Topside Ground Swell
	7B Easy	★★ Shark Biscuit - with kai samulson	Boulder	★★ Very Good	Drew Olden	Fri 23rd Sep 2022
Bump last move. Makes chilled
	8B	Ground Swell	Boulder		Carlo Denali Traversi	Sun 15th Jul 2012
The incredible rail project. Cray beta. Twist like a pretzel. Sit start with the flat undercling at the bottom of the wall and climb straight up and out. So psyched to finish this one! One of my prouder first ascents. FA
Topside The Asylum Bertie's Balcony
	7C	★★★ Bertie's Bad Trip - with kai and stephen	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Drew Olden	Sat 4th Feb 2023
Like this. One of the best around.
	7C+	Extraterrestrial	Boulder		Guy Paterson-Jones	Sun 13th Aug 2023
Sick roof.
Topside The Darkside It's a Wrap

You guessed, I dorked the flash again
	7A	★★ It's a Wrap Stand	Boulder	★★ Very Good	Tim Trewartha	Sat 23rd Mar 2024
Pretty cool route, keen to try the sit next time. Pinch felt hard to hit high enough.
Topside The Darkside Low Down and Dirty
	7B+/C ~7C	★★★ Killdozer (dup) — 3 attempts - with colt	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Drew Olden	Wed 9th Aug 2023
Almost flashed

	7C+	Drag King	Boulder		Guy Paterson-Jones	Wed 22nd Feb 2023
'ard start!
	7B+ Hard	★★★ Drag Queen — 2 attempts	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Drew Olden	Sat 19th Aug 2023
One of the best climbs I’ve done in topside
Topside The Darkside Warmup Cave
	7A	★★★ Ghost Brush - with Guy Paterson-Jones	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Thomas Horn	Sat 8th Oct 2022
Cool sloper crux at the end, tricky top out
	7A	★★★ Ghost Brush — 3 attempts	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Chris Oosthuizen	Fri 23rd Dec 2022
If a big move or dyno is used to reach top out sloper with left hand from the undercling, then it is a hard 7A. If the right drop knee is used to reach slopey crimp near crack with right hand before the aforementioned, then it is a soft 7A. Therefore 7A is good middle ground rating.
Topside St. James' Park
	7B	★★★ Aštuoniolika - with patrick	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Drew Olden	Sat 15th Apr 2023
Souldaflashed
	7B Easy	★★★ Aštuoniolika	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Seth Donald	Sun 10th Mar 2024

Topside St. James' Park Choc Kits
	8A 8A/A+	Choc Kits	Boulder		Carlo Denali Traversi	Thu 28th Jun 2012
2nd Ascent. Right after P Rob established it. Sick little roof with some crazy holds and crazy moves. Cray! Soft
Topside St. James' Park Honig
	8A+	★★★ Honig	Boulder		Carlo Denali Traversi	Mon 2nd Jul 2012
2nd Ascent. Thought it was going to be impossible for me until I found two perfect feet for the crux move. Tension! Really psyched on this one.
Topside St. James' Park Durbanville Twins
	7B	★★ Triplets of Belleville — 5 attempts - with javi, zoe, hanna	Boulder	★★ Very Good	Matthew Robinson	Sat 17th Feb 2024

