Commence about 20m up Great Gully from its junction with Fernkloof proper.
12m 13 Climb a grey face to the left of an overhang which has a crack dividing it from the sloping grey slab on its left. Climb the slab to a ledge.
15m 6 Climb up easy face for 6m. Traverse left and up onto a broad grassy ledge to a grey face 5m right of the largest tree on the ledge. (Battle Crack is the 3/4m wide crack starting about 8m above the broad grassy ledge. It has a tree at its base and a large undercut brown recess below it.)
15m 11 Climb the grey face right of the brown recess, up the side of a detached block, then follow a dassie traverse left to a tree on a small brown platform at the foot of the crack.
15m 11 Chimney up crack to a flake-like chockstone and move left onto arete, then onto blocks at foot of final crack.
10m 8 Move right, past the crack continuing from the top of the chimney and up an easy recess to the top.
22m 10 From tree at top of first pitch go straight up grey nose on the left, into a corner, then again straight up a grey block to a stance on top.
25m 10 Go straight up the corner above the block and into a chimney, past a big tree near the bottom of the chimney. Carry on up the chimney to a ledge and a tree.
FA:P. Harris, R. Forsyth & Miss J. Humphreys, 1957
Start 8m right of BATTLE CRACK and 12m left of KEY ROUTE where a medium-sized tree grows out of a split in the overhang above.
10m 13 Move diagonally left in a recess past a fixed piton, past the tree and onto a ledge.
20m 6 Scramble up diagonally left to the broad grassy ledge below the main krantz.
28m 13 Climb the grey recess to the left of the large tree which lies below BATTLE CRACK. Beyond a small tree about 10m up the recess becomes a narrow chimney. Climb the chimney to the top passing a chockstone and a deep narrow cave high up.
Variation:
3a. 15 Something Further: From the small tree 10m up, climb the brown vertical wall to the left. Zig-zag up and enter a conspicuous brown square recess with blocks at its base. Swing around the block to the right and re-enter the chimney on to the top. (Sep 1979 R. Fox and D. Scott)
The climb starts from the tree in the gully 30m from the corner of QUIVER FACE.
25m 13 Climb the tree for 7m and do a delicate step across onto the face. Move 7m right to a right-angled diedre. Climb diedre for 11m using the parallel cracks which are 1.5m apart to a stance at a small tree. Chockstone belay.
25m 13 Ascend the crack above the stance for about 3m. Traverse 6m to the right to a small pinnacle. Continue upwards for about 11m to the top.
