	24 ~24	★★★ Celestial Journey - with Josh Sowter 1 24 35 Second lead by Josh Sowter The peapod section is a paper thin crack on an wide open book. After numerous free attempts, aided on a small nut. 2 22 15 Trad lead by MarkSurfi Crux is higher up in a blank 70° open book, off width with no crack. After numerous attempts, aided on a cam. 3 24 30 Second lead by Josh Sowter A beautiful slightly slabbed, mostly blank face. Committing start above a ledge with big moves to tiny rails. Almost clean on second but my rubber had melted on the toe and could not stick the high feet. 4 20 10 Trad lead by MarkSurfi A good short pitch with a clean potential fall. Delicate holds, big moves to thin rails. A piton gives some confidence. 5 22 20 Second lead by Josh Sowter A good but committing crack with some spice at the end. 6 21 30 Trad lead by MarkSurfi Route finding is hard around the crux. With some beta the crux move is good.	Trad 140m		MarkSurfi
When comparing to other sections of Wolfberg and Cederberg, the assigned grade doesn't seem to fit. For example the 20 pitches are significantly harder than the Energy crisis 20 pitch - of which the crux lay back is fairly short and not technically difficult - and other 20s in the area. Crisis was set in the same year so it doesn't seem that time has softened the grading.

	25	★★★ Whinge - with Ben, Deneal 1 19 20m 2 19 20m 3 25 15m 4 21 15m 5 21 25m	Trad 95m	★★★ Classic	Ollie Rattue
First time climbing with Ben and Deneal. Cool day out. We all aided the 25 pitch. I took a hang on the 19 lead, maybe it was a 20 but funky offwidth stuff. Was pleased to get up it. Then I OS the top 21 pitch on lead. My first 21 OS on trad But we think that pitch is soft, it's just quite run out. Very cool route, but I'd skip the 25 pitch next time and just loop round via Red Rooster.

	7b 29 - 31	★★★ Worlds Apart	Mixed trad 40m, 6		Ebert Nel
returning 8 years after being shot down on the onsight. What an amazing line. A testemony for trad routes being bolted and actually being climbed a crapload because of it. #retrobolt #ftw
