Lower Silvermine Main
	19	★ The Reed Route - with Dale Tristram, Rachel, Walter	Sport 5	★★ Very Good	Fernand Sieber
Logging this one to provide feedback. Bolting could be better, old gear and ground fall potential before 3rd bolt. Besides that, fine climbing, doesn't deserve only a single star in the book, will be very good with some maintenance.
	20 ~20	★★ Snake Tales	Sport	★ Good	Fernand Sieber
Fun, better than it looks. Felt quite easy for the grade, maybe all these trad chimneys are finally paying off!

Tough 20, with some interesting moves.
	22	★★★ Sickle Moon — 2 attempts	Sport 15m, 6	★★★ Classic	Fryhoff du Toit
Forgot my shoes at home, borrowed a pair from Iben and sent. Great day out with the MCSA Stellenbosch branch.
Sun 24th Mar 2024 - Muizenberg Trad
	21	★★ Joker in the Pack - with Janek, Michael Champanis 1 19 12 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber 2 16 18 Second lead by Janek Would be easily linked with p1 3 19 15 Second lead by Mike 4 21 18 Second lead by Janek	Trad 63m	★ Good	Fernand Sieber
Nice, pity the pitches are so short.
Sat 23rd Mar 2024 - Muizenberg Trad
	19	★★ Jam Up and Jelly Tight - with Janek 1 18 18 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber Bypassed 3m of committing moves above the first piece of pro, up Crackle on the right side instead. Falling there would not be ideal. 2 16 24 Second lead by Janek Nice slabby face. 3 16 24 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber A fun airy pitch, the rock is not very happy though. 4 19 12 Second lead by Janek One move wonder, difficult jam. Nice crack climbing but very short.	Trad 78m	★ Good	Fernand Sieber
Good day on the hill, don't think it deserves the five stars of the book though. If I climb it again, I'd link p1 with p2 and p3 with p4.

The Darkside It's a Wrap
	7A	★★ It's a Wrap Stand	Boulder	★★ Very Good	Tim Trewartha

Blaze of Glory
	22	★★ Promise of Light	Sport 16m, 7	★★ Very Good	Alta Lourette
I’m not a fan of this route, yet I do it every time I’m at Blaze 😆 Doesn’t get easier.
	21	★★ Terminal Velocity	Sport 15m, 6	★★★ Classic	Alta Lourette
I love this route!
	22	★★ Blaze of Glory	Sport 14m, 5	★★ Very Good	Alta Lourette
This is actually such a beautiful route! Sketchy between draw one and two as mini-crux can throw you to the ground, but all the holds are there. The boulder problem at the top is still hard, but I got it first go today. I would climb this more often if it wasn’t for that sting in the tail.
	21	★★ Bad Medicine	Sport 16m, 7	★★ Very Good	Alta Lourette
Sitdown rest on ledge. I just can’t climb this one as gracefully as I would like 😆
	20	★★ Wake-up Call	Sport 16m, 6	★★ Very Good	Alta Lourette
Cool crux in the beginning, big reachy moves all the way up
	19	★★★ Drop Zone	Sport 15m, 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Alta Lourette

Very cool little finger jam in the crack above the roof.
Mon 11th Mar 2024 - Silvermine
Fawlty Towers
	27 Hard	★★ The Germans	Sport 5	★★ Very Good	David
First Ascent post break? Feels like solid 27 (easy 28) to me but needs consensus. You get a great rest before the crux. My beta is RH crimp, LF gaston to the undercling; right kneebar, bump RH to crimp then change left hand to lower undercling bring right hand to where left was and set up feet for a big move to the left hand side pull jug (cut feet and high left foot). RH to crimp, bump left hand up and get a left kneebar; RH to small gaston. LH low crimp switch feet and then get the jug above the chains.

Great warmup wall.
	15 Easy	★ Rough Rider	Sport 15m, 6	★★★ Classic	Wade Basson
Always a goodie!
	22 ~21	★★ Alpha & Omega	Sport 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Wade Basson
I love clinging on to an Arete. Pretty early but fun crux, but with some tall-man beta I reckon it downgrades to a 21.
	19 Hard	★★ Fool's Garden	Sport 7	★★★ Classic	Wade Basson
Great route! Nice dynamic variation along the climb. Always love it when a crack comes out of nowhere.
	18	★★ Obideah - with Nathan Cahill	Sport 8	★★★ Classic	Wade Basson
Obideah never disappoints!
Sat 9th Mar 2024 - Trappieskop
Treasure Chest
	25	★★ Wysiwyg	Sport 6		Alta Lourette
Sneaky crux at the top which we couldn’t figure out and had to bail on last bolt before the chains. Drew told us afterwards about a hidden hold so I guess we’ll have to go back for it 😝
	19 ~22	★★ Sunset Arête	Sport 4		Alta Lourette
Who comes up with these grades? 🤪😂 Starts with a hectic roof (we preclipped the 2nd draw for safety). Couldn’t figure out how to do it and pulled through, then the route eases up. Didn’t come to project this so didn’t bother doing it again 😆
Sat 9th Mar 2024 - Lakeside Pinnacle
	21 ~22	★★ Magic Potion	Sport 18m, 8	★★★ Classic	Luke
Only got to the second clip, could not commit to small left hand above third clip in order to place. Will try going more over to the right after the first roof next time.
	16	★★ Dogmatix	Sport 12m, 7	★★ Very Good	Luke
Fun traverse section!
	18	★★ Who Knows?	Sport 12m, 6	★★★ Classic	Luke
Very cool mantle on great crimp over the roof.
	17 Easy	★★ Moaning Minnie	Sport 10m, 5	★★ Very Good	Luke
Interesting movements, sketchy Anchors!
	16	★ Donald's Crack	Sport 12m, 4	★ Good	Luke

