Routes in Commando Corner

The next two lines are about 120m further North of the previous two routes. You can walk or scramble around the base of the cliffs where you will see the obvious wall (with bolts), or you can abseil in from the top. Please do not destroy the succulents on the route. It is easily climbed in its current state.

Route to the left of On Commando. Nice climbing for the grade, restrained bolting keeps it interesting.

Starts on the RHS of the arete on the huge anthill 30m to the right of Commando Corner.

There is an abseil bolt in point which can be found 5m past the deep crack

If you walk to the right along the cliff face for 10m you will find a safe scramble out.

This is the line of bolts to the left of Jameson Raid. For a 14 it will make you think, but the holds are there.

There is a bolt at the top to safely access the top of the route while starting the abseil. The route is quite different with small holds, pockets and balancy moves. It is also fairly sustained. You should top out as the exit move is quite interesting.

Start to the right of the fig tree and follow the bolts through the overlaps to the chains. Grade 18/19. Relatively new route - look out for loose rock. If you want to top rope it be careful as the chains are below steepish ground. Best use draws.

Leander and Starr are Jameson’s first names.

Fairly adventurous route that ends up climbing the prominent arete. About 10 m further right of Leander Starr. If you exit add about 2 grades. Can get to the chains/glue-in bolts from the top using an excellent thread for a sling. Watch rope tracking to minimise rope drag and useful to have longer draws for some clips. Name due to number of trips made to bolt due to problems with drill. First glue-in route at Jan Smuts.

Clip the first two bolts of Younge Slutz, then break off right through the roof. Really awesome route with some unique moves. Two hands-off rests and safe bolting make this an excellent route for those new to the grade.

Climb the easy stairs up to the first bolt. Stay right of the bolts up through the open book and right onto the ledge. Staying right, climb up and over the mini roof. Easy climbing to the chains. Long draw recommended for the third bolt. There's a safety bolt on the top for threading the chains from above for top roping/abseiling off the chains.

Start up Leander Starr, branch left before the ledge and traverse to the arête. Finish straight up.

Harder if one keeps directly over the bolts and does not go into the corner crack.

Starts about six metres right of Younge Slutz. Fun climbing to gain the ledge (with an interesting little cave) above the big roof.

Glue-in bolts a few metres right of For Volk's Sake. Named after the mess around the bottom and scramble as well as current affairs and during Jan Smuts time.
