One of the wilder climbing areas in Waterval Boven. Located on the Orubeni farm just south of Tranquilitas Adventure Farm. It features a deep, unspoiled valley background, beautiful indigenous trees lining the cliff bases, and an absolute lack of cellphone signal—offering a true off-the-grid climbing experience.

Access & Logistics
- If you are staying at the Tranquilitas Campsite, accessing the Mayhem Crags is a breeze—it is a flat, easy 15-minute walk heading south. If you are staying directly at the Mayhem campsite, you are virtually 100 meters from the rock.
- Permits: Because these crags span private land parcels (including Orubeni, MCSA, and Tranquilitas), climbing permits needed and can be easily purchased at the Tranquilitas reception via digital payment apps like SnapScan or Zapper
