	23	★★ Quake 1 21 18m 2 19 30m lead by Cormac Tooze 3 23 30m	Trad 78m	Table Mountain	★ Good	Cormac Tooze	Tue 10th Feb 2015
First 19 OS on trad. Used this pitch to go directly to stance for Magnetic, nice and direct option, saves time.
	21	★★★ Farewell to Arms 1 19 20m lead by Cormac Tooze 2 21 20m 3 21 10m lead by Cormac Tooze 4 21 25m	Trad 75m	Table Mountain	★★★ Mega Classic	Cormac Tooze	Mon 22nd Feb 2016
Next level route, with stellar cruxes I lead P1 & P3.
	20	★★★ Roulette (Roulette Linkup Jacob's Ladder) - with Josh Sowter 1 16 23m 2 20 20m 3 20 10m 5 16 40m linkup Jacob's Ladder	Trad 93m	Table Mountain		Ollie Rattue	Sun 21st Nov 2021
Lead P1, the 17/18 variation that Anton / Ryan suggested. Found the start fairly easy and really enjoyed this pitch. Things didn't go so well after that. Mist and cold came in and got the full TM experience. Kind of turned into a bail up exercise.
	21	★★ Joker in the Pack - with Josh Sowter 1 19 12m 2 16 18m 3 19 15m 4 21 18m	Trad 63m	Muizenberg Trad		Ollie Rattue	Sun 29th Nov 2020
100th trad lead Lead P1 (19) and P2 (16). Nice 19 OS Following the 21 crack pitch I was psyched to get my hand jams and finger locks to work.
	21	★★ Don't Squeeze I'll Laugh - with Josh Sowter 1 19 15m 2 19 12m 3 20 30m 4 21 20m	Trad 77m	Table Mountain	★★ Very Good	Ollie Rattue	Sat 12th Feb 2022
Onsighted P1 / P2, followed P3 clean and P4 took a fall working out the crux on top rope. The 21 Boltergeist finish is quite full on
	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.
	18	★★ Dilettante - with Matt 1 17 15m 2 16 18m 3 14 20m 4 18 20m	Trad 73m	Muizenberg Trad		Ollie Rattue	Sun 6th Feb 2022
Had followed P1 and lead P2 before. Took Matt on his first trad climb, he did really well. That P1 is a bit nasty with no gear and certain deck potential. P2 felt really relaxed, I remember being totally gripped the first time I lead this. Crux pitch was cool.
	18	★★★ Atlantic Crag - with Phil 1 18 18m 2 14 20m 3 11 3m 4 14 30m 5 15 12m 6 18 10m 7	Trad 93m	Table Mountain	★★★ Mega Classic	Ollie Rattue	Sun 19th Jul 2020
Took sailor Phil (USA) for his first outing on TM. First time climbing together, made a good team. Did the route clean with no hangs or falls. I lead the first 18 and Phil lead the 18 crux pitch. My favourite pitch was the 14 open book, crack, flake (14?). I had seconded P1 and P2 with Simon before, we bailed as the wind picked up and it was nearing the end of the day.
	18	★★ Dilettante - with Josh Sowter 1 17 15m 2 16 18m 3 14 20m 4 18 20m	Trad 73m	Muizenberg Trad	★ Good	Ollie Rattue	Wed 8th Jul 2020
Lead P2 fun handrail traverse with Josh. Want to go back and lead the 5c / 17 P1.
	18	★★ Finalé - with Simon 1 18 30m 2 16 20m 3 17 15m	Trad 65m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Ollie Rattue	Sun 5th Dec 2021
First two pitches. I shied away from the onsight because everyone had said it was sandbagged and full on and I wasn't really that psyched. I found this very easy on a top rope. I didn't really get what everyone had been saying about the thin fingers (too small to get fingers into) it all seemed like jugs. Actually kind of confusing. But I was only in the passenger seat.
	17	★★★ Scary Crack - with Kevin 1 17 Trad lead by Cormac Tooze 2 Trad lead by Kevin	Mixed trad 65m, 1	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Cormac Tooze	Thu 20th May 2021
P1 is really awesome lay backing with good gear, super high quality. P2 is the scary bit, well done Kevin on the lead you are the MAN! The most run-out route I have done on granite to date. One of my favourites too!
	17	★★ King Cone - with Josh Sowter 1 17 25m 2 16 25m	Trad 50m	Foreign Policy		Ollie Rattue	Tue 8th Sep 2020
