	23	★★ Quake 1 21 18m 2 19 30m lead by Cormac Tooze 3 23 30m	Trad 78m	Table Mountain	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Tue 10th Feb 2015
First 19 OS on trad. Used this pitch to go directly to stance for Magnetic, nice and direct option, saves time.
	17	★★★ Oddshouter's Outing - with Daniel Rimbault, Don 3 16 20 Second lead by Don 4 17 25 Trad lead by MarkSurfi 5 16 25 Trad lead by MarkSurfi Last pitch was a link up with Squeekers. After rock fall on flaky dog, skiped crux. Hoping it will be safe next time to attempt an onsight.	Trad 70m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	MarkSurfi	Sun 13th Nov 2022
	21	★★★ Farewell to Arms 1 19 20m lead by Cormac Tooze 2 21 20m 3 21 10m lead by Cormac Tooze 4 21 25m	Trad 75m	Table Mountain	★★★ Mega Classic	Cormac Tooze	Mon 22nd Feb 2016
Next level route, with stellar cruxes I lead P1 & P3.
	20	★★★ Roulette (Roulette Linkup Jacob's Ladder) - with Josh Sowter 1 16 23m 2 20 20m 3 20 10m 5 16 40m linkup Jacob's Ladder	Trad 93m	Table Mountain		Ollie	Sun 21st Nov 2021
Lead P1, the 17/18 variation that Anton / Ryan suggested. Found the start fairly easy and really enjoyed this pitch. Things didn't go so well after that. Mist and cold came in and got the full TM experience. Kind of turned into a bail up exercise.
	21	★★★ Triple Indirect - with Simon Larsen 1 20 25m lead by Timothy Larsen 2 16 17m lead by Simon Larsen 3 21 25m lead by Timothy Larsen 4 19 35m lead by Simon Larsen	Trad 100m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Timothy Larsen	Sun 10th Oct 2021

Onsighted P1 / P2, followed P3 clean and P4 took a fall working out the crux on top rope. The 21 Boltergeist finish is quite full on
	19	★★ Cretin 1 16 15m 2 17 25m 3 19 8m 4 16 12m	Trad 60m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	Renato da Costa	Sat 12th Oct 2019
	19	★★★ El Matador - with Simon 1 15 20m 2 17 15m 3 19 20m	Trad 55m	Table Mountain		Ollie	Thu 5th Nov 2020
Lead and linked P1 and P2. The 17 P2 felt fine, hauling on jugs through a roof although they were kind of thin flake jugs. Hanging belay stance, first time I did this and I felt I set it up very well, coiling the rope over the clove hitched rope. Lovely to climb with two ropes again, so much easier. I got hit with a small stone in the cheek, really surprised this didn't hurt more or draw blood.
	18	★★ Finalé (Finalé Linkup Fountain edge) 1 18 30m 2 16 20m 3 14 15m linkup Fountain edge	Trad 65m	Table Mountain		MarkSurfi	Sun 27th Feb 2022
	18	★★★ Atlantic Crag - with Phil 1 18 18m 2 14 20m 3 11 3m 4 14 30m 5 15 12m 6 18 10m 7	Trad 93m	Table Mountain	★★★ Mega Classic	Ollie	Sun 19th Jul 2020
Took sailor Phil (USA) for his first outing on TM. First time climbing together, made a good team. Did the route clean with no hangs or falls. I lead the first 18 and Phil lead the 18 crux pitch. My favourite pitch was the 14 open book, crack, flake (14?). I had seconded P1 and P2 with Simon before, we bailed as the wind picked up and it was nearing the end of the day.
	18	★★ Finalé - with Simon 1 18 30m 2 16 20m 3 17 15m	Trad 65m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Ollie	Sun 5th Dec 2021
First two pitches. I shied away from the onsight because everyone had said it was sandbagged and full on and I wasn't really that psyched. I found this very easy on a top rope. I didn't really get what everyone had been saying about the thin fingers (too small to get fingers into) it all seemed like jugs. Actually kind of confusing. But I was only in the passenger seat.
	18	★★★ Atlantic Crag (Atlantic Crag Linkup oddshouter) - with Simon Larsen 1 18 18m linkup oddshouter , lead by Timothy Larsen 2 14 20m lead by Simon Larsen 3 11 3m lead by Timothy Larsen 4 14 30m lead by Simon Larsen	Trad 71m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Timothy Larsen	Sun 10th Oct 2021
	17	★★ Maid Marion - with Christo 1 14 20m 2 16 10m 3 17 12m 4 16 25m	Trad 67m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	Renato da Costa	Sat 1st Jun 2019

