Beta

SA's largest sport climbing venue hosting over 950 routes in a concentrated area. Hard quartzitic orange sandstone towers over lush indigenous forested valleys with tons of wildlife. There is a large variety of climbing from slab to roof and everything in between, with grades ranging from 4 to 8c. Most routes are technical face climbing requiring solid footwork and steely fingers. Crag bases are great and walk-ins are a breeze.
