Boothill | |||||
23 | ★★★ Flashpoint
Takes a direct line up the centre of the wall right of the gully. Start between the large crack to the right and the layback crack to the left. Climb up to a bolt, and then straight up past several rails to a peg. Climb directly up and through the top bulge to exit. Fortunately a chain anchor has recently been placed at the top of this line so climbers no longer have the almost impossible, sloping and grass covered exit. However, one needs to rap down to get to the anchors to thread. Not as much of a mission as it sounds, and well worth it. Without a doubt one of the best routes in Kloof Gorge.
FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton & Ron Uken, 1989 | ||||
17 | ★★ C’est la Bon
From the platform at the end of the buttress climb the crack in the middle of the face for three metres and then move diagonally right. Traverse left for two metres to below the obvious crack and follow this to the top. This little number is no push over and has sent more than one hard man tumbling in the wrong direction.
FA: Brett Clark & Andrew Russel-Boulton, 1989 | ||||
19 | ★★ Liquid Desire
Climbs the face and cracks between C’est la Bon and Alien sex Fiend. Step down from the blocks and onto the face. Climb up the face past two pegs to a rail. Follow the cracks to the top.
FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton & Brett Clark, 1989 | 15m | |||
21 | ★ Alien Sex Fiend
Climbs the arête to the left of C’est la Bon. The first few metres are contrived and can be avoided by stepping off the blocks below the platform. * A truly magnificent route if you avoid all temptations to move onto better holds on Liquid Desire. Top moves are committing and fantastic. FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton & Brett Clark, 1989 | ||||
25 | ★ Little R gets his Botty Spanked
This route breaks through the roof right of the caves found on the lower walk in. Climb through the roof right of the caves and up to a cubbyhole. Powerful moves take you out and around the next roof. Continue to the top. FA: B. Cooke & A. Alcock, 1993 | ||||
13 | ★ Shapimus Minimus
From the end of the buttress traverse out right on an easy slab below the roof. Climb up and into the corner. Climb this to a ledge. Move right around the arête and climb straight up.
FA: B. Clarke, 1989 | ||||
20 | ★ Nights of white satin
Climb the break left of Little “R”. Two pegs FA: B. Cooke & A. Alcock, 1993 | ||||
23 | ★★★ The love Drug
Takes the arête right of “Little R”. Follow the bolts, generally staying right of the arête.
FA: B.Cooke & A. Alcock, 1993 | ||||
17 | ★ The Dark Side
Immediately below the top out of Shapimus Minimus is an obvious crack line (ie 3m uphill from the arête upstream of the lunch blocks). Take this to the ledge and follow the crack up to the SM exit face. Better than it looks, pro is good. Always in the shade. | ||||
12 | Kotchimus Maximus
Climb as for SM to the ledge. Walk to the left and finish up corner.
FA: B. Clarke, 1989 | ||||
24 | ★★ Dynamatic
A short but good problem. Start below the roof just right of C’est La Bon. Climb straight through the middle of the roof then directly up the face on some dinky little holds. A no 1 friend protects the roof move. Thereafter gear is thin. Quite scary and seen only 6 ascents as far as I know. FA: Gerald Camp & D. vd Riet, 1989 | ||||
23 | ★★ Mango Move
Start just right of C’est La Bon and climb diagonally right to a peg above the roof. Continue right to the peg on Dynamatic and finish up the wall above. FA: Charl Brummer, 1989 | ||||
16 | ★ Pierre’s line
Up face just left of ASF arête to large ledge (shared with Remedial Interruption). This face start allows a separate line to RI (but is more commonly climbed as a variation to RI). 5m up face just to right of Remedial interruption crack (use crack for pro) and then layback strenuously into the obvious fist crack which tends to the right. 22m. | ||||
15 | ★★ Remedial Interruption
Climb the crack in the corner two metres to the left of Alien Sex Fiend to a large ledge. Climb the corner to the top.
FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton & Brett Clark | ||||
23 | ★★ Midnight Madness
Start on the ledge at the base of Remedial Interruption. Climb straight up the face and up the thin seam past a peg. Avoid moving left onto Terminal Frost. FA: D. vd Riet & Gerald Camp, 1989 | ||||
21 | ★★ Terminal Frost
Start on the ledge at the base of Remedial Interruption. Move out left onto the face and then up just right of the small roof. Climb straight up the wall passing well left of the peg on Midnight Madness. Continue up the grey rock on good holds to a tricky exit. This route passes close to Cowgirl Blues. FA: gcamp & D. vd Riet, 1989 | ||||
18 | ★★ Cowgirl Blues
Start at the base of the blocky corner to the right of Running on Empty. Climb up the corner to a good rest. Move a little left then up to a thin rail and then directly up the dark brown streak. Exit to the left on the clean rock.
FA: Gerald Camp, 1989 | ||||
20 | ★★★ Running on empty
Climbs through the roofs and onto the face left of Remedial Interruption. Climb up some blocks to reach a crack in the corner below the roofs. Climb up to below the highest roof and then move around the corner onto the face. Climb straight up the face.
FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton & Brett Clark, 1989 | ||||
22 | Time and arms delay
Start at the base of running on empty. Climb diagonally left across the blankish face up to the ledge which is visible. Gear is not that great.
