Looks like rocklands to me. "South Africa Rock"?

If that's indeed what it is, I'm very curious. I've always wondered the extent of the route climbing (or potential thereof) - the highball boulders look amazing so an even longer version of the same climbing would be even better, presumably.

Matt, The Western Cape Rock book that I posted, does include a section of routes--primarily sport climbs, because that is the book's focus, at Rocklands, and, indeed, the route pictured on the cover is one of them. They look very impressive and interesting, but far from the most of either criteria included in that book. I've never been to South Africa, though it is pretty much at the top of my bucket list.

My book didn’t seem to get any traction or interest, it’s a guide to Las Manzanas, a little single pitch sport crag in mexico. 

something easier and imo more classic

Hah! Is the thread's 'must have used it within the last two years' stipulation still in force? [Having been hors de combat since 2020!]

No one has followed this dictum for most of the duration of this thread. Besides, one could argue that consulting is using

Not sure: "must have personally used within the last 2 years when climbing an area". Sounds like that doesn't include sitting at home with a bookcase full of guidebooks!
