Tinie Versfeld (yellow shirt) and me, Hilton Davies, sent the new version of Africa Arete on Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa on 12 Sept 2020. The second pitch had lost some crucial creaky flakes and a crucial big flake. The pitch had become harder and more committing. The changes for the second pitch caused us to carry out something we had been considering for years - that was to remove the 'thank the gods' piton on the first pitch. This makes they first pitch harder and more committing and therefore more in line with the second pitch. As Tinie and Dave Birkett opened the route in 1998, this was a valid action resulting in the new 'approved version' of the route.
