 '''Baboon Buttress'''
-Diablo 26 *** (7D) Climb the bouldery face 5 meters right of afterthought. Intense start with a interesting finish. FA: Evan Margetts, July 2011
+HYPOPNEA 25 *** [6D,A] Weird but a cool outing! From the ledge at the chains of Dreamers (23), un-clip the chains and keep clipping diagonally left, breathing slowly..go way left..then up to the chains. If you do this and Dreamers as one pitch, you need a 70m rope and tie knots in the ends and extended draws! FA: Gustav Janse van Rensburg 2013

-Blood Diamond 28 *** (5D)Situated to the right of psych ward . Pre clip the first bolt by standing on the boulder however do not use this boulder during your ascent. Start with your hands on the two good holds at the bottom and power your way to the top. FA: David Wade and Evan Margetts BB: Darryl Margetts. 29th April 2012

 Scramble up left past the start of Rodan, to a narrow ledge. Start on the left of the ledge, just left of the stacked blocks. Straight up a short face, though the overlap and up to below the roof. Rail left to the break in the roof, pull up to the next rail, and then move back right until you can pull up onto the grey ramp. Move slightly left and up the narrow, brown corner, stepping right at the top. Finish up the face between the aloes to the top.  FA: Richard Halsey and Tim Dunnett, May 2012.
-*MUTATION 33 ***** (17D,A) Climbs Beast until 2/3rds height. From the letterbox 'rest' do the big move as for Beast but continue straight up and claw your way through the cracks with your core roaring at you and your feet desperately searching for anything to stand on. An instant classic at the God No Wall. One of the best lines in Boven.

 ARE YOU CHICKEN ENOUGH?	25 *** [Trad, A]
 Climbs the thin crack between THE HARDER YOU PUSH and MOONDANCE, to a set of chains half way up the wall.  Opened on trad.  Chicken bolts will be added soon.  FA: Andrew Porter, April 2012
 Spicy Habanero Salsa 24 *** (5D) Start on the right of Banging Bridget Jones.  Start on the flat hand holds right of the thin vertical seam/crack.  Traverse left into seam and climb up (hard) moving left into crack.  Head rightwards into undercling under roof, through roof and finish up the final crack to the chains of BBJ.  Possibly easier if you are tall.

 Start with your hands on the lowest holds and feet on the lowest boulders, no cheating. Fight your way to the chains using pure determination as your guide. Enjoy the intricate footwork and desperate stabbing for holds. Ensure that you clip the first draw from the ground to avoid injury. Consensus makes it 31.

A short easy face leads into Boven's answer to Rocklands roof bouldering. Get creative and enjoy something unique to Boven. A massive thanks goes to my Big Bro - Dewald Kloppers - for bolting the line and letting me try it with him. FA: Marc Flex Efune, December 2012, BB Dewald Kloppers
