.
	12 Hard	★★ Soddom	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 8th Oct 2023
Been wondering about this line for a long time. It's really good, with a large variety. Prob not the best easy climb for beginner leaders as some holds look suspect.
Hellfire Melting Pot
	17/18	★★ Synthesis - with M. Beaumont	Trad	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 2nd Oct 2022
Opened on-sight. Fought hard. Looked average from afar, but once below and then climbing it it turned out to be really good.
	18/19	★★ Cohesion - with Justine	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 14th Oct 2023
Opening new lines, whoop. Lekker crack.
	16	★ Bewitched	Sport 15m, 6		Alta Lourette	Thu 29th Apr 2021
A 16 with a crux 😆 Layback at the top
	16	★ Bewitched - with Brian Watts	Sport 15m, 6	Don't Bother	Cormac Tooze	Sat 9th Sep 2017
Had to think at top.
	19	★★ Fusion - with Brian Watts	Sport 12m, 5	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 9th Sep 2017
Sooo good!
Hellfire Brimstone Block
	15	★★ Firestraights - with Megan	Trad 14m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 1st Oct 2023
Good route, better than the left one. The crack can take loads of gear.
	15	★★ Firecracker - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 6th Nov 2021
Cool climb, textured rock, interesting gear.
	14 14 R	★ Fireworks - with Claire	Trad 20m	Average	Cormac Tooze	Sat 3rd Sep 2022
Only for the most devout route ticker. Not the best rock and big runout at the top. Only to be done if u need to get your heart racing.
	20	★★★ Heatstroke - with Claire	Trad 19m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sat 3rd Sep 2022
One of the best i've climbed there, in my best 10 routes list. Incredible route. Deserves 4 stars. I found it commiting with really good moves.
	20	★★★ Heatstroke - with Donny Brovado, Allan	Trad 19m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 11th Sep 2022
2nd time on the rouhe after getting shut down on the crux. Went easy today, stoked. Need to get onto harder things I guess. Really amazing climb.
	19	★★ Brimstone Backfire - with Donny Brovado	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 17th Jul 2022
Challenging/ hard and scary. Not the best rock in places. Had to take once as was super gripped, normally would go for it but the gear/ holds felt sketchy/ dangerous, best not take silly chances. The fact that I OS a 20 and 21 before might have lead to the energy drain, maybe. Will come back fresh to finish the job.
Hellfire Sulfur Sector
	17	★★ Fire Escape - with Aimee	Trad 15m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 14th Oct 2017
Really good with various styles of climbing.
	20/21 Hard	★★ Love Triangle From Hell - with Eyed0LL	Trad 25m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 17th Sep 2022
Had to work the crux a few times on top rope to get dialled. Could be harder than 20.
	13/14	★ Hot Head - with Eyed0LL	Trad 22m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 25th Sep 2022
Opened on-sight.
	15	★ Witblits - with Eyed0LL	Trad 22m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 25th Sep 2022
Eyed0LL did well on the on-sight lead/ opening. Tricky bottom.
	13/14	★ We Going Sizzler - with Eyed0LL	Trad 22m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 25th Sep 2022
Opened on-sight.
Hellfire Smokescreen Gully
	12	★★ Zippo - with Eyed0LL	Trad 8m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 9th May 2021
Good rock and fun
	18	★★★ Donner and Blitz-Variation - with Eyed0LL	Trad 10m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 10th Oct 2021
Great route, might be better than the right version.
	18	★★★ Donner und Blitz - with Brian Watts	Trad 10m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 11th Jul 2021
Committing, worth every star.
	14	★★ Light Up - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 5m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 6th Nov 2021
It's short, but worth it, committing!
	11 10	★ Jawz	Trad 13m	Average	Cormac Tooze	Sun 29th Apr 2018
Felt under graded.
	12	★★ Short Fuse - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 14m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 6th Nov 2021
Climbs way better than it looks.
	14	★★ Detonator - with Ryan	Trad 16m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 19th Jun 2021
Way better than what I was expecting, truely enjoyable. Worth repeating. Made u think at the grade.
	14	★★ Demolition	Trad 18m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 28th Oct 2017
Great for the grade!
	16	In the Nick of Time - with RIO 1	Trad 8m	Average	Cormac Tooze	Sun 29th Apr 2018
Only gets 3 stars when they come back to clean it. Dangerous too, loose blocks. Do that and it will be quite good. Traverse under roof is very good.
