Stopped at the third draw, wasn’t sure if i wanted to do the 15 or 19. Also stopped to record Charles on the 20 next to me. Cave part was really cool, would climb again

Fun improvement to the stand start, but suffers from the same bushy top-out.

Taking the draws out as you climb is a good strategy to avoid rope drag
Sun 14th Apr 2024 - Bronkhorstspruit Crag
	22 ~23	★★ Memoirs of a Belay Bunny	Sport 13	★★★ Classic	Bruce McD
Super rad route! If you like If Women Were Gods you will dig this one. Route description: The route has lots of variation. You start under an overhang with a hard move off the ground into a crimpy bad feet crux that feels like it could be 23 to me, albeit short. Then a rest on the ledge (which detracts from the sustain) followed by slab into a super cool series of mini roofs that you need to style through! Everything after the rest is pumpy so I had to dial it a bit. Make sure you climb it on a dry day. As a bronkies route this is a classic in my book! The 23 next door is next!

intro boulder was slightly wet but made it through.
Wed 3rd Apr 2024 - Bronkhorstspruit Crag
	15	★★ The Fallen Boot	Sport 19m, 12	★★ Very Good	Daniela Bartels
Definitly longer than 20 Meters - my 42 m roop hasnt reach the ground again, so now there is a deflector of mine in the 5. bolt.

flake between 3rd and 4th draw loose, I don't think it would pull off the wall(I tried really hard to rip it off) I would be careful after winter as it might become looser.

	15	★★ The Fallen Boot	Sport 19m, 12		Lea Timmermans
One of my most favorite climbs to this day. Something about how the river echoed out the rocks as I was climbing made it feel magical

South East
	18	★★ Not By Might, Nor By Power	Sport 10	★★ Very Good	Mark Durrheim
Aborted to the next-door chains. A large hold broke off with the previous climber (thankfully missing me as the belayer 😬). Some more loose rock close to 3rd bolt. Reaching the undercling of the flake may be harder now.

South East
	13	★ Abel's Arête	Sport 9	★★ Very Good	Nicholas West
A very pleasant climb. Keeping to the face is closer to the grade. A warning on lowering: probably best to back lead when cleaning.

	14	★ Mnokonunkey — 2 attempts - with Sonestie Janse van Rensburg, Zak Janse van Rensburg, Christiaan Janse van Rensburg	Sport 16m, 12	★★★ Classic	Arno
Nice climb for my level
	15	★ Austin's Mojo - with Sonestie Janse van Rensburg, Zak Janse van Rensburg, Christiaan Janse van Rensburg	Sport 20m, 9	★★★ Classic	Arno
This is a very nice climb with more holds than you can see. Just keep feeling the rock and you will find a hold
	12	★ Tickled Pink - with Sonestie Janse van Rensburg, Zak Janse van Rensburg, Christiaan Janse van Rensburg	Sport 10m, 8	★★★ Classic	Arno
Nice rout for beginners or children

	15 Easy	★ Austin's Mojo - with RichardH	Sport 20m, 9	★★★ Classic	Ronald Meeske
Cleaned route properly this time. Don't like the position to clean
	18 Hard	Rastus - with RichardH	Sport 20m, 9	★★ Very Good	Ronald Meeske
Big move at crux much easier on toprope, not as scetch
	18 Hard	Rastus - with RichardH	Sport 20m, 9	★ Good	Ronald Meeske
Got to the crux at the roof, big move was not worth with the ledge below.
	14	★ Mnokonunkey - with RichardH	Sport 16m, 12		Ronald Meeske
Cleaned the route, while cleaning removed rope from beaners and then tied to myself without looping through bolts. Vertigo is one helluva drug

Didn't use the edge to the right and the holds were super tiny and reachy, thought this was much harder than an 18

	6c+ ~23	Elijah's Flying Chariot — 2 attempts - with Andreas Draxl	Sport 7m, 7	Average	Samuel Kerff
I tried that route around a year ago and it felt hard. Today still the same 😅 Connsidering the bad clipping positions and the strenuous moves, I suggest an upgrade to 23
	6a+	★ Variation - with Andreas Draxl	Sport 12m	Average	Samuel Kerff

	21	★ Naked Orange	Sport 12	★★ Very Good	Viktor Pot
Nice technical start and easy but cool climbing after
	16	★ Rock Flower	Sport 17m, 10	★★★ Classic	Devin Nyschens
Rad climb.
	16	★ Squeaker	Sport 12	★★ Very Good	Devin Nyschens
Lekker route. A little bit awkward for me as I haven’t climbed in a few months but the bolting made me feel safe.

