Ascents in Fawlty Towers as Onsight

awesome route but expect more of a 21 than 19. keeps you thinking the whole way

Terribly rusted chains connected to the bolts at the top.

Cool route!

These late-nineties Tony Lourens routes!!

Team flash with Rob. Good route, bit more consistent than some of the others. Watch out for seeping at the top, especially in winter/after rain.

Hard, reachy crux move, rest is easy.

Not so good.

I expected it to be a shitty low-grade route, but I really enjoyed this route a lot. Good holds everywhere.

Susan putting me on sketchy routes.

24 or 25 maybe...

Its a tricky and sustained route that is hard to read with no good rests. The starting moves are really cool through a nice clean face. It then gets VERY runout between bolt 2 and 3, which scared me as I was going for OS and when I was at risk of a ground fall above b2 I had to do very strange movements to stay on route but also safe. This made the route harder and less fun. Once you have clip 3 in its quite good and tough climbing up to the chains, perhaps worthy of two stars and quite tricky for the grade.

Its good for an easier route but I think it is significantly easier than the grade it has (15). This is 13/14 at most. As a 13 it would be "very good" but it does not create a challenge for someone looking to climb 15. The face at the second half is really nice and is a great way to get a beginner on a nice wall with some natural movements through good holds.

For the grade its really great! Decent climbing and a tricky section with great exposure near the top that will generate some adrenaline for sure! Definitely not a give-away route for 15. One of the top easier routes in Cape Town.

Soft? Short fingery section but the route soon links up with the 18.

Chuffed to end on a high after Ollie broke the flake off the roof of The Germans (27), nearly killing us both!
