A Cape Town classic. I still think it's a bit soft compared to other 21s (this was my first 21 and flashed it soon after I started climbing).

 
21 Mandela Magic Direct - with Rowan Douglas, Christina Arnoldy, Ceci Cerrilla Sport 5 Very Good
Wian van Zyl
Took a fall at the crux, I think it's a brilliant crux. Always thought it was a bit skewed towards tall people, but today I finally found beta at the correct grade that made the reach up quite easy. Spoilers: Trick is to get your foot high on the left and go up using the rail as an underling. Very satisfying finally figuring this new beta out!

Such a cool route.....The beta that worked for me was left heel and go for the jug with the left hand. For the Upper crux I used the low left heel through all the crimps. Went down first time I stuck the jug in the roof.

20 ~21 Last of the Blacksmiths - with Josh Sowter Trad 35m Very Good
Ollie Rattue
Hung at the first piece of gear, moving out of the initial rail is the hardest move on the route. Pulled through on a cam. From there it's fairly steady at 20, very nice climbing. I freed from that point, although built an anchor 25m up to haul more big gear. Improved the rap anchors with new Mallions and a nut backing up a wobbly bolt.

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.

Checked this out last year. Cool to feel more capable this time around. Better line than other comments suggest. Good right hand jam allows a big span to a tiny, painful finger lock. Fun times in the pain cave.

Couple of boulder problems and a slab — excellent line. Got on this at the beginning of the year, came back for the triple-threat send with Josh and Ollie. I see it’s graded 24 here — not sure about that. Solid 23 feels right to me.

took me few tries to get the start move, eventually figured left heel hook and then high left hand to sloper. no hand jams necessary ? the start move goes at like 22 the rest is 19. inconsistent route so hard to grade. but at 20 sandbagged due to start move.

Ground up FA OS. That thread at the start of the route looks like a joke but is bomber. Matt took an alternate direct line to the right and made this into a 22. Would be cool to try that variation. Very happy this line came together on the upper face as I couldn't really see that from the ground.
