New Route in Kloof Gorge, South Africa

Warwick Hastie spotted this line at the The Gutter, in Kloof Gorge in January 2015.

Hastie said, “After rappelling down the route and checking it out, it seemed it would go so I placed some anchors and worked it at the end of January and beginning of February. It ended up being harder than I thought, about 5.11d, but I bolted it anyway and completed the opening ascent on Feb. 15.”
