Ascents in The Gorge - South Side by Harrie Van de Linde having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Another super classic of Buffalo that is severely underclimbed!!! Only because it’s out of the way for most.

Bloody awesome climb, First pitch is MEGA!!! Traverse is scary on the only M6? Bolt. Only last pitch is a bit mossy but nice.

yeah its real nice but hard to find the route in some spots. classic buffalo run out slabs and dykes.

first pitch only. second is pro-less chimney, will rap in to try.

Should have lead it, but one for next time.

my goodness, it took us nearly as long to set up the rap and get to the base as it did to do the climb. cant pull rope from 60m. its pretty good but some bold exposed slab for an 18.

hell yeah, very nice corner up brilliant jams.

oh yeah, i took 1 #4 and 2 #3, you'd need 3 of each to be sane and not bump a cam 15m like i did, but bomber all the way.

Pretty good

Got the first part, but aid section is seaping and full of moss: Went out left instead, small finger traverse (22-23)? But very chossy and loose flakey rock.

very nice climb, LOTS of hand jams

Second time round, swapped leads from last time. Awesome again!!

Awesome route that stands as a test piece in the centre face of the south gorge. but unfortunately you get a false sense of confidence with the great jams turning to steep #4 offwidth. i did try some new stacking techniques but it's above me now unfortunately.

just in the scary dyke runout section, fell on a sling. cant recall whether i caught the sling or found a foot. ill call it
