Trad Mixed route. Backed the scary old bolts up with some additional trad gear. Crazy how this route felt insanely hard in the beginning, but so easy on the send. Totally mental!

Sent individual pitches but faffed the direct link up. Top roped it last year at the end of a trad day and it felt hard and I rested on the rope. Nice to gauge progress.

	21	★★★ Old Timer's Disease - with Ollie Rattue 1 19 35 Trad lead by Matthew Robinson 2 19 20 Second lead by Ollie Rattue Ollie found a harder, direct variation that punches through a roof where the route breaks right. Worth checking out. 3 19 40 Trad lead by Matthew Robinson Wow. Wow. Wow. 4 21 15 Trad lead by Matthew Robinson, Ollie Rattue Yes. Yes. No.	Trad 110m	★★★ Classic	Matthew Robinson	Sun 26th Feb 2023
It's all good but pitch 3 is something special. Backed off pitch 4 -- good to have some unfinished business.
	21	★★★ Old Timer's Disease - with Matthew Robinson	Trad 110m		Ollie Rattue	Sun 26th Feb 2023
That last pitch is bold. We both backed off. I took a direct line of P3 through the roof, route reading error, think it will go but maybe 22 or 23. Would like to go back and check that out.

	19	★★★ Bioplus - with Josh Sowter 1 17 35m 2 19 20m 3 18 30m	Trad 85m		Ollie Rattue	Sat 11th Dec 2021
I lead the first pitch which felt harder than anything on Icarus. Josh lead pitch 2 and 3. Pitch 2 didn't have great gear, roof was a very cool feature. Would like to climb the top two pitches next time. Felt wild up there with the wind. Ben, Huey and Kim were climbing on Celestial next to us, really want to get into the big boy routes next year.
	17	★★★ Energy Supplement	Trad 120m	★★★ Classic	Cormac Tooze	Sun 29th Dec 2013
If you don't want/ can't to do Energy Crisis, this is a high quality alternative, ESP the first and last pitches-magnificent!

Lead the 16 which seemed quite run out over the roof. Felt good. Pitched it into 2. Could have done traverse (15) but playing it safe on my first Wolfberg traverse. Found the 17 surprisingly hard, crack layback thing, need to get mileage for trad technique. Impressed with Simon's leading.
	17	★★★ Energy Supplement - with Justine and Karen	Trad 120m	★★★ Classic	Jo	Sat 16th Dec 2023
Fun (dassie) traverse (manage your nerves, exposure ! 😂). Suggestion : a lot of drag on second pitch and history of stucked rope -> split the pitch in 2, made the day ! + it gives you the chance to enjoy a belay stance with a view !!! (half-a-bum-cheek type of stance for climbing party of 3 😉)

P2 and 3 are super high quality at grade 15. Amazing climb in world class setting. P1 a little grovely, others fantastic.

Blind leading the blind? Felt like a first proper trad climb that I took the lead on. Kind of intense! Lead all pitches and took Clemens, a visiting European sport climber up the route.

This is total choss, unpleasant, rock is flaky and weak. A large jug broke in my hand and fel. It looked like the strongest hold there. Gear is not good.

First time climbing with Ben and Deneal. Cool day out. We all aided the 25 pitch. I took a hang on the 19 lead, maybe it was a 20 but funky offwidth stuff. Was pleased to get up it. Then I OS the top 21 pitch on lead. My first 21 OS on trad But we think that pitch is soft, it's just quite run out. Very cool route, but I'd skip the 25 pitch next time and just loop round via Red Rooster.

	24 ~24	★★★ Celestial Journey - with Josh Sowter 1 24 35 Second lead by Josh Sowter The peapod section is a paper thin crack on an wide open book. After numerous free attempts, aided on a small nut. 2 22 15 Trad lead by MarkSurfi Crux is higher up in a blank 70° open book, off width with no crack. After numerous attempts, aided on a cam. 3 24 30 Second lead by Josh Sowter A beautiful slightly slabbed, mostly blank face. Committing start above a ledge with big moves to tiny rails. Almost clean on second but my rubber had melted on the toe and could not stick the high feet. 4 20 10 Trad lead by MarkSurfi A good short pitch with a clean potential fall. Delicate holds, big moves to thin rails. A piton gives some confidence. 5 22 20 Second lead by Josh Sowter A good but committing crack with some spice at the end. 6 21 30 Trad lead by MarkSurfi Route finding is hard around the crux. With some beta the crux move is good.	Trad 140m		MarkSurfi	Wed 14th Dec 2022
When comparing to other sections of Wolfberg and Cederberg, the assigned grade doesn't seem to fit. For example the 20 pitches are significantly harder than the Energy crisis 20 pitch - of which the crux lay back is fairly short and not technically difficult - and other 20s in the area. Crisis was set in the same year so it doesn't seem that time has softened the grading.
