| Figures on a Landscape (7b) | The direct start to Shadows in the Rain. Beautiful direct line up the centre of the Shadows wall. Three bolts at the bottom then only the trad excellence of Shadows in the Rain. |

| Shadows in the Rain (7b) | Perhaps the best grade 26 (7b) trad line at Monteseel. Amazingly few ascents in its 35 yr history. This was a repeat for me 30 yrs after I first climbed it. Rebolted the start and added two glue in belay anchors at the top. Stellar route |

| Child of Darkness (7a+) | Thanks Warwick and Johnny for the gear beta and the psyche. Desperate due to not being rehearsed and horrendous mantle over the top in the rain. Awesome route. |

| White Rider (7b) | Thought it was soft until the lead go when my puny sport climbing brain nearly made me lose it on the last move. Stoked to have done this one. Apparently the first route of the grade in South Africa. |

| Child of Darkness (7a+) | Cool climb. Went up once on a toprope to have a look at the moves. Quite a struggle placing the gear on lead, almost pumped out before the crux. Lots to learn! |

| Granny's souped up wheelchair (6c+) | Such a cool little wall. This was fairly scary but way less so than my ascent of Pin Up. Awesome morning and great conditions. |

| No Feet (4c) | I don't normally log routes this easy but this was pretty scary for a 13. Either the route description is a bit optimistic ("well protected") or I just don't know how to place gear or keep it from falling out after I've placed it . . . |

| Child of Darkness (7a+) | Chuffed. Climbed around the low triangular roof on the left. Mr Camp said that's not a sin and I wasn't interested in doing the first moves with no pro :/ |
