Vie in Bester Crag

Far-left of the crag. Mantle into a scoop and climb out left up a broken, semi overhanging face.

Climb up the crack using the rocks behind you to gain the blank looking face. Crimpy climbing takes you to some awesome hauling on large holds to the top.

Starts on a pedestal.

A long journey up a beautiful face.

Hard, crimpy, technical face low down takes you into an awesome crack feature. Continuous and airy to the chains.

Beautiful into climbing up the scoopy face of your dreams takes you into the crux of your nightmares. Recommended.

Open project. May need a cheesy intro from the right to make it go.

Crimpy face, grade confirmation needed

Open project.

Irregular moves through a roof, jugs, with a spicy slab at the top.

Think I agree with initial consensus of 29. Contender for best at this grade I've done in the cape. Quite brutal yet delicate 7A-ish start to a good rest, followed by some pumpy monkey business and another desperate mid crux. Then some fun throws to a final delicate slab crux right below the chains. Although tempting, I stuck left at the end as per bolter's intention, avoiding the cop-out jug exit. Thanks to Pete for having an eye for this truly unique future classic - Robin Klintworth (FA)

A technical masterpiece. Starts on the corner then move out left and up.

Boulder your way through the immaculate cruxy overhanging stepped arete.

Starts at the belayer bolt. Traverse out from under the roof and climb up a slabby face. Airy!

Mantle into a scoop under the roof and blast through the bouldery roof.

Bouldery sequence through the overhang.

First-line on the farm. Already a classic. A tall line with an excellent boulder problem at every bolt.

Gnarly off-width if you get too involved.
