Routes in Tafelberg for selected grade

Climb the chimney

Start: Walk past the 'Pillar Box', past the blank wall until you reach a large free-standing block beneath an undercut wall with Huecos.

1. [16] 40m

   Step off the block and pull awkwardly on to the sloping ledge using low down jugs (boulder problem (awkward)). Move right 3m and climb up on jugs to reach a ledge, move right again to a right tending two-toned crack. Stance at the ledge.

2. [14] 10m

   Walk ±6-10m left, and climb the vague recess to a ledge.

3. [14] 40m

   Climb more or less straight up to the black and red overlaps. Pull thru on jugs. Make your way to a rock plateau.

4. [14] 15m

   Walk left to the 'Apathy Wall' there is a gully (leads to descent gully) to the right of the 'Apathy Wall'. There are 2 prominent boulders on the right before the gully entrance. They are close to the main wall. Start off the left one. Climb to the top. Variation: This last pitch is pretty bland. A way better finish would be to climb 'Apathy'.

Aspect: Looking up at the descent gully on the left, halfway up.

Climb the obvious break to the top.

The wall immediately left of 'Tradesman's Entrance' Start in the right-hand corner, Climb the black rippled wall to the top.

This route is found on the left of the narrow slot as you walk from the decent gully to the Apathy wall.

An easy but fun route on a short face perpendicular and about 30m right of the Apathy wall. Either rap from a good mushroom to the right of Sundial, or scramble down opposite the Arête route.

The right hand of 4 lines on the small wall just right of the Honeymoon Suite cave and directly below the Spout Cave balcony

20 m (16) Start just around the corner on the right of the wall. Pull up directly below the overhanging crack and follow it to the Sundeck above Spout Cave.

From Spout cave, as you walk up to the sunset platform, continue up and slightly left past a short, white wall to a short bulging buttress.

Start up the ramp, and head a bit left to a left-slanting crack. Pull over the bulge and continue to the top. Descent: Walk left along a platform and then scramble down some boulders back to the base.

1. [16] 30m:

   Climb the chimney awkwardly to a ledge, where a tricky mantel up and to the left allows you to backstep against the back wall. Proceed upwards to the very obvious orange open book, below the huge roof. Climb the open book to a ledge about 2 m below the roof (one ledge higher than the Encore Crag traverse) and then traverse right about 5 m to a stance.

2. [15] 25m:

   From the right hand side of the stance climb more or less straight up on jugs to the top of the crag.

1. [16] 25m

   Start up the juggy face, moving right thru a few ledges, climb the Hueco's and cracks to the stance. Might be better to stance below the descent route as better coms and less drag.

2. [13] 15m

   Climb fairly straight up the face, thru a small overhang and then to top out.

Start to the right of a low overhang to the right of 'The Rock Basin Route'

Start in the chimney just right of the drip.