Floaty
	8A	★★★ Marlboro Man	Boulder		Carlo Denali Traversi	Thu 21st Jun 2012
Personal grade. Morphotype, but figured out some epic beta for the shorties. Perfect stone.
	8A	★★★ Marlboro Man	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Seth Donald	Sat 10th Feb 2024
First 8A and in one session let’s go!! Such a cool and Flowy problem, hand jam on the first move was the beta for me, but I couldn’t have been any closer to dropping the top jeez it was desperate. Psyched!
Topside The Summit
	7C	Standing Wolf	Boulder		Guy Paterson-Jones	Mon 3rd Oct 2022
Cool board problem, powerful controlled moves on nice edges.
Topside The Summit H: Boogie Nights
	7B 7B - C	Blame Canada	Boulder		Guy Paterson-Jones	Thu 22nd Sep 2022
Did both campus and non-campus, doesn't feel 7C.
	7C	Boogie	Boulder		Guy Paterson-Jones	Mon 3rd Oct 2022
Finally, found this really hard to send. Fell on the last move for four sessions...
	8A+	★★★ Boogie Nights	Boulder		Carlo Denali Traversi	Mon 23rd Jul 2012
Fun traverse. Climbed it 2x for training. Then tried to climb it reverse. No go. Soft
Topside Mirta
	8B+	★★★ Mirta	Boulder		Carlo Denali Traversi	Wed 25th Jul 2012
2nd Ascent. A World Class Bloc. Seriously, one of the most impressive climbs I've seen anywhere. Sent fairly quickly, but not without a fight and some serious skin loss. Props to Paul for establishing this one. Psyched!
Topside Aerial Peekaboo
	6B+	★★ Peekaboo - with zoe	Boulder	★★ Very Good	Matthew Robinson	Sun 18th Feb 2024
Spicy one.
Topside Aerial Butt Guster
	6C+	★★★ Butt Guster	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Drew Olden	Sun 5th Feb 2023
Best 6c+
	6C+ ~7A	Ecopoint ★★★ Butt Guster — 5 attempts - with Zoe	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Matthew Robinson	Sat 7th Oct 2023
Unbelievably good problem. I think it should be upgraded to 7A so that more people make the mission to climb it.
Topside The Cinema
	7B+ 6C	Kung Fu Hustle	Boulder		Ebert Nel	Fri 7th Aug 2020
Athletic
Topside The Cinema Memento
	7B Hard	★★★ Momento	Boulder		Drew Olden	Sun 25th Feb 2024

Added a move to Paul's climb from last year. Crew send! FA
	7C+	The Life Aquatic	Boulder		Guy Paterson-Jones	Fri 23rd Sep 2022
Agree it's not 8A, but harder than War of the Worlds for me.
	7C+ ~7C	The Life Aquatic - with patrick	Boulder		Drew Olden	Sat 11th Feb 2023
Coolish but soft. Kai flashed
	8B+	★★★ Paranormal Activity	Boulder		Carlo Denali Traversi	Thu 23rd Aug 2012
2nd Ascent. A true finger strength testpiece. Sustained. The moves came together super quick, but the link took awhile. Capped off an amazing day. Surfing in the morning, bouldering till dark. The Cape Town life is too good.
Topside The Cinema Black Hawk Down
	8A+	★ Black Hawk Down	Boulder		Carlo Denali Traversi	Tue 3rd Jul 2012
Climbs real nice. 2nd Go
	7B+ Hard	★★★ Flubber — 4 attempts	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Drew Olden	Sun 5th Feb 2023

2nd try from the start. Really nice wall.
Topside The Turtle Area
	7B	★★ Short Changed	Boulder		Guy Paterson-Jones	Fri 23rd Jun 2023
It goes from the jugs at the very back of the cave! Didn't link, makes it much harder.
Topside The Maze Boulder K
	6A	★★★ Hanging Bow	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Thomas Horn	Mon 13th Jun 2022
Awesome route, but there is a tree blocking the landing so don't climb it unless you are willing to enter a no-fall one
Topside The Maze Boulder J
	6C	★★ The Bumblebee Effect (BumbleBee)	Boulder		Ebert Nel	Sun 3rd Mar 2013
Line on left of warm-up Boulder. Left of the Prime project. FA

New highpoint!

Topside Silvermine Boulders The Silvermine Boulder
	6C	★★ B — 9 attempts	Boulder 5m		Gerhard Human	Wed 19th Feb 2014
I wish this one had a name, I spent many hours there by myself after work. Ended up sending it in the mist. That topout was pretty scary without a spotter!
	6A+	★★★ Turncoat	Boulder 4m		Gert Minnie	Sat 5th Aug 2023
Apparently slopers are no joke
