Route List
| # | ROUTE NAME / AREA | GRADE | # BOLTS | RATING | BOLTING/OPENED INFO | DESCRIPTION |
| 1. | Access Route | (15) | 6D | * | FA: Clive Curson (1994) | This line gives access to the start of the next two routes.
Follow a line up the middle of the slabs to a ledge at the base of the main pillar. The first bolt is quite high and not easy to spot. The climbing gets trickier as you get higher. |
| 2. | Black Hole | (21) | 9D | *** | FA: Gustav Janse van Rensburg (1994) | Start from the ledge and climb up to a slabby section. Pull up through a bulge into the start of a bottomless corner and then continue straight up to the top. Reachy in places. |
| 3. | Starwors | (16) | 9D | ** | FA: Gustav Janse van Rensburg (1994) | From the top of the 'Access Route', move a couple of metres along the ledge to the right. Follow the right-tending line of bolts to the arête and move up to an unnecessary pair of anchors. Continue up past two more bolts to the top anchors. |
