Gold Rush All Bouldering 63 routes in crag

To get there from Johannesburg or Pretoria: the best is to first drive to Lydenburg via Dullstroom or via Machadodorp, the latter being a better road but includes being stung by a nasty toll gate. From Lydenburg avoid going up to Sabie unless you are inclined to want the windy scenic adventure of Long Tom Pass. Instead turn left, pick your way through town and right onto the road to Ohrigstad. About 36 km outside Lydenburg turn right again onto the R533, and tootle up to Pilgrims Rest. Continue through Pilgrims Rest and wind your way up to Grasskop. At this point it may be appropriate (if you are not car sick) to take a possible pancake diversion.

There is another alternative route which is quicker but more complicated and prone to one getting lost. Continue down the N4 past Boven or via Schoemanskloof (R539) to a point where one turns left at the road to Sudwala Caves. This is 5km on the Nelspruit side of where the N4 and the Schoemanskloof (R539) join. After 7 km turn right to Sabie and after a further 15 km you will get a T junction at a Railway Station, this time turn left to Sabie. After another 19 km down this road you will get another T junction, turn right and continue for a for about 10Km into Sabie. Pass through Sabie on to Grasskop.

Once the pleasures of Grasskop have been negotiated continue out of town on the road to Gods Window (R532) From the bridge outside Grasskop travel 19 km to London Country House, 22 km to get to the gate on the map on the previous page, and 26.5 km to get to the gate at Erasmushoop for camping.
