ALICE IN GRANNYLAND 24 *** [16D] Some pleasant face climbing leads to a high<br />
crux that if solved correctly is rather easy for the grade. This route is fairly long at 35<br />
odd meters. FA: Greg Watkins 1998<br />
The Disciple Wall<br />
Keep walking along the base of the crag from the God No Wall and around a corner you<br />
will arrive at a very appealing east facing vertical wall which is home to some lovely<br />
sustained easy climbs. Some of the best easy climbs in <strong>Boven</strong>. Shade from 11 onwards.<br />
<strong>Climb</strong>s are described from left to right. The starts of the climbs (first 2-4 bolts) are<br />
somewhat interchangeable.<br />
BITTERGAL 22 *** [14D] Starts to the left of the tree. A tricky looking first few<br />
metres on is on dolerite (an igneous rock), changing to quartzite after the 3 rd bolt. FA:<br />
Greg Borman Feb 2009<br />
THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS (also known as Brolloks) 19 ***** [14D] Since being<br />
bolted this route has become very popular and must be a contender for one of the best<br />
easy climbs in <strong>Boven</strong>. After the 3 rd bolt, move left then up and up; sustained. A 60 m<br />
rope is needed. FA (on trad): Stewart Middlemiss & I Schwartz 1998. (BB Greg<br />
Borman)<br />
GOODWILL VAN DIE ZOELOES (also known as Groenie Die Drakie) 21 **** [13D]<br />
Just right of Brolloks, great, bit cruxier than Brollocks. <strong>Climb</strong> up to the ledge then move<br />
left after 4 th bolt, and up bolts up to your left. Can also use the Brollocks start. FA: (on<br />
trad), by Ian Manson & G Shepston 1992. (BB Ken Thrash 1999). MCSA bolts.<br />
SAREL SEEMONSTER 18 *** [12D] Just right of Groenie die Drakie. Again, climb 4<br />
bolts then move left and up. Cruxy. FA: Ken Thrash June 2009. MCSA bolts.<br />
LUCY 17 *** [12D] The right most line. Clip first 3-4 bolts of Sarel Seemonster then<br />
move right and up, finishing below the big bushy tree. FA: A Margetts and E Margetts<br />
and Daryl Margetts 2010. MCSA bolts.<br />
The Little Red Wall<br />
This wall is dark red in colour and can be seen through the trees about 50 m up and right<br />
of the Disciple Wall. Some pretty cool climbs here and it‟s only 2 minutes from the God<br />
No! Wall.<br />
HEIGHT: 15 - 20 Metres<br />
