Sun 3rd Jul 2016 - Waterval Boven
Wonderland Area Hallucinogenic Wall
16 Cenotaph Corner Sport 9 Classic
Would be a classic 13 corner at Frog. Wierd climbing a route like this with bolts.

 
15 Teacher's Pet Sport 8 Average
Forgettable. Steep bulge where you crank on a death block straight in front of your face.

Wonderland Area Hallucinogenic Wall
19 Slim JIm Sport 7
Top rope from Fat Annie for Lu, then ran up it for mileage. Wrecked! Pumpy lie backing.

 
16 Last Hurrah Sport 7 Good
Decent easy route, but has one very cruxy, traverse move which is tricky for shorties.

 
6a 18 Snakeskin Safari Suit Sport 15m, 10 Classic
Sweet. Funky crack moves and a mantle. Really fun and interesting climbing.

Fully protectable on gear - but I'm not complaining.

6c 22 Goonie-Goo-Goo Sport 10 Mega Classic
Warm up send. Still pumpy though! Doing laps on this would be fantastic training.

 
Sun 26th Jun 2016 - Montagu
Legoland Area Legoland
7a 24 Eddy of Bovidence (Eddie of Bovidence) Sport 12m, 4 Classic
On the way out of town, first thing in the morning with star jumps to warm up in 6 degree weather. Run it out clipping beta worked.

Still struggling to come to grips with SA grading. This felt bouldery 23AU at least to me. Maybe I'm just weak.

 
Sat 25th Jun 2016 - Montagu
Riverside Crags The Steeple
15 Confessions Sport 15m, 6
Chossy and quite forgettable.

 
18 The Gospel Express Sport 21m, 10 Mega Classic
Fantastic. Some very nice movement, good length, follows a natural feature.

Legoland Area Legoland
16 Not With New Brim Sport 15m, 6 Very Good
Cool down mileage at the end of a long day.

 
14 Life and Times of Mike Hunt Sport 18m, 5 Classic
Absolutely buggered when I tried this. So much fun though!

 
Wed 22nd Jun 2016 - Montagu
Legoland Area Legoland
18 Chocolate Speedway Sport 18m, 6 Mega Classic
So good. Beautiful side pull sequence and a pumpy final clip. One of the best at this grade that I've climbed.

 
18 Pipe Dreams Sport 16m, 6 Very Good
All pretty similar on the RH side. Pleasant, well protected climbing.

 
16 Easy Does It Sport 16m, 5 Very Good
15 Mild Thing Sport 15m, 5 Very Good
First proper day out for more than a month. Humbling to come back feeling so unfit.

 
Thu 9th Jun 2016 - Spitzkoppe & The Pontoks
Boulder Valley Dinosaur Rock
6c+ 24 Chopper Shopper (Chopper Stopper) Sport 15m Classic
Thought this was the 19 - a very stiff warm up. Just squeaked it.

22/23AU
