	28	FA Direct Pressure	Trad	Table Mountain		phlip olivier	Sat 26th Jan 2013
FFA. #FA Trad A short boulder problem with good gear and clean falls. Consensus grading needed. I think it's about the same or maybe a grade harder than Cabin Pressure's 1st pitch. Definitely harder moves, but shorter and less fiddly with gear.

	27	★★★ A Sudden Loss of Cabin Pressure	Trad 67m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	phlip olivier	Sat 19th Jan 2013
Trad Did the first (crux) pitch a couple of weeks ago, but we only finished off the rest of it now. The last pitch is really great! Danie took some impressive whippers trying to onsight. Good clean, huge falls. One of the best pitches I've done on TM.

Led both pitches. Fell at the crux on P2. Climbed it free on 3rd attempt, from the stance on gear I had already placed on previous attempts.

	20	★★★ Left Hall	Trad 95m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Tue 15th Jan 2013
Exceptionally good quality, up there with the best! P1-15, is fun and bold; P2-16/17 is average and lichenous; P3-20 is outta this world, blank face with rails and good gear, best to take a lot of micro cams, I used about 8. The route is a little intimidating so strong head is required, I must say again that the face climbing on this route is superb, with a great finishing crux thru roof.

Ignore the book, I recon P1+P2 are worth doing for the sake of doing the whole route. P2 is actually really good, with a strong pull thru a roof P3-20 is great. Slightly overhanging and comiting P4 is also very good (shares part of Bullshoot) P5-20 we bailed as it got dark and I had loaned my head torch out.

Cool climb, first 20 felt harder than the second one, could just be the style. Tricksy crack vs glory roof jugs. Clean ascent for the both of us, no falls.
	20	★★★ Manoeuvres by Moonlight	Trad 100m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Aidan Bennetts	Sun 19th Feb 2023
The second and last pitch climb beautifully. Great rock. Old abseil tat in situ at the top, you may want to replace.

Borrow your friends micros for this one! Splendid face climbing, looks blank from the bottom but the holds are there where needed. Pros are just spaced and thin enough to keep the adrenaline flowing. We kept the top crux move for next time, hence grade 19.

P1-Has some great moves, pity it's not longer; P2- is long and sustained-truly great for the grade. The book gives this route 2 stars, it deserves 3. I'ts as good as Bombay Duck.

Lead and linked P1 and P2. The 17 P2 felt fine, hauling on jugs through a roof although they were kind of thin flake jugs. Hanging belay stance, first time I did this and I felt I set it up very well, coiling the rope over the clove hitched rope. Lovely to climb with two ropes again, so much easier. I got hit with a small stone in the cheek, really surprised this didn't hurt more or draw blood.

P1-3 are bland but worth the effort for P4 which is spectacular for the grade! 2nd Best 18 pitch to date

1st pitch=scary; 2nd/3rd pitches are classic, bolts at top for belaying and rapping make it luxurious.

Lead all pitches. Cool day out with Simon giving me beta on pro placements. Josh cheering me on from below. First 17 on trad. Ultra classic route. Nice to flash this, felt fairly locked in. First trad lead that felt like proper climbing.

Linked P1 and P2. I backed off P2, couldn't see the line through that weird block. Was fine when I seconded and saw the hold. Didn't like this pitch though, lots of blocks wobbled and moved around. P3 and 17 quite weird trad style climbing. Also missed a key handhold. Not sure I'd recommend this route, felt quite grotty.
