Snake Temple Rock climbing 10 routes in crag

Welcome to Level One. In your quest to unlocking the levels of the Snake Temple, this climb makes a fine introduction. Ascend the small chimney in the center of the wall and proceed to break right onto the face where fine flake cracks lead to the top. While racking up for this climb, the first ascensionists had a close encounter with a rather large and feisty black mamba when they found themselves between the dark serpent and a fleeing rock hyrax that it was pursuing.

Level Two - Hike down and round to the South facing wall of the temple where a superb adventure awaits. Start at an obvious crack mid-way along the base. An ascent of the lower tiers, trending R brings one to the main 'Black Mamba' platform at the base of a deep off-width chimney. Up this, for awkward yet enjoyable climbing with classic mountainous bush views back out of the chimney. Persist inside the chimney past a ledge below the top out, emerge next to the belay for "A Dance with the Black Mamba". The chimney is hard to protect unless you have very large cams. A good head and positive attitude should see you to the top of the squeeze.

One for the bold. Level 3: This climb tackles the most prominent off-width chimney at the heart of the crag. The crack is too wide to protect (unless one is armed with unreasonably wide gear). A delight for the crack climbing fanatics. Stay inside of the crack until exit at the top of the temple. There are multiple ways up the crevice. This climb is hard to grade as the climbing is only slightly strenuous. Though given this route is essentially a free solo, 'Apocalypto' warrants the E grade.

A good warmup for what the Temple has to offer. The route is short enough to be a high boulder problem though the landing would make for a devastating fall. Thus 'The Ololokwe Golf Club' took it upon themselves to make it a short and sweet sport climb.

Bonus round. High-ball boulder far left of Apocalypto. Climb the slab on decent edges, below where it meets a chimney on the right. One can use this corner/ chimney feature while climbing.

If you can't climb M'chawi, stay away from Apocalypto.

This climb takes the furthers left off-width chimney on the crag. Top out should be made behind the chokstone at the top of the crack to remove the temptation for one to escape onto the arete. Its more of a mini solo than a boulder, but perhaps low enough to make one feel at ease.

Easy route left of 'Nathaniel The Serpent Wrangler.'

'Omu Porkupine' is named after the mammal that terrorized the tent of the first ascensionist for the better part of a night.
