Start beneath the huge brown corners to the left of Tafelberg Frontal.
1. 12m (5b): Climb a recess, which leads to the large ledge strewn with blocks.
2. 30m (5c): Move over to the right to where the dark orange rock becomes more speckled. Climb two short walls, then a brown recess leading to an overhang with a smaller overhang under it formed by a long thick wafer. reaching boldly over this for the top edge, a galloping hand traverse left leads to easier rock. Pull up to a small cramped stance.
3. 20m (6a+): Wedge up the cleft above the stance and step right and up onto the smaller of the two slabs which lead out right, below the last curving smooth big overhang blocking the huge fault. Move delicately to the right, then grab the handrail and power along it until it widens and one can pull up to the stance on the corner.
4. 15m (5b): Climb a short wall up to a dassie ledge under the overhangs and traverse left into the huge recess.
5. 40m (5b): Climb the brown recess to the top roof. Move out right and continue up to the big ledge.
Note: The original route climbed faces to the right of the big corner also at about grade 5b.
6. 30m (5a): Finish up Mamacos's variation to the final pitch of Tafelberg Frontal, or climb the Frontal pitch at grade 4b.
Note: The original line climbed some thin faces way off to the left, but this is a tad contrived. Finishing direct is much better.
