16 Shut Up and Die Like an Aviator

Climbs the scoop 5m right of 'Bikini Red'. Opened on trad gear, very poorly protected. Has been retro-bolted, have a safe flight.

20 Stage Fright

Starting 5m left of the 'Centre Stage' corner, go up and somewhat left to the arete. Follow this to anchors. Less scary since retro-bolt.

18 Centre Stage

This is the leftmost route on the right wall of 'The Theatre'. Climbs the corner. Avoid the weird looking pillar on your left low down. Crux layback at the top.

22 G-Minor in G-String

Using the cracks to clear the bulge. Cross left over 'Shut Up and Die Like an Aviator' at a third way up at the shared ledge using hangers. Then it is all the business trying to keep your G-string clean!

23 Heart of China

CLASSIC!! Up the middle of the big left facing orange wall, via a leftwards trending line of cracks and jugs. One of the best trad lines at 'The Restaurant'.

FA: Darryl Margetts & Martin Seegers, 1991

26 Kindred Spirits

At the right end of the ledge, climb up a few moves, and right around the corner to under a roof (awkward 3rd clip out left). Opened at 25!

24 Endless October

Starts at the left end of the ledge/block. Brilliant.

23 Into the Night We Slide

Just to the right of the major dihedral in 'The Theatre', a few meters left of 'Heart of China'. Opened on trad. Sparse gear.

30 Big In Japan

The line of bolts left of 'Kindred Spirits'. This line has a controversial history supposedly involving an unauthorised first ascent followed by the bolts being chopped by the original bolter. The line was re-bolted by Danny Pinkas and re-opened by Marc Efune in November 2014

14 2b or not 2b

A fairly moderate way to the highest ledge (80% up) in the middle of this impressive amphitheatre. Starting 3m left of 'Centre Stage', go up to the diagonal break leading back to the main corner. Last move to the lower anchors is the crux. Extend draws in the mid-section.

25 Sweet Cousin Cocaine

From the right of the block climb past a bouldery lower section then a finish on huge jugs. Superb.

FA: Gary Lotter, 1991

Sport 10 Waterval Boven
23 Night of the Toast

The obvious crack line on the left of 'The Theatre', just right of 'Sweet Cousin Cocaine'.

28 Mankini Blue

A crimpers delight! Climb first couple bolts of 'Bikini Red' then branch left and up the crimpy wall. Was opened at 26 but apparently its not. MCSA Bolts

FA: Andrew Pedley, 2012

Sport 9 Waterval Boven
27 Bikini Red

Stunning! Better than 'Lotter's Desire'? In the middle of the face. Name written at base. The first bolt is very high but the climbing is super easy. Don‟t stray left at the top, just trust those feet and go!
