Ascents in Cape Winelands

FFA.

One of the best. Incredibly captivating powerful technical climbing from go through a unique overhanging heuco jughaul to a sassy granite boulder problem at the lip, keeping you clinging on to the point of full pterodactyl chicken winging with the chains in your face wondering how the fuck you going to clip. Got me at the chains once, not twice:') no kneepads required, I rate 8b without kneepads a fair grade, taken into account that I figured out a grovel free, minimal intimate contact with rock sequence through

Great! Not sure of the grade, time will tell. Did it with kneepads.

Sit start to Duan. Struggled quite a bit with this one. Check Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-KxSEvrn-M

#FA Awesome esthetic line! And very cool moves!! (Some people spoke to me and it seems the grade consensus is 7B rather than 7A+) Check Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oahFhLyT0iE

#FA Not sure of grade at all. Facing King Joker, walk right. You'll find this little problem behind the waist high boulder next to king joker boulder (on the next big boulder). Start on ear shaped jug/sidepull on lip, up via sloper and crimp. Check video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cc9hCJNuys

Ugly route to look at, beautiful route to climb. Tricky beta to figure out, but once figured, it went down without too much trouble.

Four sessions. Lots of goes. Fell on the last move about a month ago and only got back to it now. Extended a cam (placed next to the finishing jug) to prevent an Alan.

Expected this to take another session or 2, but it was such a perfect day out. Conditions where amazing! So much fun on this route, I'm a bit sad it's over.

#FA Overall, the stand start is still the better problem. The direct sit is possible, but going to be hard.

This route climbs amazing! Had so much fun on it, almost sad that the journey is over.

nice line

a tricky slab...

one of the best problems I've climbed. anywhere. solid at the grade too

Amazing how this route is the same hight as Switchbitch, but so much 'shorter'.

FFA. #FA Legend! Sticking the crux hold is one of the coolest moves you can do on a rope. Great vision Malcolm, Greg and Ross. Danie to send it soon! Grade needs confirmation.

Can't believe I got on this route only now! It is fantastic! Thought it was super hard at first, but Harry's beta made the difference. Great day out with the Crews'

After hold broke. No change in grade. Very cool problem.

Finally. Looks like taking a break from a project sometimes pays off.

Classic! Ossem!!! One of the best problems at Paarl and so typical Paarl . Nice one Jaak.

Really really good problem. Ossem line. Hard move. Classic!

Nasty! So happy to send this when I did. Body is falling apart. Shoulder and ankle would not survive the battering for much longer.

With new beta the crux move felt easy. Fell off trying to clip the bolt after the crux though. Sent it on my next go, skipping the clip before and after the crux (as Alan suggested)

Unexpected...

cool one move wonder, skip clip in roof after crux and bolt before crux, thats the beta:P

Kept dropping at top

Very hard top crux had to fight

my nemesis

quality line - went down sweet as candy

#FA tough little number - the project behind gripped

bad heelhook to desperate slopers

#FA (project D5)

Shred the Gnarl

Sent with the first three draws pre-clipped, but stoked nonetheless.

Superb!

Full body batter... I have the scars to prove it. Video of Anro on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-4BdPfHKm4

#2go

Very nice Charls. Ossem problem!!

Lekker dyno at the bottom with lots of pump at the top. Soft because of all the knee-bars, but super cool!

Nice one Matt! Well spotted Hermann.

#FA Very cool little undercling crack problem. Check video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9439JyAkilI Better video of Anro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EloGvBiJ8NA
