Routes in South Africa

From alcove, up wall to crack and tricky exit.

SS, move L and R to follow the arete.

The arête left of the prominent crack in the corner.

The seaside face of boulder C has some amazing high ball problems on a smooth face. I have not climbed them due to their height and the potential of falling, but there are at least 3 problems. Please don’t bolt.

Traverse from right to left just below the top of the boulder. Eliminate the top of the boulder. Start up A9 to about 1m from the top then traverse leftwards and finish up the left arete (the top of A1).

Sit-start on crimp rail (x), left hand to layaway slot (x), right hand to Letterbox (x), left hand to black jug (x), right hand to top jug (x).

Stand start for Miskajaatkat

Start on big pocket and climb straight out.

Crouch-start in the left end of the big undercling and climb the shattered crack.

Ultra Classic line with the lay-back corner on the face.

Start on "keep it tight" and traverse left to top-out on "Another way"

Climb the obvious crack that starts vertical and bends to become almost horizontal. Once you see a thin crack coming from the ground meeting the big crack you will be climbing, pull up and smear to another crack (that is the end of Silloette crack). Make your way to some big blocks in order to build your anchor.

Fun novelty problem. Sit start on a huge jug, climb directly up to top out. DO NOT WANDER OFF LEFTWARDS! Some 4+'s are harder than others...

Start with hands in lowest rail just left of centre of face. top out.

Sit start to left of face. Climb face on rails to top out.

Sit start at the bottom L in the overhang and move in an S shape R and then L to exit.

BS, climb to TO.

Just left of Surita’s revenge, around the arete you will find a prominent hold to match on. That’s your start. Bump to the crimp on your right, and then go diagonally left to top out.

Some nonsense eliminate.

Start on the slab on good jugs to the far right. Climb left and awkwardly on good holds and do a hard, big move to get through the gap and finish straight up overhang. Long and epic.

Climb the easy looking face.

Start as Black Mango Chutney but climb out left along seam.

Start from the river bed at the base of the boulders, a spot is a good plan here to stop the climber falling backward into the rock. Continue up as for 'Vandals'. This variation adds a bit of pump to the already sustained 'Vandals'.

Start same as Colin the Librarian and tops out all the way to the sharpish jugs.

Start on the lip next to Pure Beef Burger and mantle up.

Sit-start and head up right to a sharp right hand pocket, and then up the little prow to finish.

Climb the scooped face up the middle.

No description.

Climb the right hand crack of the 2 cracks mentioned in AURORA BOREALIS.

Start low on the shelf. Reach up for jug and traverse right to top out same as Hyrax

Climb straight up the centre of the face on exceptionally small holds. The crux being just after a move left is a pull-up on a rounded, small finger hold. Keep to the left as you approach the top.

Climb up to the ledge below Crack of Doom, then pull over the overhang and climb the slight buttress above, not using the crack on the right. The initial move is the crux (from ledge). The rest of the climb is delicate.

Sit start in the low rail, CD to TO.

Breaks out left at the top of Paws.

Sit-start on low boulder, climb through bulge on slopers. TO on R (easy but scary).

Stand start on a reinforced hold and move up to the lip.

Climb the prow to top out. (Easier foot-free)

Sit Down Start. Both hands on large shelf. Climb up right using in-cut edges to top out.

Video

Climb up and TO using an undercling and sloper on the lip.

Old bolts!

Sit start in the crack, left-hand up to gaston, right foot onto lip, then climb diagonally right to get to the rail on L4. Very tall people can simply reach from the starting crack to the finishing jugs, without using the gaston - at grade 2c+.

FROM MID STANCE ON THE RIGHT FACING SLAB UP THE ARETE AND INTO THE CRACK SYSTEM TO TOP

Sit start with BH in the middle of the scoop, mantle onto scoop.

Climb the break 20 meters to the right of 'Spare Rib'.

BS on side pull, directly up arête.

Low feet start on jugs. Pull through directly

This gully provides a pleasant descent route. Two abseils of 20m and 14m from big yellowwood trees are required during the descent.

Sit start and climb up left using the gaston/lay back side pull.

Stand start on crimps

(Dangerous) Stand-start below the obvious crack right of the Accountant's Project and climb directly up and out. Top-out is scary.

Climb up the centre of the face. Really cool - used to be a project in Guy Holwill's guide.

A long-time classic snaking it's way up a steep granite wall courtesy of a fat vein of juggy quartz.
