Big roof on path near Turtle area - Michael Janata

Rad little roof climb with a powerful dynamic throw - Rowan Toselli

Sit start on the low shelf, move up into the undercling above and then CD to TO.

Low start off underclings to "my hip don't hop"

Sit start in the cave, climb the roof to the left to top out

The last bit of wind swell. Start on the crimp shield and climb up and right.

Start as for Da Capo, but head left into the Smiley crimp and climb directly up from there.

Start at the exit of Through the Core, climb through the cave and TO as for the Beast

Is this the same route at the Project for this boulder?

Dom Riordan

Start on the jug rail deep in the cave and escape up the black streak. Helps to have long arms.

Start with both hands in the rail, CD on crimps to TO. There are no tricks, ether you can pull up on the LH crimp or, more likely, you can't.

Start on the rail between Bring Out the Gimp and the Accountant's Project, and climb directly up and over the blunt prow. Happy slapping!

Marijus Šmigelskis: > The big wall project!

Sit-start in small cave, CDL on slopers to a sloper on the lip, then TO.

Fun new climb that needs a lot of balance. Three holds, one krunk ring-finger mono match and a whole lot of smearing. Its about 250m up and lightly to the left from Malboro Man - Rowan Toselli

Hidden gem deep inside the cave next to Forces of Darkness. Start on a good jug at the back of the cave and climb the hanging prow/bulge all the way out on slopers and pockets. Props to Matty and Tom for finding it.

Sit-start 1m right of Roof 'n Slab and climb through the roof, do one move CDR on the lip, then CD up the slab.

sit to evan's crack, but climb the compression prow

Starts as for Low Down and Dirty, but climbs out the cave to the right instead.

Start under the cave

Tricky first move. Something to try if you're too short for Malboro Man - Robbie Fraser

Start as for through the core but finish up the wasp.

First 7b in Topside

"Not sure if this is meant to be an eliminate but felt more like 7A or it’s just a reach thing." - Jarryd New

Start with underclings on the right, traverse left all the way around the corner. Strong fingers and arms will help.

Sit start with incut layback for the LH and good slopey edge for RH, CD up on slopers.

Just needed some flow. Felt more like a 7c or possibly harder, very tricky to grade - Rowan Toselli

Cutloose Climbing

Start with both hands on large flat hold. traverse left along thin seam on crimp to reach jug in overlap then top out.

After doing Niks is Nodig I linked from the start of Buoyancy into the topout of Niks to make Sitrus is Nodig 7C ... give it a go and let me know what you think. Should be at least 7C seeing as it is definitely harder than Enhanced Coziness. - Chev

Climb the wall.

Sit start and climb the arete

Better than snake - Robin Wilson

Start as for Mr Smiley, but finish as for The Don.

right of Full Throttle

Sit start in centre of face with both hands on crimp's. climb directly up to TO, left of the roof via a jug. This could be the same problem as Borotvahad?

Start on the right, traverse left along the rail (without using the high pocket) to finish on the slab.

Stand-start on a good pocket for the right hand, go up and left to a sidepull and climb straight up and out using the huge jug. Used to be a project in Guy Holwill's guide.

The wall left on the heart feels no bass block

Sit start below right arete with left-hand on low layaway and right hand on arete. Reach up right for sloper around arete then traverse thin seam left on crimp's to finish on jugs at end of the seam.

Start as for B3, then drop into the low underclings, move L, then climb B1. All holds on Punji are off route (except the starting undercling obviously).

Pronounced P'po shar. Start with left-hand on arete. Jump for big sloper on face with right hand then match hands and climb diagonally right on desperately slopey holds to a good edge, then top out. The jug pocket way on the right is obviously off route. If you can reach the finishing edge with your foot still hooking the arete, then it's probably only 6cish - but this is only relevant to very tall customers.

Very cool new morpho line on a suspended boulder. Some fun toe hook trickery. Not sure on the grade, needs another ascent.