Wowzer! Probably 45 mins to do 12 meters of P1. Could go left or right and couldn't commit to either. Just ended up hanging around for ages. Lowered off cams and Josh lead the pitch. Felt completely drained all day. Trad is hard!
	17	★★ Maid Marion - with Simon 1 14 25m 2 16 10m 3 17 15m 4 14 20m	Trad 70m	Table Mountain		Ollie Rattue	Thu 5th Nov 2020
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.
	17	★★★ Escalator - with Josh Sowter 1 17 23m 2 14 23m 3 16 16m	Trad 62m	Table Mountain		Ollie Rattue	Sat 21st Nov 2020
Lead P2 and P3 clean. Backed off P1, didn’t like that weird chimney roof thing so low to the deck. P3 was quite complex with ropework but got that right. I really prefer leading with two ropes, extending everything on a single becomes a bit of a PITA.
	16	★★ Slangolie Frontal - with Simon 1 11 40m 2 10 50m 3 14 30m 4 13 20m 5 12 25m 6 8 25m 7 13 45m 8 10 40m 9 16 35m 10 12 40m 11 10 35m 12 8 20m	Trad 410m	Table Mountain		Ollie Rattue	Thu 19th Dec 2019
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.
	15	★★★ Aquanaut - with Simon 1 14 30m 2 15 35m	Trad 65m	Lion's Head		Ollie Rattue	Sat 9th Nov 2019
Second pitch. Felt much easier than expected, first lead with new partner. Was good to have him help with route finding and rope clipping suggestions. Felt like the two ropes makes sense to me now. First time climbing with Simon.
	15	★★★ Clifton Crest - with Jeroen 4 15 23m	Trad 23m	Lion's Head	★★★ Classic	Ollie Rattue	Sun 10th Nov 2019
Climbed with J. Onsight lead pitch from tea cave. Really cool step up move, exciting and relaxed.
	14	★★ Coin de Rocher - with Simon 1 12 18m 2 14 20m 3 13 15m 4 13 10m	Trad 63m	Table Mountain	★ Good	Ollie Rattue	Thu 4th Jun 2020
First climb back after lockdown. Grade is sandbagged, nice adventure climbing going up via ledges scramble.
	20	★★ Last Three Inches - with Michael Champanis 3 19 35 Second lead by Mike This pitch keeps on giving, two offwidths, two tricky traverses, it is full on. It warrants a R rating unless you bring larger cams, which we did. First outing for the #8! Would probably be fine with just a #5/#6 instead. Solid lead by Mike, I was glad to follow after taking a nasty fall on this pitch a few month back. 4 20 10 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber Reachy move through the roof to reach a thank god jug. 5 18 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber Finished off the last pitch of Atlantic Crag.	Trad 45m	Table Mountain	★★★ Classic	Fernand Sieber	Tue 30th Jan 2024
Classic. Some of the best crack climbing I have done on the ledge. We skipped the bottom pitches as we were a bit short on time.
	15 Hard	★★★ Aquanaut P1-2 1 14 30 Trad 2 15 35 Second	Trad 65m	Lion's Head	★★ Very Good	Jordan	Tue 12th Dec 2023
First two pitches done on a miserably cold day.

	26 Easy	★★★ Africa Arête Direct - with Tinie	Trad	Table Mountain	★★★ Mega Classic	Aidan Bennetts	Sat 10th Jun 2023
Cool boulder problem, makes more sense as a start as your right where you need to be to get your first piece of kit in at the start of P3.
	26	★★★ Africa Arête Direct - with Aidan Bennetts	Trad	Table Mountain		David	Thu 2nd Nov 2023

	6c+ 24	★★ Local Legend	Trad 78m	Table Mountain	Average	Ebert Nel	Mon 25th Feb 2019
ballsy starting moves for the first 2 pitches after which we went straight for the AB chains which may have made the journey a bit more spicy (Vapour Trail 2 last pitches). "Bomber" Trad

	22	★★★ Out to Lunch P1 - with daneel + Nick 1 22 25m Trad	Trad 25m	Table Mountain		Aidan Bennetts	Sun 29th Oct 2023
Sanbagged 22, start has thin gear and decking potential, be cautious of your placemnts. Crux move establishign over the lip has no gear once you turn the lip except for small aliens placement.

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.
