	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

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 Rattue	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
	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

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 Rattue	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.

	17	★★★ Escalator - with Josh Sowter 1 17 23m 2 14 23m 3 16 16m	Trad 62m	Table Mountain		Ollie Rattue	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

	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.

	26 Easy	★★★ Africa Arête Direct - with Tinie	Trad	Table Mountain	★★★ Mega Classic	Aidan Bennetts	Sat 10th Jun 2023
Cool boulder problem, makes more sense as a start as your right where you need to be to get your first piece of kit in at the start of P3.

	6c+ 24	★★ Local Legend	Trad 78m	Table Mountain	Average	Ebert Nel	Mon 25th Feb 2019
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
	22	★★★ Out to Lunch P1 - with daneel + Nick 1 22 25m Trad	Trad 25m	Table Mountain		Aidan Bennetts	Sun 29th Oct 2023
Sanbagged 22, start has thin gear and decking potential, be cautious of your placemnts. Crux move establishign over the lip has no gear once you turn the lip except for small aliens placement.

	23	★★★ The Wake-up - with tinie, ross	Trad 60m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Aidan Bennetts	Sun 13th Nov 2022
The first pitch is delicate and balancy. First two pieces where pre placed so somewhat of a pink point but the crux is def the move to the leg and past.
	23	★★★ African Lunch	Trad 60m	Table Mountain	★★★ Mega Classic	Drew Olden	Sun 12th Dec 2021

	21	★★ Mellow Steady Flow P1 1 21 18m Trad	Trad 18m	Table Mountain		Aidan Bennetts	Sat 4th Mar 2023
p1 only. The gear is very thin for first 15 metres, pretty much a solo. need to keep a strong head.

Cool moves over the lip….when we did it the traverse was soaking! - awesome climb nonetheless

	22	★★ At Ease - with Brent Russell	Trad 25m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Aidan Bennetts	Wed 2nd Aug 2023
Delicate finger crack on P1, opens up to easire climbing on the layback with a small sting in the tail on the bulge. Gear is great all round. should get more stars (3 out of 5 in the book)

Awesome route except the last pitch needs a pg-13 rating - you’ll break your legs or worse if you fall at the start - those moves were the hardest for me.

Legendary day out. Took a wrong turn on the 18 warm-up pitch and all of a sudden I was doing quite a tricky FA. Next Caro pulled off a commiting move above gear. Then after the amazing second pitch (pulling into that open book is so good) we found ourselves in the middle of a massive fire. Caro scampered up to join me at the hanging belay in under 3 mins, surely setting some kind of speed record. With the fire crackling just around the corner and smoke billowing everywhere, we bailed on to cableway crag and topped out safely. We must have looked quite wired by then because a Dutch tourist took one look at us and gave us a whole bag of snack bars. Score. Thanks to the firefighters who took special care to protect us by dousing the ridge line, and to all of the Traddies who reached out to make sure we were safe. Turns out the Cape Trad community is about more than just sandbagging. But don’t get me wrong — mainly it is still about sandbagging.
	21	★★★ Farewell to Arms - with caro 1 19 20m Trad lead by Matthew Robinson 2 21 20m Second lead by caro 3 21 10m Trad lead by Matthew Robinson Rapped down to retrieve a stuck nut and did a direct variation of this pitch on my way back up. Couple of really cool press moves to establish yourself under the little roof and then some power crimping up a small face to the Touch and Go stance. Maybe 23? 4 21 25m Trad lead by Matthew Robinson Quite exciting.	Trad 75m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Matthew Robinson	Sun 4th Feb 2024
