Ascensioni in Newlands Forest da Wian van Zyl

Still working out the TO

Trying out the top half of compression session. I think it will go.

Working the top half of compression session.

So much contact strength needed for the TO, getting closer though!

This should go easily next time. Tricky TO.

Climbing with a friend who is new to the sport - this route was a very pleasant surprise. Really good for such a low-grade route. There are so many variations and eliminating holds makes for a fun warm-up. Hard to propose grades at this level, but based on the grading chart 4b+ should roughly translate in difficulty to a 16 in sport which seems fair.

Great climb. Didn't try very hard on the day, need to figure out the last move. Common opinion is that this route is one of the most sandbagged 6Bs in Cape Town, thus grade contribution of 6b+.
