	19	★★★ El Matador - with Simon 1 15 20m 2 17 15m 3 19 20m	Trad 55m	Table Mountain		Ollie Rattue	Thu 5th Nov 2020
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.

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.

The second and last pitch climb beautifully. Great rock. Old abseil tat in situ at the top, you may want to replace.

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.

	20	★★ Bullseye - with Nic Parmee, Mat 1 12 15m Trad lead by MarkSurfi 2 19 12m Trad lead by MarkSurfi Beautiful hard move on the overhang to the right. 3 20 20m Second lead by Nic Parmee This pitch is the money, good crack, finger locks and balancy. 4 18 15m Second lead by Nic Parmee 5 20 12m Trad lead by MarkSurfi The face and traverse are good but going around the overhang is slopy and not great. The lyken right and above.	Trad 74m	Table Mountain		MarkSurfi	Sun 4th Dec 2022

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.

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.

1st pitch=scary; 2nd/3rd pitches are classic, bolts at top for belaying and rapping make it luxurious.
	17	★★ Picnic Time for Teddy Bears	Trad 50m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 25th Oct 2012
17 Great route, I found the start tricky, P1-sustained climbing of 35m; P2- is right out there on a pocketed face, I was scared but enjoyed it immensely

Sublime position on the layback crack, P3. P2 I did a mashup of Quacks start and Duck finger crack. Beautiful autumn afternoon -- what a pleasure.

P2 is pretty spectacular, forgot how gnarly trad is. P3 is truly classic, prob the best pitch of 16 that I have climbed to date, so many gear placements, esp nuts. I had really bad rope drag thoug, also not 16, feels more14/15; we did in dark with head torches.
	16	★ Custer's Last Stand	Trad 35m	Table Mountain	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Wed 14th Sep 2016

Good in parts. P2 is quite good actually. Not the best RD, but we found our way.
	16	★ Robin Hood	Trad 52m	Table Mountain	Don't Bother	Cormac Tooze	Tue 24th Oct 2017
Has good parts. Only for the most dedicated route ticker. But overall, a bit of a wank.

P2 is really good!

Cool route! Laurence went off route on the third pitch heading through the middle of the roof landing us on the last pitch of El Matador (19). Little bit tough, but cool climbing! Will have to return to climb the respective routes in their entirety.

OK, If you wanna do single pitch after work quickly, Take at least 15-16 runners as long pitch.