Hellfire Smokescreen Wall
	17	★★ Smokescreen-Variation B - with Donny Brovado, Eyed0LL	Trad 24m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 18th Sep 2021
Climbs way better than it looks. More psychological than physical. We did an alternate start as the original start did not appeal. I did that recently and it is very good.
	17	★★ Smokescreen - with Megan	Trad 26m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 9th Aug 2023
Really good technical climbing with good gear. Well graded at 17, not too taxing. Should get more traffic, climbs better than it looks.
	21	★★★ Up In Smoke - with Donny Brovado	Trad 34m	★★★ Mega Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sat 16th Jul 2022
Really amazing climbing. With 2 defined cruxes. Varied styles. Super rewarding.
	21	★★★ Up In Smoke - with Josh Sowter	Trad 34m		Ollie	Sun 24th Jul 2022
Cool route. Next time I'll give leading this a go.
	17	★★ Joker Smoker - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 36m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 15th Feb 2015
One of the best trad routes at its grade, nice and long too.
	17	★★ Joker Smoker - with Eyed0LL, Donny Brovado	Trad 36m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sat 18th Sep 2021
Repeat! Still excellent.
	17	★★ Joker Smoker	Trad 36m		Ollie	Sun 15th Aug 2021
Climbed with Megan. Great climb, grinning all the way.
	17	★★ Joker Smoker - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 36m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 17th Jul 2022
Aimee wanted another route before home. Climb in 16' used 12 pieces of gear. Amped!
	18 21	★★ Direct Hit - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 36m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 26th Jun 2022
Unusually soft, else being tall helped. Such good climbing, technical crux, very good gear. Highly recomended and worth repeating.
	16	★★ Crash Flash - with Aimée Chiat Hook	Trad 38m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 29th Aug 2021
Really good route, worth 4/5 not the three given in the book.
	20	★★ Still Smokin' - with Donny Brovado	Trad 37m	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Sat 16th Jul 2022
Great route!
	18	★★★ Red Hot Smoker - with Eyed0LL	Trad 43m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 10th Oct 2021

Power below, technical middle. High quality.
	22	★★★ Hot Flush - with Aimée Chiat Hook, Kevin	Sport 20m, 7	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sat 17th Jul 2021
Whoop. sent placing draws. Nice to get it done!
	22	★★★ Hot Flush	Sport 20m, 7		David	Sun 5th Jun 2022
So fun!
	22	★★★ Hot Flush - with Matthew Robinson	Sport 20m, 7		Ollie	Sat 13th Apr 2024
Retro flash. Tripped me up a few years ago. Felt good today. Dyno and fun techy sequence in one route. Rad.
	22	★★★ Heat Pulse - with Donny Brovado	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sat 3rd Apr 2021
One of the best at the crag.
	23	★★★ Heat Pulse	Sport 22m, 10		Alta Lourette	Thu 29th Apr 2021
Cool route, wild start 😝
	22	★★★ Heat Pulse	Sport 22m, 10	★★★ Classic	David	Sun 5th Jun 2022
Awesome!
	20	★★ Hot Box	Trad 40m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 31st Jul 2022
3 Star routes at this crag are 4/5 star elsewhere.Exceptional climb with some sport like moves. And some traditional trad moves too. A great mix. Fought hard for the onsight. Gear is good. Can't recommend it more.
	26	★★★ Take me to God Direct	Sport 20m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sun 8th Oct 2017
#2go 2 hard moves involving heel hooks. One big and one tricky. Very cool sequence.
	26	★★★ Take me to God	Sport 20m, 6	★★ Very Good	phlip olivier	Sun 8th Oct 2017
#2go Really cool jam crack after one hard move. Did it first go after doing the direct.
Hellfire The Pillar of Pain
	17	★★ Fear no Evil - with Donny Brovado	Trad 40m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 16th Jun 2022
Engaging/ amazing crux lower down, but the rest of the route after is quiet vanilla.
	15	★★ Lost in the Wilderness - with Megan	Trad 42m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 9th Aug 2023
Moses' Tablet is prob better. The last 2/5 of the route are the most testing.
	15	★★ Moses' Tablet - with Donny Brovado	Trad 42m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 16th Jun 2022
A good test.
