Climbed at Vantage last weekend. It is basalt columns. Unlike Table mountain it seems they only climbs on the columns and pass on the chossy face above. There are areas where it looks like if someone went in top down with a pry bar some good climbing could be unearthed. The routes in this area a fairly well packed in so it is possible to lead one route and TR several others. Manged 2 5.8's, 1 5.9 and 4 5.10's, 10 pitches total. I only lead the 5.8's' and the 5.9'. Everything else was TR'd. Oh, the 10b TR was setup by a 14 year old girl. One of the 5.8's was really good, Twin Cracks on Sunshine Wall, I could do this route many times.

How long are these routes?

Can't tell if you're respectful, resentful or jealous of the "14 year old girl." It seems likely that it's respectful (personally I was a big fan of at least one 14 year old girl until last Saturday - now I'm a big fan of one particular 15 year old girl).
Glad you're getting out.

respectful, not resentful since it made getting the rope up there very easy and not jealous since I am a has been.
The routes vary in length quite a bit. Some are rather short at around 50 feet others are much closer to a full pitch. We had a 70 meter and were able to TR everything. I will go back. It is about 2 hours from the house and does not get as much rain.

Looks like a cool destination Mud.
Why am I suddenly hungry for crinkle cut fries?
