Stagefright (6b)

Time Like Stone (7b+) What an efficient afternoon! Adam and I abseil in, place draws and camera, and both send our projects first go and no warmup . . . with great video footage I nearly had my rope stolen and lost my shoe over the edge and adam nearly tipped his gopro into the pool in two sessions there. Keep everything tied down and wear a helmet!

Stagefright (6b) Classic. Cheers AvT for this one. Rapped in so only did top two pitches, would be keen to do the bottom pitch sometime. Second pitch was solid 20 and top pitch fun 18.

Encore (6c) Good route with a fantastic final pitch. Props to first ascencionists. Style is balancy and technical but not powerful. Well bolted. Look out for the chains (final pitch) which were covered in grass when I climbed it. Thanks Hannelie for getting me out of my umgeni rut :)
