The Boneyard

During 1994 the Boneyard, long one of Natal's best sport crags, has seen an injection of new routes and retrobolting. Many of the mixed gear lines have been supplemented with additional bolts and anchors have been placed at the top of most of the routes.

  1. Mowgli Meets the Virgin Vampire (23) [8B C]
  2. Voodoo Guru (26/7) [7B C]
  3. The Grim Reaper (23) [10B C]
  4. The Vulture's Feast (21) [8B C]
  5. In Retrospect (18) [7B C]
  6. Myopic Buzzard (20) [8B C]
  7. Roadkill (20) [7B C]
  8. Separate Tables (25) [C 4B C]
  9. Total Anarchy (19/20) [9B C]

  1. Mowgli Meets the Virgin Vampire (23) [8B C] Climbs the line of U-Bolts left of Voodoo Guru. Excellent climbing up varied ground.
    First ascent: C. Curson, 1994

  2. Voodoo Guru (26/7) [7B C] - retrobolted and now has a separate start.

  3. The Grim Reaper (23) [10B C] - retrobolted.

  4. The Vulture's Feast (21) [8B C] - retrobolted.

  5. In Retrospect (18) [7B C] A fun line to the right of Vulture's Feast with an abundance of holds which vary from nicely incut to horribly rounded.
    First ascent: C. Curson, 1994

  6. Myopic Buzzard (20) [8B C] The extension of In Retrospect. Reachy move up to the second set of anchors.
    First ascent: C. Curson, 1994

  7. Roadkill (20) [7B C] To the right of Myopic Buzzard is another line of U-bolts which provides similar climbing to its neighbours. This line is unfortunately very dirty, but is worthwhile despite the sand.
    First ascent: C. Curson, 1994

  8. Separate Tables (25) [C 4B C] The route below the rap station starting from a double U-Bolt belay.
    First ascent: C. Curson, 1994

  9. Total Anarchy (19/20) [9B C] Starts right of Flintstone's Kid, breaking left and up.
    First ascent: C. Curson, 1994
