Routes in Namibia for selected grade

Easy buttress starting directly out of the Kloof bed. Trending right, Double ring bolt lower-offs.

Follow the bolts to the summit.

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.

SCARY! 1st pitch has 1 peg and 1 bolt and a run-out of almost 35 meters. Don't fall. Further bolts to be added soon and then the route will be much more enjoyable. Pitch 1 - Climb up the flaky corner crack past a peg to a foot ledge and a bolt. Friction up and then diagonally left to reach a hidden crack to belay on large cams. X rated pitch! Pitch 2 - Follow the wide corner crack (BD5 & 6) to belay on chockstones. Awesome! Pitch 3 - Continue up the crack crossing over to the right and up a crack system. A hard pull over a bulge to belay on a ledge. Pitch 4 - Climb up a groove with good but spaced gear past a steepening and then up the easy slab to belay in a cave. Pitch 5 - Squeeze up and out right of the cave and scramble up easy ground to the belay bolts on Hoab Hanab. Abseil down this route from here.

Great little route. 1st pitch easily protected, 2nd pitch no so much. Long runout on a very wide layback crack at the top. Bolts to be added soon. Topo can be found here: http://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13201215046/Great-Spitzkoppe-Northwest-Face-Mamba-No-5-and-Other-New-Routes

Starts with a boulder move to the rock flake right over the beginning, then friction climbing to thr bulge. Then on a thin and strenous move up and scramble to the top. Rig rappel to avoid friction on the rope.

Work your way through the little overhang and continue up the scramble to the little crack. Use the crack to access the face and up to the anchor

Difficult friction climbing to the first big ledge and gets more difficult the upper section

Friction climbing up to the tricky face move and a lean back to get better grip at the top crack
