26 Middle Aged Crisis

Rebolted late 2016. 2nd, 3rd and 4th bolts seemed newer than the rest and was not replaced. May need a bolt between 4th and 5th. Take extra caution when attempting this line before more bolts are added.

25 Demons of Desire

The obvious and stunning leaning groove. Belay off the bolt on the ramp. Feels traddy so even if you climb 30, prepare to struggle. MCSA/Boven Fund hardware. Rebolted Andrew Pedley in 2015

24 Phantom Bolter

This is an awesome line following the easiest looking line above the ramp. The route was opened on gear by Stewart Middlemiss in 1992/93, but was bolted in 2015 so that more climbers can safely benefit from it. Since it was bolted, a jug has broken off this line, making the start of this line a bit precarious. MCSA/Boven Fund hardware.

Amazing to think this one was hiding for so many years, just like Homo Naledi. It’s big and steep and will blow your mind and your forearms. Starts at the top of the ramp in the Middle Sector. Belay is easiest from the stream. MCSA/Boven Fund hardware.

20 Double or Nothing

Directly opposite Enigma. This line has awesome juggy climbing with intricate movements spicing things up a little. Lower off chains have been provided to clean with a 60m (This is not a multipitch!!!). A 70 meter rope gets the climber down to the ledge where the first bolt is clipped, if the belayer joins him on the ledge. Please tie a knot in the end of your rope to avoid accidents from happening. Really worth the mission.