Good climb, Left arm pumpy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUUAVTEMxo4

Lower Silvermine Main
	19 Hard	★★ Fool's Garden	Sport 7	★ Good	Luke
I really struggled with the crack problem, fell multiple times. I would call this a very difficult 19, changeling but very rewarding with a strung out top section.
Mon 26th Feb 2024 - Silvermine
Fawlty Towers
	19 ~20	★ Corked	Sport 5	★★★ Classic	David
awesome route but expect more of a 21 than 19. keeps you thinking the whole way
Sun 25th Feb 2024 - Silvermine
Fawlty Towers
	25	★★ Not Yet Major — 2 attempts	Sport 6	★★ Very Good	Jordan
Surprisingly lovely conditions for a good fight! After strategically forgetting beta, found a good flow through the crux. First of the grade.

St. James' Park Magik Bloks
	7A+	★★★ Save the Robin - with William Wells, Douglas Bentley	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Tim Trewartha
Last go best go! Sick crew today. Definitely felt harder than Batman for me but with refined beta not too bad.
	7A	★★★ Kill the Batman - with William Wells, Douglas Bentley	Boulder	★★★ Classic	Tim Trewartha
Feet first beta. Such a wild move and so cool.

Lower Silvermine Main
	26 Hard	★★ Wings of Desire	Sport 3	★★★ Mega Classic	Luke
Beautiful climbing, a boulders dream, but bolted. Been going back to this almost every weekend. Above my pay grade, sitting on every clip and have only made it to the left crimp over the roof.

First outdoor climb in South Africa (and first real outdoor climb ever)!
Sat 17th Feb 2024 - Lakeside Pinnacle
	18 ~19	★★ Slab 'n Tickle	Sport 7		Jordan
I got called to climb and clean after someone couldn’t top it. Felt brutal - right off the ground, and 3 bolts up. I either missed some holds, or lacked the reach to make it go easily. I rested after the first clip in bewilderment, and had a pretty nasty foot pop after the third bolt - which I held! Would love someone to tell me I’m being soft!
Sat 17th Feb 2024 - Topside

Somewhat spicy.
Sun 11th Feb 2024 - The Mine
	24	★★ Lambada	Sport 4		Alta Lourette
What a kiff route! Second draw is dodge and run-out and it’s not exactly easy climbing (clipped Quillerimo’s 2nd draw then Lambada’s and then came back to unclip). It was so nice to work out the cruxes (which went from “I have no idea how to do this” to “okay this is easy”. Except the last move was really hard and full-on and I had to fight for it. Kept falling off the last move in the last 3 attempts 😆 This dirty dancing little sequence concludes the last 24 of my 20 24s challenge! 🥳
	20	★★ Revenge of the Paas Haasie	Sport 6	★★ Very Good	Alta Lourette
Climbed this route for my 20 20s challenge in 2020. Still such a full-on crux 😆

St. James' Park Magik Bloks
	8A	★★★ Marlboro Man	Boulder	★★★ Mega Classic	Seth Donald
First 8A and in one session let’s go!! Such a cool and Flowy problem, hand jam on the first move was the beta for me, but I couldn’t have been any closer to dropping the top jeez it was desperate. Psyched!

Sun 4th Feb 2024 - Trappieskop
Oyster Box
	24	★★ Lurchin' Urchin	Sport 4	★★ Very Good	Alta Lourette
The campus start, burl fest, schlauk and lack of feet made me work really hard for this route. So much screaming to clip the second draw and then screamed some more because my forearms were in so much pain already 😅 I can’t believe how much I enjoyed the process AND glad it’s over now. Need alert belayer to work together with climber (NB!)
Sat 3rd Feb 2024 - Silvermine
Fawlty Towers
	25	★★ Not Yet Major — 2 attempts	Sport 6	★★ Very Good	Jordan
Struggled with figuring out how to clip the draw during the crux, but that’s sorted now. Soon!

	18 ~19	★★ Obideah — 2 attempts	Sport 8	★★★ Mega Classic	Pieter Jacobus Le Grange

Sunset Wall
	24	★ Sambuca — 4 attempts - with Kim Hochreiter	Sport	★ Good	Alta Lourette
Savage burly little thing, but really enjoyed working it out and sending it. The route is good to read, the holds are all there, the crux is pasaaaat! Kim found a kneebar and saved our ases to rest* before the chains 😃 The send go was in the flow
	21	★★ First Round's on Me	Sport 9	★★ Very Good	Alta Lourette
Don’t remember that sting in the tail 🤔🧐😅

Fawlty Towers
	19 Hard	★ Corked	Sport 5	★ Good	Jordan
Tricky slab beta off the ground! Last time I tried it was in the rain, so this definitely went better. Climbed clean from the first bolt.
	25	★★ Not Yet Major	Sport 6	★★ Very Good	Jordan
Working my first 25! Easy moves to tricky crux, finished with a small hop to a good hold. Can't imagine it will take too many more sessions.
