Routes in Cederberg

Varied climbing with a committing crux pitch. Runs right and parallel to 'The Jedi Fish'. The crux pitch can be replaced with the first half of pitch 2 of 'The Jedi Fish', to give a safer route at grade 21.

1. 15 m (13) Climb the face just left of 'Tafelberg Frontal'. Stance below a small roof.

2. 20 m (21) Pull over some bulges to a little ledge below some roofs. Pull strenuously into a left-facing V slot. Establish over this and pull through two more roofs onto a face. Straight up to a small ledge.

3. 15 m (18) Climb the series of right-facing layback cracks, through an overlap and past a huge rectangular block to a ledge.

4. 15 m (23) Start below a large flat hold at about eye level. Head up a few meters (Camalot #1 and #2). Traverse left for 3m on good foot edges. Pull up at a flake (micro nuts or tiny cam). Move up and right to the large undercling feature. Hard moves out left then straight up to the enormous ledge. This pitch wanders a bit, and the gear is a bit tricky.

5. 20 m (20) Start at the hairline crank that rises slightly left. Follow this to a rail. Move right and up to a narrow roof. Pull through to a left-facing layback. Balance up, and continue another few meters to a hanging stance at a handrail with a good foot ledge.

6. 30 m (18) Step right and follow a series of huge flakes. Continue tending right until able to pull up into another set of flakes just below the summit.

Standing Start. Both hands on large side-pull flake. Climb straight up to small ledge, then move left to top out using the inverted corner.

Sit-start with large rail, move left hand to sidepull, right hand to pocket and top-out.