	17	★★ Maid Marion - with Simon 1 14 25m 2 16 10m 3 17 15m 4 14 20m	Trad 70m	Table Mountain		Ollie	Thu 5th Nov 2020
Linked P1 and P2. I backed off P2, couldn't see the line through that weird block. Was fine when I seconded and saw the hold. Didn't like this pitch though, lots of blocks wobbled and moved around. P3 and 17 quite weird trad style climbing. Also missed a key handhold. Not sure I'd recommend this route, felt quite grotty.
	17	★★★ Escalator - with Josh Sowter 1 17 23m 2 14 23m 3 16 16m	Trad 62m	Table Mountain		Ollie	Sat 21st Nov 2020
Lead P2 and P3 clean. Backed off P1, didn’t like that weird chimney roof thing so low to the deck. P3 was quite complex with ropework but got that right. I really prefer leading with two ropes, extending everything on a single becomes a bit of a PITA.
	17	★★★ Escalator (Escalator Linkup Haggai) - with Amber Goldberg 1 17 23m lead by MarkSurfi 2 17 23m linkup Haggai , lead by MarkSurfi 3 16 16m linkup Fountain Edge , lead by MarkSurfi	Trad 62m	Table Mountain		MarkSurfi	Mon 17th Oct 2022

Nervous, looked huge when looking up. But was actually pretty chill. Found some low grade trad style climbing much harder than it should be e.g. chimneys. Good early trad experience. Started climbing at 07h30 and topped out at 12h30.
	16	★★★ Jacob's Ladder - with Catherine Honegger 1 16 25m lead by Catherine Honegger 2 16 25m lead by MarkSurfi 3 16 20m lead by Catherine Honegger	Trad 70m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	MarkSurfi	Sun 10th Oct 2021

	14	★★ Coin de Rocher - with Simon 1 12 18m 2 14 20m 3 13 15m 4 13 10m	Trad 63m	Table Mountain	★ Good	Ollie	Thu 4th Jun 2020
First climb back after lockdown. Grade is sandbagged, nice adventure climbing going up via ledges scramble.

	20	★★ Last Three Inches - with Michael Champanis 3 19 35 Second lead by Mike This pitch keeps on giving, two offwidths, two tricky traverses, it is full on. It warrants a R rating unless you bring larger cams, which we did. First outing for the #8! Would probably be fine with just a #5/#6 instead. Solid lead by Mike, I was glad to follow after taking a nasty fall on this pitch a few month back. 4 20 10 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber Reachy move through the roof to reach a thank god jug. 5 18 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber Finished off the last pitch of Atlantic Crag.	Trad 45m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Fernand Sieber	Tue 30th Jan 2024
Classic. Some of the best crack climbing I have done on the ledge. We skipped the bottom pitches as we were a bit short on time.

ballsy starting moves for the first 2 pitches after which we went straight for the AB chains which may have made the journey a bit more spicy (Vapour Trail 2 last pitches). "Bomber" Trad

A contrived variation (direct) of 'Mandela Magic' Did not seem as difficult as the proposed 21, maybe because I am tall. I would grade 18/19 to chains and 20 if you top out beyond, shorter people could add a grade.
