Start up the overhanging wall thru great rails up the bulging then face move left into finger-crack finish Fairly large (plate sized, 3cm) rock at the start of Cacophonix (the 18 going up the outside corner) is loose and sounds very hollow. Quite low to the ground but could cause a nasty scare for climber and belayer if it came off unexpectedly. Is marked but will rub off soon. FA: Brent Russell, 2013 | ||||

Muizenberg Trad | |||||
17 | ★ Reacher
I believe we opened this new pitch. It is just a simple line just after the last pitch of Muesli. Just look at the hole in the roof that works as a nice undercling. Moving to the right reduces the grade to 16. Going to the jug on the top left after the undercling gives this pitch the 17 grade. Continue easily to the top. | 25m | |||
