Start 17 meters to the right of Tafelberg Frontal.
1. 25m (3+): Climb the right-hand of two narrow cracks to reach an overhang. Traverse to the right and move up to a ledge. Traverse to the right to a stance above the central crack.
2. 20m (4b): Traverse to the right across an obvious nose, keeping above the lip of the overhang until forced up, after a delicate move, to the ledge above. Traverse 50 meters to the right, to where the ledge more or less peters out.
3. 25m (5a): Ascend a slightly overhanging pitch diagonally up and to the left, followed by a short crack, to a stance. Continue up an awkward layback-type crack followed by a move to the left, then back to the right to a stance on a prominent horizontal rock under an overhang.
4. 35m (5b): Lean out and reach up until it becomes possible to do an awkward layback (fixed piton). Another delicate move up to the left leads to easier rock. Move up to a stance. Traverse to the right and move up a crack to a large ledge on the right.
5. 40m (5b): Ascend an obvious crack above the previous pitch for 30 meters. To avoid the overhanging crack at the top, traverse out to the left across the face, move up and then back to the right to a ledge. Continue up another five meters to a large stance.
6. Traverse seven meters to the left and move up three meters to a block. Traverse another seven meters to the left until it becomes possible to move down easily. Follow the obvious traverse ledge, descending diagonally to the left around a prominent corner. Traverse a further 30 meters to the next pitch, to a point below and to the right of a prominent flake of rock at the top of the wall.
7. 33m (5b): Move up a bulging face until it is possible to traverse about 12 meters to the left. At this point, move up to the ceiling of the overhang and traverse back to the right until a break can be climbed to a stance up and to the left.
8. 20m (3-): Move up and traverse to the left along the ledge until an obvious recessed section with mushroom-like grips is reached,
9. 20m (5b): Ascend this section after an awkward take-off. Follow a line up the recessed face, which enables one to traverse to the left to the summit.