	18 22	★ Anaesthesia - with Greg	Sport 22m, 8	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 22nd Nov 2020
Contrived!
	22	★ Anaesthesia	Sport 22m, 8		Ollie	Sat 4th Jun 2022
Didn't feel like a 22. If you go direct to chains using the small face crimps at the end before the chains, then you can make this a 21.
	22	★ Anaesthesia	Sport 22m, 8		David	Sat 4th Jun 2022
Cool crimping
	11	★★ Rapid Relief - with Donny Brovado	Trad 15m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Mon 8th Aug 2022
Quick way to get off pillar.
	19	★★ Painkiller - with Aimee	Trad 26m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 15th Feb 2015
2nd proper 19 OS on trad, supposedly hard 19 too. Better than Magnetic. Has a crack section that is uncharacteristic of SA climbing. So right up there with the best, Book gives it 4 stars but deserves 5. One of my new favorite routes!
	19	★★ Painkiller - with Josh Sowter	Trad 26m		Ollie	Sun 24th Jul 2022
Testing for a 19.
	23	★★ Blade Direct - with Woody	Sport 26m, 12	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 21st Aug 2022
Proper 23 move. Need to return stronger/ lighter.
	21	★★ Blade - with Greg	Sport 26m, 12	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 22nd Nov 2020
One of the best routes there.
	21	★★ Blade	Sport 26m, 12		David	Sat 4th Jun 2022
Spicy at the top
	21	★★ Blade - with Matthew Robinson	Sport 26m, 12		Ollie	Sat 13th Apr 2024
Slipped out of offwidth at start. Then went to chains. The undercling between bolt 1 and 2 is about to break, marked with an X. Stay in the offwidth as long as you can.
Hellfire Devils Tooth Boulder
	19	★★ Fang	Top rope 5m	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Sun 22nd Nov 2020
Top rope problem on Devils Tooth Boulder.
Hellfire Pit of Despair
	25	★★★ Wicked and Wild — 2 attempts	Sport 27m, 11	★★★ Classic	David	Thu 5th Jan 2023
Loved every move on this one!
	25	★★★ Venom	Sport 27m, 13	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sun 18th Oct 2015
Tricky at the bottom, fun at the top. Stoked on the onsight.
	25	★★★ Venom - with MJ	Sport 27m, 13		David	Wed 1st Jun 2022
Thanks MJ for hanging the draws. Pretty desperate but managed first go
	25	★★★ Wild Justice - with MJ	Sport 34m, 15	★★★ Classic	David	Wed 1st Jun 2022
2nd go. OS try fell at first move! After I figured that move out got the rest first try.
	22	★★★ Judge Dredd	Sport 27m, 11	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sat 28th Jul 2012
One tend to forget how long these routes at the Pit are. This one is pumpy and hard.
	23 22	★★★ Judge Dredd - with G. Hart	Sport 27m, 11	★★★ Mega Classic	Cormac Tooze	Wed 11th Nov 2020
I reckon it's 23. I've climbed over 50 22's now and this one is very hard for 22. We have added quiet a few new glue-in bolts for the run-out sections.
	22	★★★ Judge Dredd	Sport 27m, 11	★★★ Classic	James Mader	Sun 7th Nov 2021
This must be the hardest 22 in the Western Cape!
	22	★★★ Judge Dredd - with Aidan Bennetts	Sport 27m, 11		David	Wed 11th May 2022
If it was any more 22 it would be a 25 😂. Maybe I was tired at the end of the day but this route felt very hard for the grade
	20	★★★ Trials and Tribulations	Sport 26m, 13	★★★ Mega Classic	Robert Weyer	Sat 26th Nov 2005
very intimidating but superb route
	20	★★★ Trials and Tribulations	Sport 26m, 13	★★★ Mega Classic	Russell Warren	Sat 26th Nov 2005
Awesome changes in technique
	20	★★★ Trials and Tribulations	Sport 26m, 13	★★ Very Good	Gavin Tsang	Sun 18th May 2008
The best 20 in the Western Cape...
	20	★★★ Trials and Tribulations - with Aimee	Sport 26m, 13	★★★ Mega Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 15th Feb 2015
Must be top of its grade in the country!
	20	★★★ Trials and Tribulations - with Oliver Williams	Sport 26m, 13	★★★ Classic	Kimberly Burger	Sun 10th Oct 2021
Such fun, a real journey. Difficult crux!
