Ascensiones en Mpumalanga por Albert Botha

Lovely route. A textbook heelhook jug combo start. The topout is where the spice starts.

Went up again as a progress measure. Love this route.

Foot slipped on the onsight attempt. Felt great on the route though. Long and sustained.

Really sad that I missed the onsight on this one. Still an amazing route.

What and amazing line. The rock is secure and the holds are good. Loved this journey.

Get high and fly.

The tree is a bit annoying. You can fall into it as you climb up and past it.

And so the work to send starts. Hope to get it soon. First 4 sessions were good. Got the beta down. Now just have to send.

Dropped the onsight at the chains. Can't believe it! Very sick climb with amazing run-outs. Prepare for some flying.

A hard 22.

Very sick climb. Dropped the onsight with the chains at my chest.

Lovely climb. Match handed my hands on the side pull before getting the left hand undercling. So much easier.

Jugs all the way.

As usual for Botshabelo lovely sloper.

The most beautiful boulder I've found so far. The slopers on this climb are the definition of the word. I believe there is a more static way of doing it but I used the big hole + righthand crimp to get my left foot on the start hold and then slam up to the first sloper with the left hand.

Amazing top out.

My condolences if you're short.

Dropped the onsight. Read the beta wrong and used the wrong holds. Pretty sick climb though.

Getting over the second roof proved to be quite difficult for me. If you're shorter the obvious feet are at perfect height. Some faffing was needed for me to find lower feet.

Foot slipped so I didn't get the onsight. Will get it later.

And a classic was born. What an amazing traverse. Great holds with some bad feet is always a good combination for creativity.

A great face climb with some good crimps.

This one actually took me a few tries. Not because the climb is difficult but because climbing that high alone on rock that I don't know the integrity of freaked me out a bit. It's a really fun climb.

Nice high feet gets you up fast and easy.

Loved this one. Not your normal face on climbing. It starts in a bit of a chimney and then moves out onto the face.

Great flow. Jugs pretty much all the way.

Very interesting rock formation rarely found in Boven. Get on it just for the experience.

Was a bit stomped at the crux. But found some nice dynamic beta deadpointing to the nice jug under the roof.

Pretty tricky for a 20.

At the crux there is a great left hand crimp that most people don't use. Using it makes the crux pretty easy.

Very sick climb with two lovely roofs to get over. The holds are pretty good all the way up. The last bolt is where people get shut down because of the runout and interesting moves.
