Isolation Pinnacle - Grootkloof (Magaliesberg) Jun 2007

Darrell, Liza and I left for a day in Grootkloof early on Saturday morning. Our plan was to climb Isolation Pinnacle upstream from the Main gully descent into Grootkloof. We arrived early, walked in and started climbing around 10am. We started at the base of the second pitch, skipping out on the bottom pitch by walking around the base of the pinnacle and scrambling up the gap between the kloof wall and the pinnacle. I led the single pitch to the top and Darrell followed without incident. Liza stayed at the bottom and took pictures of us climbing. Then we made the jump across the gap onto the kloof wall and abseiled off the small tree as described in the route guide. We had lunch in the bottom of the kloof before walking out and returning home.