FA: Gerald Camp, 1991 | ||||
23 | ★★★ Glory daze
Climbs the centre of the next clean face to the left of Running on Empty. Starting just left of the lower roofs, pull up on jugs to start (roof one metre off ground). Climb up over a loose flake to a short open book above. Break through the roof where a block has fallen out (peg). Climb directly through the bulge above, exiting up the crack. * There is an aid route to the right of the next route that goes through the large roof and onto the superb face above. Opened by Gerald Camp using 2 nut scratchers for hooks! FA: Brett Clark & Andrew Russel-Boulton, 1989 | ||||
21 | ★★ Living with the grannies
Start one metre to the right of Post Nasal Drip. Climb directly up and through the roofs immediately left of the huge roof. On up to a wide rail then a little right to follow the break of layaways. * Gives one the opportunity to climb the great wall above not accessed via other routes. FA: Gerald Camp & Ian Wallace, 1991 | ||||
16 | ★★★ Post nasal drip
Start just left of the big roof. Pull up on good holds on the corner and then move up and slightly left to the base of a short ramp. Follow the obvious break/crack to the top.
FA: Gerald Camp & B. Clarke, 1989 | ||||
17 | ★★ An end to innocence
Start about two metres to the left of Post Nasal Drip. After a cranky start climb up the face to the base of an obvious openbook. At the top of this move out left to finish on a grassy ledge.
FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton, 1989 | ||||
21 | ★★★ Vagina dentata
Starts just left of Flashpoint. Climb straight up the face, moving slightly right near the top to a second set of chain anchors, place slightly lower than those on Flashpoint. * a piton is visible from the ground. FA: B. Clarke, 1989 | ||||
17 | ★★ A Family Affair
Climbs the blocky and overhanging corner left of Vagina Dentata. The start is located by a blade peg very close to the ground. Apparently its much better than it looks. * It is definately better than it looks. FA: Charl Brummer, 1990 | ||||
16 | ★ Poer-poer
From the Bare Essentials ledge traverse out right to the top of the large pinnacle on the skyline. Continue up to the peg (on the left) and exit out right. FA: Steve Salmon & B. Scott, 1989 | ||||
15 | ★ Poer-poer’s Revenge
From the pinnacle on Poer-Poer continue up to the ledge to the right of the layback crack above. Finish straight up without using the layback crack. *Although not as difficult as "Poer-poer", a slightly better climb. FA: B. Clarke & M. Sutherland, 1990 | ||||
14 | ★ Solitaire
Scramble up onto the big grassy ledge about thirty metres past the big crack. Climb the crack/flakes on the right of the ledge, starting behind the tree in the corner.
FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton, 1989 | ||||
16 | ★★ Drop the Pilot
Start two metres right of Learning to Fly. Climb straight up the recess and over the chockstone. Be careful with the “not so chocked” chockstone. FA: B. Scott & A. Haliburton, 1990 | ||||
21 | ★★ Learning to fly
Starts one metre to the right of the Bare Essentials. Climb straight up to a peg which is passed on its left. Continue up then exit right on small holds. FA: A. Haliburton, 1990 | ||||

FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton, 1989 | ||||
16 | ★ The Bare Necessities
A direct variation of the Bare Essentials. Start two metres left of the big crack and climb up past a peg to join the other line at the left hand end of the ledge. FA: A. Haliburton, 1989 | ||||
21 | ★★ Stalakdrama
Start left of the Bare Essentials in the middle of a short overhanging face. A boulder problem start leads to easier climbing on the ramp above. Continue up the face to the top keeping to the right of the arête. * Trust your gear placing skill or don’t climb it. FA: Gerald Camp & B. Clarke, 1989 | ||||
27 | ★★★ The Whisper
Climbs the smooth wall right of the Scream. Climb directly up the face to two adjacently placed bolts. Thin moves take you past the bolts and into a scary leadout. A great route which may have additional bolts and anchors in the not too distant future. FA: Andrew Russel-Boulton, 1990 | ||||
25 | ★★★ The Scream
Climbs the wall to the right of Signing Off. Start on the small ledge just to the left of the tree and follow the thin seam past a peg and a fixed wire to an abseil point on the tree above. (Bolted now).
FA: Gerald Camp, 1989 | ||||
18 | ★★★ Signing Off
Climbs the crack up the obvious openbook around the corner from the grassy ledge. Above the route is a tree with a rock embedded in a fork. This makes a handy abseil point to reach the ledge.
FA: A. Russell-Bouton & B. Clarke, 1989 | ||||
27 | The Super Final
Somewhere between Signing Off and Tuxedo Junction. FA: Wiercx (during competition on pre-placed gear), 1990 | ||||
21 | ★★ Tuxedo Junction
Climb the crack up the centre of the face to the left of Signing Off. *Outstanding – sustained, very well protected from crack which starts about 1/3 way up. Small cams in horizontal slot and small wires in back of a flare might work before that. FA: B. Clarke & Gerald Camp, 1989 | ||||
The Canyon The "This and That" Wall | |||||
27 | ★★ Inferno
This line follows the natural break to the right of 'Mantra'. This pumper has huge buckets that you won't believe you fell off. It is protected by two bolts and Rocks # 2, 7 and 5. The crux of this firey pump is is hanging in there for the last few moves. This route is often damp. FA: Roger Nattrass, 1991 | 2 | |||
24 | ★★ The Contortionist
This steep line is the left-hand line found on the short wall at the base of the scramble. It is largely protected by wires but has a single bolt to protect the crux. Powerful climbing on clean rock leads to a crux which lives up to the route's name. This route is seldom climbed. FA: Craig Robertson, 1993 | 1 | |||
25 | ★ Communique
This was the first route opened at the "This and That" wall. It is three metres left of the scramble. Easy climbing on interesting holds leads to a single bolt below a contorted crux which is protected by smaller wires. Medium cams are required for the start. FA: Gerald Camp, 1989 | 1 | |||
