Me high up on this spectacular line with Steve belaying. Photo taken by Jaqui.

Another shot of me nearing the top of this impressive climb. Photo also by Jaqui.

SoT is a wonderful multipitch route. P1 climbs a friction slab on a smaller dome, crossing over to the larger formation. P2 is a vertical jug haul up a dike. P3 (shown here) the dike kicks back in angle, followed by a final friction slab crux. Awesome route! Emily Boyd climbing.

Paarl Rock as seen from the guard hut where you have to pay an entrance fee. Couldn't help myself with this shot.

My second pic taken of Jaco, third and last climber in our party doing the last pitch of the classic Sands of Time, 5.10a at Paarl Rock in December.Awesome climb!

Jaco busy friction climbing on the last pitch of Sands of Time on Paarl Rock in the Western Cape of South Africa. The route is possibly the best of its kind at that grade in the country. I took the pic.

I'm on the right is completing the first pitch(18), heading for the belay station. The climber on the left is on a top rope on the second pitch(20)
