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

East facing with morning sun, this crag is about 20m high. Park at the east end of the N4 tunnel, walk back along the old road to
the entrance of the ZAZM tunnel.
TREE LOVE 17 *** [N]
15m left of the tunnel. Climb the tangle of overhanging roots to a stance. Up corner for 2m then right and up the cracks, exit on
slab to right.
TETROGRAD RAT AND THE YEOVILLE DIVA 22 *** [N]

of the prow. Exits up left groove/ chimney.
The Junkyard
The crags opposite The Last Crag of The Century, they are effectively on the outside of the old ZAZM tunnel. To get there, park
on the east side of the new Tunnel. There is usually a 'guard' there who will watch your car. Walk through the old Tunnel (with a
torch), then turn right and walk back along the base for 200m. You can also from the old road take the tourist path on the
outside of the tunnel along the crag. There is potential for several routes here still.
JUST BEFORE BREAKFAST 18 ** [N]
On the furthermost lefthand side of the crag, right by a small gully there is an obvious crack.

COMING OF PRIDE 17 * [N]

BOA RODEO 31 [N]
OUT OF GERMANY 23 ** [4D,N]
The line and the view of the falls are stunning. The climbing doesn't quite match this. You need friends #.5, #2.5 and some
lower-offs.
LITTLE BITCH 24 * [B,N]
Climbs the wall around to the right of OUT OF GERMANY.
NO NAME 13 [N]
1. 11 Climb tree for 5m, step over to face.
2. 13 Move through overlap up from ledge.
Acra Wall
Indeed an absolutely awesome area! Pictures of the wall have appeared in most of the best climbing mags in the world, as well
as on posters and bookcovers. It certainly merits more attention. The wall faces approximately south, so it gets no sun in winter
and a few hours on summer mornings. It is about 30m high but most routes start on a ledge 5m up. Most routes will need
brushing unless they have been recently climbed. The rock quality, length of routes and views make it the most stunning wall at
The Restaurant. Only God No! Wall is as stunning, but that does not have the views. To get there we recommend driving back
towards the main road to Nelspruit (N4) from Boven. Turn right onto this road, towards Nelspruit. Drive a few kilometres until
you pass through a tunnel, park directly on your left as you get through the tunnel. There is usuall a 'guard' here to watch your
car. Walk through the old Zazm tunnel (with a torch) back along the N4. Turn right down a slope to cross the river before it
becomes the waterfall. A big jump may be required here or to avoid this jump walk over the bridge first and then back down the
other side. Walk on past a parking spot & track leading to it. This is the proper parking but local 'shoppers' like cars & their
contents. To get to this parking by car drive towards Boven from the campsite. At the stop street continue down towards the
station, and take a right into First Avenue. Go straight at a nominal stopsign and left at a T-junction just over 1km from the
station. After 600-700m take a left down a rough dirt track across a low level bridge, keeping right at a fork. The track goes
under the N4 bridge on the Elands river bank and ends at a turning circle. To get down to the ACRA wall, rap 25-30m down
from chains in a slot at the top to swing into a ledge 5m above the base. The first 2 routes start at the base (30-35m down). To
exit from the ledge other than by climbing, rap down another 25m to the ground, hike right for 60m and scramble up the steep
rocky gully to the top (WB graffiti wall on right). Packs & gear left on top also make the 'shoppers' happy, (rather clip your packs
on a bolt or two down a climb). The inconvenience of the 'shoppers' is worth it considering the stunning wall of rock.
URISK THE RUSTIC BROWNIE 22+ [11D,A]
The first line to the left of the waterfall when facing downstream. Rap down to anchors and climb back out.
SORCERY 25R **** [N,R]
Awesome line - famous for the photo opportunity with the waterfall in the background. Starting just left of the arete, climb it.
Take care, protection is not abundant!
SATAN'S TEMPLE 29 ***** [14D,A]
Starts just right of the arete at ground level. The route may need brushing unless it has been recently climbed. But this is an
awesome climb in an awesome place.
UNLIMITED POWER 27 ***** [10D,A]
Starts from the chains on the left of the ledge. You need a 60m rope to reach this comfortably from the top chains; with a 50m it
can be reached from the lower set of chains 5m down. Climb steeply up left to the headwall. Continue up a break to chains.
SCREAMING BLUE MESSIAH 26 **** [N]
Trad line - no bolts. From the chains at the left edge of the ledge, head slightly right into the obvious break. Keep going.
SOMETHING ESOTERIC 24 **** [N,3B,A]
The next crack right of SCREAMING BLUE MESSIAH, about 4m right of the first corner. Zap up to chains. It is possible to
access these by scrambling (10-11?) in from the top, but watch it...
JITTERBUG PERFUME 25 *** [N,2B,A]
The corner. The 2 existing bolts are not well placed (this & the last 2 routes will hopefully be retrobolted one day soon). Top out
just right of the crack.
