Looking down (North) tonquani from the upper camp site.

This crag is a narrow gorge with a stream running at the base of the routes and creates a cool setting in which to climb. Part of a collection of pic's taken that day.Pic: Xander

Anro working the 25. Nice colour of the leaves against the rock. The photographer took some cool pic's that day.Pic: Xander

Anro checking his next move on this cool route at Fernkloof. Part of a series. Pic: jcshaggy

The photographer Xander was about 20 meters above us when he caught this moment. Simple pic but I like it.

A different perspective of me working on a 5.12a-True Sailing is Dead. Pic: Xander

I could just reach the anchors to clip in. At this stage my forearms were pumped.The route is steep so a lot of body tension is required.Great route. Pic: Xander

True Sailing is Dead, 5.12a is a seriously deceptive route. It's a lot tougher than it looks. Pic taken by Xander on our recent trip to Fernkloof.

Anro near the anchors of this pumpy 5.11c that is a must do for any visitor climbing this grade. Pic: jcshaggy.

Xander climbing through the open book onto the face of this pumpy but awesome route. Pic: jcshaggy.

We climbed Strong Arm of the Law, 5,11c, at Fernkloof. This is the easiest grade at the crag and the route was really pumpy and steep. Pic by jcshaggy.

I'm trying to get that hold for the following clip on this excellent and pumpy route. Pic by Xander.

This fun route proved to be very difficult with a match on a sloper on a steep route.Looked easier from the ground!!!Pic: Xander

A friend of mine took a picture of me climbing "The Looking Glass". Climb is rated 25.

This is the huge chockstone that wedges itself in the centre of Grootkloof. It inspired the following amongst members of Exploratio..."Why do you have 150ft of abseil cord?...It's for the pro around the Chockstone...!!"

You've seen It from top and this is what it looks like down below. Good looking little gorge to visit don't you think...?

This is the sort of view you can expect after finishing a hard climb in the gorge. I do not mean the faces of your seconds, but you can always try and spot a good line on the opposing face while waiting for them...

Dieter was the main competition for the role in MI2 but for some reason it went to Tom...?

These are my friends Francois(left), Adél(centre) and Dieter(right) at the campsite preparing for the days climbing!

Getting back to the start of your next climb can be just as much fun as getting up it, both for you and the rest of your party, laughing along and taking photographs of your prehistoric nature...(this is my friend Dieter and I)

This is one of the easier routes in the gorge. It has wonderful exposure and good pro with a great view at the top.
