Routes as sport in Spitzkoppe & The Pontoks

pitch 7 to 12 continues up Active Side of Infinity and INXS

An extremely bold climb with potential falls of up to 30meters on very hard pitches. Was bolted ground up and NO BOLTS SHOULD BE ADDED to maintain the hard history of this climb. Only for the brave!

Bolted route right of Blowing up the postbox. Excellent route following a small dyke on the first pitch and plaques on the second. easy friction climbing on the 3rd pitch. Abseil down BUTPB.

3 Bolt slab and bulge. Fun.

3 bolt fun short route with tricky final pull

Steep wall on thin holds. First 2 bolt hangers missing.

Unknown overhanging route on the back of the big boulder

Excellent route with technical slab climbing on tiny edges and smears. New approach pitch - go left around to the arete and climb to the original start past 3 bolts, much better than the original chimney approach. Rebolted in 2022 by Robert Powell.

2 pitch route up a dihedral. Bolted with old aluminium caving bolts! Probably best avoided until re-bolted. The location of the route in the existing guidebook is wrong, it's one dihedral further right.

Project

Furthest right on main wall.

First route on the left. A good introduction to slab climbing.

Easy beginner climb for teaching

A super unique line for the area! Steep route on the overhung wall at the T junction within the fractured corridor.

Pitch 1 - Grade 22/23 for the short. Hard and slightly runout friction slab climbing. Harder than the Rhino Horn. 55m. Pitch 2 - Grade 17, amazing climbing up the dyke. 55m.

Amazing climbing on great rock with perfect positive crimps. Well bolted. Pitch 1 - 21/22 for shorties. Amazing climbing on good crimps and great rock. 50m. Pitch 2 - 16. More excellent climbing at a less steep angle.

Easy slab starting from on top of the boulders to the right of Vittoria's Secret. An excellent moderate pitch as an alternative to the hard 1st pitch of Vittoria's Secret to access the top dyke pitch of Vittoria's Secret.
