Begehungen in Du Toit's Kloof als Tick

Bottom pitches before the bivy were absolutely crap and dangerous. Pitches above the bivy were generally very good with only the occasional death block. The second last 22 is awesome and the last 22 also but a bit grumby.

Found Pitch 1 hard and ended up traversing right of the awkward crux which needs a bit of gardening. Pitch 2 is pretty awesome climbing.

First time back on the route since breaking my leg on it 3 years ago. Big psychological achievment for me.

Aimee wanted another route before home. Climb in 16' used 12 pieces of gear. Amped!

Second pitch is mega. Hung at the final boulder problem on TR. Psyched to get on lead on this.

to halfway ledge to gain C/W project

Onsighted P1, dogged P2 hot slippery crack thing

Climbed with Josh. Burnout was a waterfall so jumped on this 22. Ended up lying on my back on the diving board, weirdess climbing move I've ever done. Pretty unfit at the moment but good to get back out and do some mileage. Loved Hellfire, what a place. Been missing these early start missions. P2 was more like 17 / 18 would like to lead that next time.

Working out the moves for a lead attempt.

So so good for the grade! Whipped on P1. Need to return to do a clean send.

Take a double rack, I ran out of 17 extenders on one of the 3 x 45m pitches P1 is a warm-up; P2 is serious, ran it out at top, a fall would have been dire, small holds, no time for gear, but slabby. High end climbing some of the best ever. P3 gives you a taste of the proper crack climbing to come. P4 has a wild start, that gives you a mental warmup, further up when you get into the slot it tests your metal!; sandbag pitch, it felt harder than the grade-20 pitches's of 'Roulette'. Prob the best pitch of climbing I have ever climbed to date, very very wild. P5 is the best crack climbing I have ever experienced, long bomber hand jams. Top out in very high mountains, difficult to believe only 1 hr drive from Cape Town.