	18	★★ Not By Might, Nor By Power - with Jono	Sport 10	Average	Nick Warrener
The climb is rather windy. The nice holds are concealed by the flakes. Quite pumpy.

The crux is right at the start.
	13	★ Abel's Arête (Abel's Arete) - with Jono	Sport 9	Average	Nick Warrener

	17	★ Kate's Moss - with Mel, Amy, Thomas	Sport 12m, 8	★ Good	Nick Warrener
I went straight through the overhang (didn't go left or right) and it was doable. There's a nice little pocket under the overhang that you can hold and then reach up.
Sat 2nd Jul 2022 - Bronkhorstspruit Crag
	16	★ Gunning for Crows - with Harry Maarsingh	Sport 20m, 12	★ Good	Devin
Second time doing this time but my first time leading it. I must admit that climbing with the rope out of site really does tighten up your movements. Climb didn't feel quite as easy as I remembered it being.
	17	★ Tom's Cruise - with Harry Maarsingh	Sport 12m, 8	★ Good	Devin
Second time leading a climb. Started getting a bit of a pump going.
	17	★ Kate's Moss - with Harry Maarsingh	Sport 12m, 8	★★ Very Good	Devin

	17	★★ Angel Of Mercy - with andrew moss	Sport 11m	★ Good	Daniella Court
Nice jugs all the way strange side pull on the left hand side of the overhang closest to chains but you can find feet! Watch out for some marked rocks that are slightly loose for the first 2 draws. FUN and Sketch
Sat 4th Jun 2022 - Bronkhorstspruit Crag
	20	★ George's Bush	Sport 18m, 11	★ Good	Devin
Fourth and last climb of the day. A tough one (by my standards) to end my first ever sport climbing experience. The bug has bitten
	18	★ Venus Fly Trap	Sport 12m, 9	★ Good	Devin
Third ever sport climb.
	16	★ Gunning for Crows	Sport 20m, 12	★ Good	Devin

Fri 15th Apr 2022 - Bronkhorstspruit Crag
	20	★ Grim Reaper - with Alan Warrener, Robyn Gebbie, Jesse, Liam	Sport 10	★★ Very Good	Nick Warrener
The crux is getting over the overhang that has the really big jug. Your feet are critical to get over it. There's a small foot chip to the left where you can stand as you reach for the jug.
	14	★ Mnokonunkey - with Alan Warrener, Robyn Gebbie, Jesse, Liam	Sport 16m, 12	Average	Nick Warrener
There was a bird nesting near the top with an egg.

No hands assent! Great fun, I'll definitely do this on more easy slabs.
	10	★ The 10 commandments	Sport 7	★ Good	Alex van Meelis
Nice slab, good feet and very short. Pretty good for a very relaxed climb
Fri 17th Dec 2021 - Bronkhorstspruit Crag
	21	★ Naked Orange - with Mel	Sport 12		Nick Warrener
Start is so hard. It's a cool climb but really powerful.
	18	★★ Green Machine - with Jesse	Sport 20m, 14	★★★ Mega Classic	Nick Warrener
Was wet at the last bolt before the chains.
	16	★ Squeaker - with Jesse	Sport 12	★ Good	Nick Warrener
Really fun. The view at the top is awesome! The last set of moves to the chains can be a bit hard. You can make it easier if you go right.
	20	★ Grim Reaper - with Mel	Sport 10	★★★ Mega Classic	Nick Warrener
Absolutely phenomenal. Definitely a classic!!!
