Start 5m to the left of the first pitch of 'Headache', where there is a small recess leading up to a smooth face. Ascend easy rock for about 9m to a large ledge below the recess.

The route starts about 20m downstream of 'George' midway between two large trees, of trunk diameters approx. 3/4 to 1m. Ascend easy rock to a rock ledge about 9m.
Variations: 3a. 18m 17 For an independent finish traverse left 6m from the stance at top of Pitch 2. Then ascend into a small alcove, above which is an overhanging V-shaped crack. Traverse out to the right and ascend a steep face (strenuous) to a big ledge where a small block rests. This pitch is midway between pitch 2 above and the crack of 'Easy Option'. 3b. 18m 17 From the top of pitch 2 continue up crack directly above to top. This is a more direct finish than 3a above.

The route is located between 'George' and 'Headache'. Between these climbs prominent overhangs cross the face about 1/3 to 2/3 way up. The first overhang is passed by climbing the same recess used by the first pitch of 'Headache', but 3m to the right. The route avoids the second overhang by traversing across the undercut face between the overhangs and ascending to a prominent nose.
Variations: 2a. 18 Instead of traversing on aid, continue up for 8m, then move right across wall over to the nose. 2b and 3b. 25m 19 Instead of traversing right on Pitch 2, climb directly up the flared crack to the top. FA: R. Davies, P . Scott & M. Urban, 1960 | 42m, 3 | Magaliesberg | ||

The climb is immediately adjacent to 'Trident Chimney'. The entire route follows the face of the rock wall facing upstream due to its right-angled bend. (See location of 'Trident Chimney').

10 | Trident Chimney
Approximately 50m downstream from the start of the main rock face on the right hand side of the kloof the rock wall makes a double right angle bend first into the kloof then back to its normal line parallel with the kloof. At the internal angle of this bend is a deep and prominent chimney with various chockstones caught in it. The route follows the chimney to the top. Climb out on right at top. Note: There is loose rock in the chimney requiring care. FA: T. Bright & H. Wong, 1947 | Magaliesberg | |||

The climb is situated 5m to the left of 'Neptune', just to the left of the large poised block. The climb follows the most feasible line on the large bare face between 'Trident Chimney' and 'Neptune'.
Note: In the opening ascent a sling tied to the vine was the only protection found after a 22m run-out, hence the climb's name. FA: T. O'Connor & Roy Kendall, 1975 | 81m, 3 | Magaliesberg | ||

The climb is situated on the centre of the face between 'Trident Ridge' and 'Trident Chimney'. It starts at a point where the bottom of the face is slightly undercut.
Variations: 1a. 11 There are easier variations on either side of Pitch 1. 2a. 6 The open book of Pitch 2 can be avoided by traversing left at its base onto easy rock which continues to the narrow ledge. 3a. 11 Instead of traversing left onto "exposed buttress" in Pitch 3, continue up recess past the small tree.

7 | Trident Ridge
At the upper reaches of Trident Kloof a steep grassy gully enters the kloof on the right side opposite the entrance of a well-wooded side kloof on the left side. This gully is bounded on the downstream side by a steep rock wall about 40m long terminating in 'Trident Chimney'. Starting at a point near the lower portion of the gully where it reaches the bottom of Trident kloof, the climb goes up the main rock face adjacent to the ridge bounding the gully. The route is not well defined and a fair amount of variation is possible, becoming more difficult downstream. FA: J. Botha & F. Pretorius | Magaliesberg | |||

15m downstream of 'Swiss Army Knife' is a gully. Walk up gully for 10m to the start of rock proper.
Note: Surprisingly good climbing on clean rock. 2 very old pitons were found on pitch 2. FA: Ulrike Kiefer & Chris Ziranek, 2008 | 48m, 2 | Magaliesberg | ||

When descending from the lower crags on the right hand side of the kloof, a steep slab on the left hand side is encountered.
