Same start as Untitled 1 (Fabian's Folly) climbing up to the right of knife edge using it as an arete

Standstart with RH on side pull and LH pressing down into low crack, dyno up to good central jug TO

SS in the bucket near the arete and move up the face on crimps (problem is to the L of 1 around the corner).

SS with RH on sloper and LH in pocket. Move up the arete to TO. Boulder on the R is off route.

Stand start with high foot and climb the middle streak of this 5m tall granite slab.

Starts up the left side of the sharp fin (directly under the steep prow above) to a narrow ledge. Pull through the roof and move slightly right to a steep layback and then continue directly up the steep arete to the top. At the crux keep an eye out for a key two-finger pocket that is not immediately obvious. Consensus grading needed - probably 24 with the crux beta.

Starts on the small arete on the left of the boulder, begin with both hands on the hold. Once started continue to the small ledge and then to the top of the boulder. Mantle onto of the boulder to complete.

SDS and climb the arete move R.

SDS on the left arete (at A1) and traverse the boulder and finish up A10.

SDS on the right arete (same start for A9) traverse leftwards and finish on the left arete (finish same as A1).

Traverse from left to right just below the top of the boulder. Eliminate the top of the boulder. Start up A2 to the good rail near the top, traverse rightwards and finish up the right arete.

Traverse from right to left just below the top of the boulder. Eliminate the top of the boulder. Start up A9 to about 1m from the top then traverse leftwards and finish up the left arete (the top of A1).

SDS left hand in layback/undercling, go up then diagonally right to the top

SDS on the left arete, traverse the lip and mantel about 1m from the right arete. A fun alternative is to not use the low feet grips except one at the start, so you do the lip traverse heal hooking.

Sit-start with left hand on pinch and right hand on diagonal sidepull, move straight up and then up right to top-out. (The separated piece at the base is off for feet)

Sit-start with left hand on a low edge and right hand high on an edge, left hand to a sidepull. Everything left of the crack is off for hands.

Start: while this route does have lower pitches, they are not worth doing. The route starts beneath a 7m roof just left of the upper pitches of Frasers Frontal, and so taking the first two pitches of Posternation would be about the most direct line there however as it starts on the halfway ledge most any route- or indeed walking from the right- will get you to the start.

1. Climb the roof crack and stance on the right.

2. Head diagonally left to gain a recess, which is climbed to the top.

Take the first 4 pitches of 'Roulette' until the roof. Pull onto the face and traverse right on the lip of the roof until the overhang below your feet ends, and then straight up the wall above (to the left of the top pitch of 'Myrrh').

Start: This climb is on 'Fountain Ledge', Table Mountain. The most notable nearby feature is the enormous roof of 'Elevator' about 20m up. Directly below the enormous roof is a big free-standing pillar. Scramble up behind the big pillar for 8m and then walk 10m along a ledge to the left to just beyond the Elevator roof.

1. [24] 16m At the point where the ledge does a sharp right turn, the ledge becomes flat and broad, and there is a smaller ledge a metre higher. Step up onto the higher ledge and climb the shallow recess to the roof. Micro nuts are essential gear. Climb through the stepped-out roof using the big pockets to reach a rail. Rail out to the left over the overhang without feet. Continue around the corner and mantelshelf a small platform. Climb the corner for 3m to make a semi-hanging stance.

2. [25] 30m Continue up the corner system for a couple of metres then move out to the right for a couple of metres. Continue straight up the series of horizontal bands and rails to reach the 'Staircase' Traverse below a small corner/flake feature a metre or two above. Climb this feature and continue up and right on the smooth white wall above. Then head up leftwards to the roof. Climb through the roof and continue up to a small ledge. Continue up to a big ledge to stance. Scramble left for 15m to the huge flat boulder with a fixed abseil, else climb easily to the top.

Start as for Tour de Force. Climb the finger crack through the roof.

Pitch 5: 15m Grade 20 Climb up to the top

NOTE: one can also walk in from the tea cave level and do pitch 3 and then do the money pitch (4) From the big ledge above and lower off the pegs like a sport route And rap off tat down Pitch 3 then walk back to the tea cave

1. [20] 40m

2. [25] 30m

Varied climbing, with a short, fierce section on the crux pitch.

1. 10m (18) Climb the Bust Up crack to the small ledge on the left.

2. 15m (22) Start by an old peg and climb up ~3m to a thin rail. Traverse left to the next old peg and follow the crack system up and very slightly right to reach the stance shared with Daddy Long Legs (peg under a small overlap)

3. 15m (25/26) Follow the crack on the right side of the stance to the left end of a narrow roof. Pull up to some underclings and traverse ~3m right and then up to a thin rail (micro cams useful). A hard move up to the next rail and then a long pull to a pocket above the narrow overlap. Head diagonally left to the wide rail below the main roof at the height of the Bust Up flake. Abseil point (hex and cam) in situ.

The pegs on pitch 2 were from a potential alternate start to Bust Up attempted by Greg Mosely and Andy Killick in 1971!

1. 28m (24) Start as for Incy Wincy Spider. At the first rail, move left and then up over easy ground aiming for the bottom part of the darker grey face. At this point, there is a sickle-shaped flake up and right (very loose). Traverse 1m left at the finger rail and then straight up the steep face to the next set of rails. Move 1.5m left and follow the right side of the vague arête, then up the short slab to the narrow ledge. Stance at an old peg and ring.

2. 15m (25) Bring small and micro cams for this pitch. Place a high wire on the Bust Up pitch, and then move back down and left across the blunt arête. Follow the good holds just left of the arête until the wall blanks out. From the undercling, traverse ~2m left using two small uncut holds and then up to a large side-pull below a handrail. Head straight up past some large pockets to a rail below the roof (and garden above). Move slightly right to a hanging stance with a good foothold.

Pitch 3. 20m (22) Traverse right, under the Bust Up roof flake, and all the way to join the last few moves of Uber Huber. Abseil from fixed gear to the start of the route. If you want to top out, traverse right then join Bust Up.

A steep, sustained pitch up to the Bust Up ledge.

Start as for Black Widow but at the first rail continue straight up. Follow a slab to the right of the loose flake (slight run out) to a curved series of side pulls. Traverse ~1.5m left until able to pull up to the good rail. Step right and pull up to the next set of rails. Move left to the large undercling and blast straight up to the far right end of the Bust Up ledge. Consensus grading required

A steep, sustained pitch, which mirrors Synapse. Access the left end of the Flakes Traverse (several route options)

Start as for Out to Lunch. At the first roof, rail about 3m right (120cm gear extensions useful) and pull through the break (shared with Cuckoos Nest). Continue up to the next rail, where Cuckoos heads up the crack to the left. At this point move right about 1m and up the steep face on side pulls, past a thin rail, to below an overlap. Traverse right on underclings and pull over the slight bulge to reach the vague corner, which ends at a finger rail. Traverse about 3m right to the Synapse anchor. Consensus grading needed, not technically too hard, but pretty pumpy!

Excellent single pitch located on the Gendarme level vegetated band, near the start of Cat's Pyjamas. Almost 5 star. Start up a short crack and then a short face to first roof - pull through (tricky) to a rest below the second roof. Hard moves at the lip lead leftward to a rail and then up to a small ledge with a bush. Up easily to big ledge.

Start with left hand on layaway slot (x), right hand to Letterbox (x), left hand to black jug (x), right hand to top jug (x).
