Ascents in Africa as Red point

Fantastic climb. Great lead.

Nice rest day scramble. Lots of loose rock though, cool position on the summit.

Amazing series of pockets up blunt overhanging arete

Did the crux and succumbed to a reach issue that essentially had a dyno for me on the second attempt. Marvellous climbing, very varied.

Best ever

The plan was to rehearse the moves and do more cleaning on this day, but dark clouds indicated the arrival of the rains, so the final decision was for me to run up the route rope less on that day. On pitch 6, the rain begun to pour and by the time I summited, the sky completely let loose. It was a powerful moment. Bottom to top was about 40 minutes with a few long stops on the route as I had to wait for the drone batteries to be changed and for the drone to locate me on the large wall. All in all, a very significant ascent for me personally and the growing community of Kenyan born climbers.

returning 8 years after being shot down on the onsight. What an amazing line. A testemony for trad routes being bolted and actually being climbed a crapload because of it. #retrobolt #ftw

Trad tried it before - got it first go this time. Cool hero climbing up the flake to finish

Trad AdK classic. Unexpected 1st try of the day. Wasn't quite prepared for the last slabby bit and almost botched it at the end. Not full trad. 2 Bolts at the bottom and 2 bolts at the top.

Tried this some years ago and found it super hard. Went surprisingly easy this time around. Super cool crux seq.

Trad Mixed route. Backed the scary old bolts up with some additional trad gear. Crazy how this route felt insanely hard in the beginning, but so easy on the send. Totally mental!

2nd attemt. Screwed it up right at the end of the onsight attempt.

First trad lead... even though it's got a bolt or 2 LOL. Still a super awesome line. Went back and did it 2 or 3 more times after this.

Great climb. Some of the best moves on Egyptian and some of the best moves I've done at Lukenya.

Current grade (French 6c) seems fair for technical difficulty though believe E3 is a better description for seriousness. Protection is fairly decent on good rock and this combination with the moves feels more in line with other E3's in the country.

Highly recommend this route.

What a route. Engaging moves without the rope.

Great addition to the crag and Lukenya - lovely climbing. Would say E3 5c as after scoping it out I found the gear to be pretty bomber and evenly spaced.

I thought the climbing felt familiar, I've done it before. The last pitch is very run-out. Good for the mind. Nice to take the girls out. Last time Kevin lead the serious pitch.

Trad Finally! Agter os kom ook in die kraal. Fell after the crux 5 times. So much fun though. Really one of the best routes and def most memorable send to date.

Trad Best day I've had on TM yet! So much fun! Thanks Danie (He sent this bad boy last weekend), Cobus and Miki for all your effort belaying and taking some ossem video clips. Falling from the top is almost better than sending

Trad Managed to screw up the 1st redpoint attampt and take the scary fall. Got it on the next go. Might be only 7b. Started on the arête and not on the Squid, as it seemed more logical. Very cool route!

Trad The very best of the jeopardies. Had to put up a monster fight. Very stoked! Next weekend its Danie's turn.

Trad My goal for 2013! Hopefully done with this wall for a while. I've done the Roulette traverse so many times now I can probably do it blindfolded. Will have to come back for Triple Jeopardy some time though, but no traversing in that one
