Amazing overhanging route for the grade

21 | ★★ Buongiorno Bambina | 27m, 11 | Montagu | ★★ Very Good | Sat 14th Nov 2020 | ||||
Sent on the second try
|

22 | ★★ Jack in the Green - with Rowan Douglas, Varalika Jain, Murray Buchanan | 4 | Trappieskop | ★★★ Classic | Sat 28th Nov 2020 | ||||
Cool bouldery route with some big moves. We had a bit of a discussion regarding the last bolt - making use of the holds on the right for a rest MAYBE makes it feel more like a 21?
|
|||||||||
21 | ★★ Magic Potion - with Luis Buque | 18m, 8 | Lakeside Pinnacle | ★★★ Classic | Sat 6th Mar 2021 | ||||
This is a fun climb. Some big strong moves getting over the two small overhangs.
|
|||||||||
19 | ★ The Love Generation - with Varalika Jain | 3 | Underside | ★ Good | Sat 3rd Apr 2021 | ||||
18 | ★ The Entrance (The Entarence) - with Varalika Jain, Ceci Cerrilla | 3 | Peer's Cave | ★★ Very Good | Mon 5th Apr 2021 | ||||
Pretty tough overhang, could be close to 19.
|
|||||||||
17 18 | ★ Hickory Dickory Cock - with Ceci Cerrilla, Varalika Jain | 3 | Peer's Cave | ★ Good | Mon 5th Apr 2021 | ||||
Fun vertical climb. Pretty easy for an 18.
|
|||||||||
19 | ★★ Ward's Walk Up - with Varalika Jain, Ceci Cerrilla | 8m, 3 | Peer's Cave | ★★★ Classic | Mon 5th Apr 2021 | ||||
Fun crack climbing
|
|||||||||
21 | ★★ Snake Tales - with Ceci Cerrilla | Silvermine | ★★ Very Good | Sat 24th Apr 2021 | |||||
Hard bouldery overhang into easy vertical climbing. Ends with a tricky little roof after a good rest. It felt very similar in style to Magic Potion at Lakeside (21) and harder than Rasputin (20) at the same crag - so my personal grade contribution is a 21.
|
|||||||||
19 | ★★★ Zucchini - with Ceci Cerrilla, Rowan Douglas, Christina Arnoldy | 18m, 6 | Kleinmond | ★ Good | Sun 6th Jun 2021 | ||||
A bit of a two-move 19 at the start into a 17. The crux can be CONSIDERABLY harder for short people. It is a fun problem but probably a bit overrated.
|
|||||||||
20 | ★★ Sad Lament for your Phallus - with Ceci Cerrilla, Rowan Douglas, Christina Arnoldy | 3 | Peer's Cave | ★★ Very Good | Sun 6th Mar 2022 | ||||
Hmm, I'm not sure why this route has such a bad rating in the guide book. I thought it was a fun short bouldery route like many others at the crag. Grade seems fair but could be tricky if you're very short.

21 | ★★ Airbag - with Murray Buchanan | 14m, 6 | The Mine | Sat 30th Jan 2021 | |||||

22 | ★★ Poff | 4 | Silvermine | ★★ Very Good | Sun 28th Mar 2021 | ||||

|
|||||||||
25 | ★★★ La Mystique Voyeur | 20m, 8 | The Hole | Tue 4th May 2021 | |||||
Worked this route out across three sessions and managed to send it on my fifth attempt! The crux-rest-crux-rest makes it feel easier than fleur, but the moves are slightly more challenging! What a fun climb
|

24 | ★★★ Riding Shotgun | 5 | Rocklands | ★★★ Classic | Sat 19th Jun 2021 | ||||

|
|||||||||
21 | ★★★ First Impressions | 23m, 5 | Rocklands | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sat 19th Jun 2021 | ||||
Found the start to be the crux and lost the flash working it out! But the rest of the route went relatively smoothly! Such a fun climb! Loved using the arrete and doing some more balancy moves
