A Bronkies classic! Long and sustained! Start up a thin face below the overlap. Turn overlap on the right and head up to the ledge. Steep moves lead up the face to a rest before the break through the overhangs above. These overhangs will normally see some impressive ‘styling’ over a weekend.

Sit Down Start. Both hands on the shelf at the base of the large scoop. Climb straight up the right side of the scoop to top out.

Listed as a classic in the guidebook

To the immediate right of Leap of Faith. Slightly tricky and crimpy start, then lovely moves through the middle section. Keep your nerve through the slabby run-out after the last bolt.

Same start into the scoop as Turbulence, but at the second bolt keep moving rightwards and up. A beautiful route.

Permadraws at the anchor

Cool start, chains been lowered to better position to avoid rope damage.

Dilemma indeed, but fun once you work it out. Beware of loose flakey rock on right hand side between bolts 5 & 6.

Start 2-3m right of the BAD KARMA recess. Climb the smooth orangey-red wall on good incuts. Tend left towards the arete. Not as easy as it looks, and much harder for midgets.

Fine climb up the middle of the face.

Fine moves up the steep left arête on positive holds. Long and pumpy.

Starting 6 -7m right of 'The Lorax', climb past the overlap into a groove. Figure out which is the easier finish for you.

Climb the face to the left of 'Butterfly Snowstorm'.

Top anchors are in an indent and therefore not visible from below.

Climbs the recess about 4m to the right of the loose pillar, for about 15m. Some cranking crack climbing.

Unconventional climb, with interesting roof moves.

Takes the open book just right of No More Freeloaders and continues over the bulge at the top on to a small slab. It is possible to duck left at the top into a jam crack to avoid the crux (Pom-Pom option,17)

The climb starts in the obvious crack. Climb this crack until it is possible to move out left. Continue up the face to finish with a mantle at the top to clip the chains.

Climb the smooth, light-coloured face to the right of the dark crack / recess. Don’t reach past the edge of the face.

Standing Start, right hand in rail, left hand on sidepull. Climb along the left hand crack and top out.

Start 8m right of 'Grunt'. Dynamic start onto jugs can also be done statically if tall (to cheat: use the tree or traverse from the right). Climb a few meters to a ledge, then some face moves to chains. Awesome photo opportunity of climb, from ledges out right of chains.

20/6b

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

1. 6 bolts

2. 10 bolts

3. 4 bolts

Phenomenal climbing on the steep face 6m right of the 'Babies' Blood Gives Me Gas' corner.

Starts to the right of the face around the corner from 'Women Ain't Nothing But Trouble', opposite the large tree. Follow the crack all the way to the top.

Layback, stem and crank through the steep start. Easy climbing then takes you to within a few meters of the top. You should climb straight up the final face, but the crack to the right is awfully tempting.

Climbs the shallow corner just left of Mini Me, and then up through the rooflet and finger crack above. The bottom 3/4 of the climb are about grade 15.

Originally opened as an aid route, it was freed to produce one of Monteseel’s most popular routes. Starts from a large block on a wide ledge above the path.

Climb up to a rail below a small roof. Stretch through the roof on a hand jam to an inset jug on the left. Continue up the steep face above. Move left to a large flake and exit easily to the top.

Has a left slanting crack in the upper section. Start directly under the crack, 4m right of 'The Lorax' tag. An optional extension goes 2-3m up to a 2nd set of anchors on the right.

A nice jamming, stemming and lay back crack that can teach new skills to sport climbers.

Follow the line of bolts straight up the face to the left of 'Reminiscing' .

This route is a combination of two climbs, the original Fall Out up to the big ledge, and an aid route opened by Des Watkins, called Lollipop, from the ledge to the top. The aid route was freed by Brian Gross on top rope in 1976. The result is a good introduction to steep and technical climbing.

Start in the middle of the face. Climb up to the rail and using a hand jam, stretch up to a thinner rail. Continue up a crack, past a ring peg to a narrow, sloping ledge. Move right and climb a crack to the large ledge. Climb the overhanging crack above to a rail. Move left and finish up a recess.

Left of 'Sport Climbing Is Dead'

Climb rightwards up the arete

A little way along the path approaching from the left of 'Hallucinogenic Wall'. Climb the face up to a small roof and up to the chains above.

Up the dihedral then finish up the face.

Powerful moves left and up to exit on the right side of the head-wall; easier if you’re tall..

The first line around the corner, right of 'Precision Feather'. Hard and scary if you can't reach the layback!

A delicate exercise in nut placing. This worthy trip takes the left side of the Castle where there is an orange overhang with a steep grey wall above. A 18m doddle up the lower slabs ends at a good belay in horizontal cracks some 5m below the overhang. Up this direct via a slanting flake and the grey wall above is reached by way of a thin vertical crack up on the right. Move up delicately 5m to good pro. Mantelshelf steep wall above and easier ground to top.

2nd route from the left on the main wall. Powerful, bouldery start to establish yourself on the first ledge, before some technical moves until above the 4th bolt. More mellow middle section before the final, tricky overhang before the anchors. Take care - there may still be a couple of loose flakes.

Longest route at baboon cliff. The opening 10-15m are the crux, with tricky slab climbing on small edges up to a ledge. Then mellower slab to a huge ledge, before the final fun moves up a detached boulder to the anchor.

This (rude) line climbs through the overlap from a corner, 15m right of 'Little Red Riding Hood'.

Climbs the side closest to the main mountain. Pull on some fun pockets to the top.

This route, just to the right of the start of 'Oubaas' uses the last bolt and exit chains of 'Oubaas' but takes the direct line through the overhang.

1. [17] 17m

2. [16] 20m

3. [20] 10m

4. [16] 30m

A classic - sustained mix of technical face climbing and cranky pulls using amazing holds. Placement of the bolt on Direct Variation through final overlap (to the right) confuses finish - ignore this bolt.

Crux is around the 7/8th bolt.

On the tower on the left. Start from the rock platform on the right. ±1-2m above the ground

This is the direct line for 'Amajuba' and was only possible once most of the dodgy looking large overhang to the right of the 'Amajuba' start fell down the mountainside. Take the line of bolts through the overhang to the right of the “Amajuba” start. From the ledge, finish up 'Amajuba'. A nice sustained line. You will need a sling for the top as noted for 'Amajuba'.

Crux at the end. Shares anchor with No Hurry in Kenya

Sit-start and climb the easy corner.

The corner crack between the two faces is climbed free (natural pro).

Sit-start with good hold under roof and climb up the large flake.

starts 4m right of RR on a rocky ledge in a corner. Tricky start.

First, second and third ascensionists say 20, and without gloves. There is talk of it being harder. Def harder if you can not hand jam. I am open to upgrading.

Situated in the middle of the short face on the very left.

On the red face facing south picnic tree. One bolt at start, then traverse diagonally to the right, move up to holes. Then traverse left on horizontal crack until it thins down, with another bolt above the crack. Finish at bolted anchors.

The first right leaning crack off the ledge, about 6m right of 'Doa'. A bouldery move to gain the slab.

Fully but spaced bolted.
