The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (The ... - Climb ZA

The Left Wings
To get there walk as for the Superbowl and follow the path down the gully. This path splits, take the right, and often poorlydefined
path to the left. The routes start about 50m along. Shady after 11h30 or so depending on season.
HERMAN THE GERMAN 26 ** [10B]
Climb up the next route to the recess, rail 2m left and then up the headwall.
HERMAN'S ROUTE 24 ** [5D,N]
Stick clip the 1st bolt or place friends. Move up wall to gain recess. Climb right and up to a tree. There are no anchors.
First Ascent: Herman du Plessis 1992
CHUNKY MONKEY 27 **** [9D,A]
The route is located around the corner, 20m to the right of HERMAN'S ROUTE. It starts at blocks at a prominent roofed
arete, with a small roof at about 8m and a large square roof at 12 m. The line follows 7 bolts up this arete, railing out along
the lip of the large roof to end on a face at chains.
HOUNDS MOUSSE 25 [11D,A]
8m right of CHUNKEY MONKEY.
NEW YORK CHOCOLATE FUDGE CRUNCH 18 ** [10D,A]
There is a big corner topped by a roof just right of CHUNKY MONKEY. This route takes the arete right of this corner. The
lower offs are too small to fit both rope & draws through when cleaning.
TRUE BLUE 16 ** [N]
Takes the corner left of WYSIWYG. Route may be retrobolted - see WYSIWYG description.
WYSIWYG 12 * [N]
Climbs the obvious corner ramp to the left of the large stacked roofs. Permission has been given for this route to be
retrobolted as long as the opening party & route names remain the same.
TIM'S PROJECT 28+ [N,A]
Climbs the steep red wall with anchors.
HOME ALONE 19 [N]
Climb the corner and up a short v-groove to the top. Route may be retrobolted - see WYSIWYG description.
ALICE 21 *** [N]
5m left of THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. Climb the crack for 20m to the top. This is possibly the same route as
PUPPET ON A STRING.
PUPPET ON A STRING 20 **** [N]
About 50-60m along right from the descent gully is a shallow corner. Just left is a fine looking crack. Climb the crack. Route
may be retrobolted - see WYSIWYG description.
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS 20 *** [N]
The shallow corner. Route may be retrobolted - see WYSIWYG description.
UITERS TORS 21 * [N,R]
Trad route between THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS & ENDLESS OCTOBER. Climbs a gnarly thin seam & trends up &
left. Poor gear.
The Theatre
Access as for Left Wings. From the descent gully walk northwards (right) for about 150m to the obvious amphitheatre or rap
in from the top. Shady from midday.
ENDLESS OCTOBER 24 **** [9D,A]
At the left end of The Theatre is a raised ledge/block. Scramble up about 8m further along and walk back to the left hand
edge. Climb out left and up to the chains.
SWEET COUSIN COCAINE 25 *** [10D,A]
From the right of the block climb past a bouldery lower section and a crack to the right of the overlap to a two bolt lower-off.
We need verification if there are indeed top anchors on this route ?
NIGHT OF THE TOAST 23 ** [N,1P]
The obvious crackline on the left of The Theatre, just left of SWEET COUSIN COCAINE.
First Ascent: Stewart Middlemiss 1991
BIKINI RED 27 **** [9D]
Starts 3m right of the obvious crack NIGHT OF THE TOAST.
SHUT UP AND DIE LIKE AN AVIATOR 16 ** [N,R]
Climbs the scoop 5m right of BIKINI RED. Very poorly protected.
First Ascent: Mike Hislop 1992
STAGE FRIGHT 20 [N]
Climbs the arete to the choss above. Possibly has anchors ?
CENTRE STAGE 18 [N]
This is the leftmost route on the right wall of The Theatre. Climbs the corner. Fight your way through the choss at the top
and avoid killing people below. Possibly has some bolts now.
INTO THE NIGHT WE SLIDE 23 ** [N]
Just to the right of the major dihedral in The Theatre, a few metres left of HEART OF CHINA. Sparse gear.
HEART OF CHINA 23 **** [N,1B,A]
Splits the right half of The Theatre. One of the best lines at The Restaurant, if more stainless steel could be added.
GRANT'S PROJECT 28+ **** [8B,A]
The line of 'accidentally' smashed bolts just to the left of HEART OF CHINA'S impressive crack. Face moves with a bouldery
crux.
KINDRED SPIRITS 25 **** [9D]
At the right end of the ledge, climb up a few moves, and right around the corner to under a roof (awkward 2nd clip out left).
From here crank wildly to the top.
