The first sport route on the left. Begin up an easy slab to steeper terrain. Somewhat runout.

This route was rebolted in January 2020. The bolt placements were kept the same as the FA party. Currently (1/25/20) no anchor but it's possible to traverse right to an anchor.

First impressions are that the grade is 22 A2, but we would be happy for a second ascent party to downgrade the difficulty. Will write up description, but anyone wanting to repeat the route, can contact me at any time. Three pitches, right-hand side of Springs Wall, through the left side of overhangs.

Climb the same start as 'Mistral' and continue up the line of the wide crack to the top.

Historic route number: 46

This is the continuation of the chimney on 'Inside Job'.

Historic route number: 87

Up the grey slab 20' right of 'Slam', this steepens to a good ledge capped by a roof. Move up left and swing left on good jugs to the next ledge. Move right to a crack, climb this to a ledge, and boulders to the top.

Historic route number: 93

To the right of the previous route there are two parallel cracks. The left one starts in a corner. Climb up the corner and continue up the crack. Towards the top move rightwards.

Historic route number: 94

Climb the prominent wide gully on the SE Face. Take the right-hand branch leading to the main ridge at a prominent sharp V-notch. The most difficult parts are just before reaching the main ridge, and from here to the summit.

Variation: Where the gully branches, the left-hand route may be taken. This gully, less clearly defined, joins the other route on the summit ridge. (Grade III, J I Moore and H C Pereira, Aug. 1949). When free of snow this gully can be climbed down without abseiling (III). The tower buttress right of the South-East Gully may also have been climbed by a Cape Town University party, in January 1965.

Time: Half a day. An obvious fully leads to the North-East Ridge. Then rope down to another gully which leads to the summit. A much better (if harder) variation to this route is to follow the first gully until the wall steepens. Go up and traverse left, then follow cracks up to a tat belay. Fun, maybe Severe climbing with a well-protected crux. From belay go up until te ridge, then follow right to top. Descent is back down the same route on tat anchors. Check this and add your own tat. 3 proper pitches, the initial gully can easily be scrambled or simul-climbed.

Routes 11,12,13 and 14 start right of the big pinnacle. It is possible to traverse right to these from the pinnacle area, though the traverse is harder than any move on the climbs. Climb a right-trending chimney to steepening and hence a tree belay. Now easy rocks to the top.
