Nervous, looked huge when looking up. But was actually pretty chill. Found some low grade trad style climbing much harder than it should be e.g. chimneys. Good early trad experience. Started climbing at 07h30 and topped out at 12h30.

Climbed with Simon. 19 pitch feels run out and scary when you clear the roof and get to the corner rest. Psychologically taxing for me.
	19	★ The Plunge - with Simon 1 17 15m 2 15 30m 3 19 25m 4 15 20m	Trad 90m	Table Mountain	★ Good	Ollie Rattue	Sat 19th Mar 2022
Onsighted the 19 pitch. Aided the 15 pitch. Hmm. ADK didn't know how to grade. Climbed with Simon. Bit of an adventure, psyched to OS the 19 roof pitch, would have been some serious airtime with a fall. Friggin hard for a 19. Cool buttress, I will be back.
	19	★★ Bloodstone - with Megan	Trad 60m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	Fernand Sieber	Thu 14th Mar 2024
Perfect trad day of good climbing through adventurous terrain. P1 and P2 could easily be combined. Found the crux pretty easy for the grade. The exit is confusing, don't try to follow the drawn line on the book straight up the dark face, it looks definitely harder than grade 10. We scrambled diagonally left instead towards the abseil anchors.

P1 and 2 can be combined. Last pitch can be scrambled unroped.
	18	★★ Right Open Book - with mike dom	Trad	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	Aidan Bennetts	Sun 12th Jun 2022
tat anchors at the top of the route, good idea to refresh these if they look old. The last section up the lower off is not great.
	18	Cha Cha Wall - with Gabriel	Trad 270m	Table Mountain	Crap	Guy Paterson-Jones	Wed 21st Dec 2022
Horrorshow choss. Great if you like gardening, and cornflakes. Pitons can often be found behind bushes.

Shouldn’t have backed off the roof variation Ollie spotted on pitch 1. A decision I will regret for the rest of my life.
	17	★★★ Valken Frontal - with Matthew Robinson	Trad 110m	Table Mountain		Ollie Rattue	Sat 4th Nov 2023
Spotted an interesting route variation on P1 through roofs. Next time...

First four pitches are choss. Rock quality improves from there on. I block led pitches 1 to 4. I also led pitch 7.

	16	★★ Slangolie Frontal - with Aidan Bennetts	Trad 410m	Table Mountain	★★★ Mega Classic	David	Wed 1st Feb 2023
Had a blast on this route. Overall very good quality. I did pull off a couple of death blocks. Highly recommend. Started at 7 - finished around 11. Somewhere between 7-9 pitches for us.
	16	★★ Slangolie Frontal - with David	Trad 410m	Table Mountain		Aidan Bennetts	Wed 1st Feb 2023

Worth doing for pitch 2, which offers some cool moves and spectacular positions.
	16	★★ BEE Buttress Frontal - with Matthew Robinson	Trad 88m	Table Mountain		Ollie Rattue	Fri 29th Sep 2023
Pitch 2 is a gem. Grovelling up a dripping wet chimney on the last pitch was a nice intro back into trad.
	16	★★ Slangolie Frontal	Trad 410m	Table Mountain		Gerhard Human	Sat 20th Mar 2021
10hours car-to-car. Long day out with Nico. We did the direct line straight through the overhangs on pitch 9. Pitch 10 was supposed to be easy but turned out the scariest of the lot LOL. Really great climb. All trad. Trad

Interesting pitches including the horseshoe step down and donkey ride step over Fun little adventure, always enjoy climbing on the Apostles, has a wilder feeling on that side.

Seconded P1 clean. P2 lead was a dog show, aid extravaganza for me. Matt got the clean ascent and did great working through mental demons on P1; the classic "I don't want to go up, but I don't want to back off" scenario.

For the amateurs of traverses! What a spectacular line. Tons of exposure. None of the pitches is a give away. Would be five stars if the rock quality was superior. We got spanked, tricky route finding at times.
	17	★★★ Champs Elysees - with Ollie Rattue	Trad 140m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	Matthew Robinson	Sun 13th Feb 2022
First TM outing -- thanks Ollie! Amazing pitches, esp. the outrageously exposed chimney! Would love to lead it one day.
