West Coast Winterhoek Leopard's Tree Main Kloof Far Tower
	16	FA ★★ Forex - with S. Cunnane	Trad		Ollie Rattue	Sun 11th Sep 2022
Ground up onsight questing, snakes, loose rock and all. Longer than it looked from the ground, more of a chimney than a crack. Stopped short a few metres from the summit, but made an ideal rap point. — with S. Cunnane
West Coast Winterhoek Leopard's Tree Main Kloof The Panel
	20	FA ★ Flummox - with Justin Lawson	Trad		Ollie Rattue	Sun 11th Sep 2022
P1 was much harder than it looked. I lead P2 which was a fun kind of alpine ridge thingie.

In a day after fixing rope's on the free section below the roofs. Rather run out on some of the free pitches which are top end of the grade, possibly 21. Do you enjoy hanging belays? You better!

West Coast Vanrhynsdorp Baievlei
	24	FA ★★★ 3 to Thunder	Trad	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sat 3rd Apr 2010
FFA. #FA Trad Was on it 2 years ago. Felt like an onsight all over again. Though the key beta remained somewhere in the back of my head. Combined the first two pitches. Definitely better that way.

West Coast Vanrhynsdorp Waterval
	23	FA Half Jack	Trad	Average	phlip olivier	Mon 5th Apr 2010
FFA. #FA Trad Wanted it to go all the way from the bottom of the waterfall, but first 10m is rotten rock. Ended up traversing in from the left and doing the top pitch, hence the name. Maybe next time I'll find a way from the bottom.
	11	Teardrops From Heaven	Trad		Scurvy	Fri 21st Jan 2022

	20	★★★ Johan's 19 - with Dale 1 19 25 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber Took an intermediate stance at the ledge after the first traverse. Difficult moves, tricky gear and dubious rock on the first section, but it gets much better higher up. 2 20 20 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber Money pitch. Staunch steep start followed by a beautiful sustained dihedral crack with a cruxy end. 3 17 20 Trad lead by Fernand Sieber Another great pitch of old school climbing.	Trad 65m	★★★ Classic	Fernand Sieber	Fri 10th May 2024
A great route that offers varied and sustained climbing following a beautiful natural line. Don't let the few first meters off the ground on poor rock deter you from the worthy climbing above.

First pitch is arguably harder except for the last move on pitch 2, a reachy move with 0.1 cam placed and above a ledge.

	26	★★★ Red Rain	Mixed trad 2	★★★ Mega Classic	phlip olivier	Sat 29th Nov 2014
Trad Mixed route. Backed the scary old bolts up with some additional trad gear. Crazy how this route felt insanely hard in the beginning, but so easy on the send. Totally mental!

Sent individual pitches but faffed the direct link up. Top roped it last year at the end of a trad day and it felt hard and I rested on the rope. Nice to gauge progress.

	21	★★★ Old Timer's Disease - with Ollie Rattue 1 19 35 Trad lead by Matthew Robinson 2 19 20 Second lead by Ollie Rattue Ollie found a harder, direct variation that punches through a roof where the route breaks right. Worth checking out. 3 19 40 Trad lead by Matthew Robinson Wow. Wow. Wow. 4 21 15 Trad lead by Matthew Robinson, Ollie Rattue Yes. Yes. No.	Trad 110m	★★★ Classic	Matthew Robinson	Sun 26th Feb 2023
It's all good but pitch 3 is something special. Backed off pitch 4 -- good to have some unfinished business.
	21	★★★ Old Timer's Disease - with Matthew Robinson	Trad 110m		Ollie Rattue	Sun 26th Feb 2023
That last pitch is bold. We both backed off. I took a direct line of P3 through the roof, route reading error, think it will go but maybe 22 or 23. Would like to go back and check that out.

	19	★★★ Bioplus - with Josh Sowter 1 17 35m 2 19 20m 3 18 30m	Trad 85m		Ollie Rattue	Sat 11th Dec 2021
I lead the first pitch which felt harder than anything on Icarus. Josh lead pitch 2 and 3. Pitch 2 didn't have great gear, roof was a very cool feature. Would like to climb the top two pitches next time. Felt wild up there with the wind. Ben, Huey and Kim were climbing on Celestial next to us, really want to get into the big boy routes next year.
	17	★★★ Energy Supplement	Trad 120m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 29th Dec 2013
If you don't want/ can't to do Energy Crisis, this is a high quality alternative, ESP the first and last pitches-magnificent!

Lead the 16 which seemed quite run out over the roof. Felt good. Pitched it into 2. Could have done traverse (15) but playing it safe on my first Wolfberg traverse. Found the 17 surprisingly hard, crack layback thing, need to get mileage for trad technique. Impressed with Simon's leading.
	17	★★★ Energy Supplement - with Justine and Karen	Trad 120m	★★★ Classic	Jo	Sat 16th Dec 2023
Fun (dassie) traverse (manage your nerves, exposure ! 😂). Suggestion : a lot of drag on second pitch and history of stucked rope -> split the pitch in 2, made the day ! + it gives you the chance to enjoy a belay stance with a view !!! (half-a-bum-cheek type of stance for climbing party of 3 😉)
