Hike (short rope if necessary)

Easy buttress starting directly out of the Kloof bed. Trending right, Double ring bolt lower-offs.

Furthest right on main wall.

Left of 1 and 2. Start on the right end of the bigger cliff on low, big jugs. Move straight up, mantling the lip at the top.

Follow the sloping face on big ledges, step left and friction climb to the anchor. Not recommended to lower, better rappeling down.

3 bolt fun short route with tricky final pull

14,16

Same start as 3 on the low, big jugs. Traverse left and up on jugs. From final jug, make a big move to a small hold, then up to large lip on right. (Or top out if you're bold!)

About 5m left from the low, big jugs or 4m right of the deep corner. Climb up to blunt lip. Follow the lip on small holds until the big lip (same top as 4).

Unknown overhanging route on the back of the big boulder

Around the left of the main cave are some low jugs. Seated start as low and left as possible. Traverse right, then up and around the corner, finishing standing in the cave.

Easy climb for beginners. Climb up to the big ledge then follow solping crack line to the top.

Can go trad.

Start on the right end of the next small cove. Traverse left keeping feet above the low quartz line. Finish to the left of the small peaked roof.

Jens E. Kock 2024 PROJECT

The same small cove, but start on its left end. Seated start on poor holds. Traverse right to the middle, then up and right to finish right of the small roof.

Bolted for short climbers. Tricky balance start, good friction up to the anchor.

Starts on a thin face climb to the ledge, then up through the bulge on good grips. Friction climbing to the top. Last bolt and anchor is shared with SCHWESTERWELLE

Fun route. Follow up the face on many good holds. Good for beginners

Climb the steep face into the scoop and over the bulge, then easy friction to the anchor.

We add an anchor on the right side, for top rope use. The large crack/chimney in the middle of the wall. 1) Grade 15, 6 bolts. 2) Grade 20, 8 bolts. NOTE: New anchor on the right side for top rope use of the first pitch. Added new bolt at the beggining to make it safer for begginners.

Project

The first small outcrop. Seated start on right side. Move up and left, finishing left of the top.

Start on the right side of the crack and climb up good grips to the ledge. From there, there is a tricky friction climb on top.

Long approach scramble from Eastern Side. Chimneys and squeeze through cracks. Mandatory 10m abseil to get to the start of the climb.

21 if aided. Classic line but be prepared for runout chimney climbing. The first pitch of 24 can be aided as the holds are now polished and the grade may be higher.

An extremely bold climb with potential falls of up to 30meters on very hard pitches. Was bolted ground up and NO BOLTS SHOULD BE ADDED to maintain the hard history of this climb. Only for the brave!

Can go trad.
