This route is just right of Yellowwood Crack and the outstanding feature is the large overhang on the 5th pitch. The overhang is climbed with nothing less that perfect hand jambs and is well protected with cams.
Climb up onto the blocks on the right and with an awkward start climb the cracks to a ledge. Place a large cam and turn the overhang with a reach crank. Continue easily to the large ledge system.
Gear. Standard rack. No RP's needed. For convenience double up on 1/4, 1/2, 1, 1.5 inch cams. Descent. Head left to the Timerity abseil. FA: Charles Edelstein, D. Steyn, M Versfeld & Willem le Roux, Jan 2016 | 270m, 8 | |||

The route traverses in from the right and the start is marked with a cairn.
Descent is an elegant and relatively safe 4 or 5 abseils. 60m ropes are recommended. Walk horizontally 60m over blocks then bushes past the gulley and then blocks to find a thread below.

Leisure Time is the easier and direct version of Business Time. The route is destined to become a classic as it is the most direct route on the amphitheatre, has no stopper moves, has mostly excellent rock and excellent protection. It is nevertheless, a full service Yellowwood route with varied and intricate.
Most of the climbing is grade 18 and 19 and the 20 pitch on the direct Leisure pitch is well protected but classic Yellowwood climbing requiring focus and thought. The Business Time pitch is tricky and bold. Make sure you have a blue and or black alien for the crux. FA: Charles Edelstein & Richard Halsey, Dec 2015 | 240m, 6 | |||