Cool boulder one level up from Bertie's Balcony - when you get to the turn-off to Berties, keep following the path up the hill until you see a pretty obvious boulder on your right.

Eliminate problem.

This is a contrived. but super cool, move. Because the original problem was to do this specific move, all the variations have been included. Start with both hands on the round sloper about 1m right of the arete, and your left foot on AA1's starting jug. Dyno to the rail/pocket above with your RH.

Named after Sergei Bubka - basically your charge along, dig your pole in and vault to the lip. Sit start on block with both hands on slanting layaway and feet on overhanging wall. Reach up to small flat hold then traverse left, past a big sloper to a pocket, keeping feet above the break. Dyno to the good hold on the lip then top out.

Meh! Campus then topout - Dan Archambault

Right hand arete pinch and dyno to jug then TO

Put your right foot on the jug and your left foot on an edge near the arete, then go up with your left hand. Obviously don't put your foot around the arete.

Sit start below arete (left hand in shallow scoop & right hand under roof) do a weird dyno then top out up the prow.

Amazing back-to-back double dyno on an immaculate high bloc - Rowan Toselli

Video

Sit start right of Butt Guster. Big throw up to an edge, then traverse left into Butt Guster and climb that problem.

Set up as for Jeremy’s Variation, go with RH.

Start on the jugs at the start of the roof, throw for the obvious hold in the middle of the roof, and then make it to the lip, and top out.

Pretty scary, since you are pulling moves over a sizeable fall. Shorter climbers might find it a little more challenging.

Sit start at the back of the roof (feet on the rucksack-sized block) climb along the discontinuous flake/seam to the lip, then to top out. Could be harder for tall climbers! Poor bastards.

📽️ Ascent by Rachelle de Charmoy at 5:01

Same start as Jeremy's jump, but dyno to top of boulder.

Start on obvious jug slot in the middle of the cave and climb out left on undercling pockets and crimps. Very morpho.

Video

Same as Shrek, but continue to top out.

Sit start on two crimps, climb out of the cave to your left and top out on some tricky vert moves.

Sit start on the right. climb diagonally left on huecos, crimps, slopers, underclings, pockets and jugs. Completely brilliant - tall and stiff for the grade.

right exit to ??

Large boulder around the hill from Low Down and Dirty, climb out from under bulge and traverse left along the seam to top-out. An obvious problem that needed to be done.

Traverse left along the slopers and edges until you can throw to top out

left exit through the hole ?

"In the true spirit of Cape Town and inspired by Dai Koyamada, I added a super low, probably contrived, but definitely harder start to Low Down and Dirty."

Sit start right of Backhand Winner, climb directly up to top out.

Start on the footholds of Otter's Pocket, go right.

Best 7b. 5x toe hooks and 2x heels FTW! - Rowan Toselli

Amazing classic line. Glad to have ticked this one off - Rowan Toselli

Sit starts on the layback jug and climbs into the stand.

Left on Tightest Kite String

Sit start to The Overthinker (I think? - Guy)

Crouch start with right hand on sloper sidepull and left hand on sloper scoop, climb straight up through roof via hueco, exit left up and over the lip on slopers. Block under the roof is out because it is not attached to the boulder

Landry Lushima

Don't use the slot for the end - Marijus

Sit-start as for ludic fallacy and climb straight through the bulge via small crimp. (big side pull feature to the right is off-route).

Start as for Creature. once you're in the big underclings, move out right and top out as for Amoeba

3 hard moves in a roof

Climb The Waspinator but continue and TO as for Bee's Niques

cool big move boulder! nice one griff! - Paul Robinson

Cool sloper problem on the opposite side to the captain graffiti boulder - Adam Ludford

SS on jugs below Pudgy Bitch traverse left on crimps to join

Second ascent of an awesome little addition by Majiek. This is an awesome little block with the best jug in the world! - Rowan Toselli
