Summary:
Alle traditionelles Klettern

Lat / Long: -32.189653, 19.052161

Übersicht

Krakadouw is an area of the Northern Cedarberg. It is similar to the better known Tafelberg and Wolfberg climbing areas, but has a different, more remote vibe. The walk-in is easier than Tafelberg, but takes about as long. The climbing takes place on amphitheatres on the Southern and Western sides of the Groot Krakadouw peak, as well as some single pitch routes on middle Krakadouw. You'll need a Cape Nature Conservation permit. No bolting allowed, and no fires.

Beschreibung

Drive up the N7 for 215km.

Take the R364, passing through Clanwilliam and over the Pakhuis pass (Rocklands). Turn right after 42km on to a gravel road towards Wuppertal / Biedouw.

Turn right after 26km towards Heuningvlei (signposted), then follow the signs to Heuningvlei.

Just after the final descent and stream crossing, about 1km before Heuningvlei village you will notice a turn-off to the left (not signposted).

Turn left and drive about 300m up the road where you can take a road to the right. About 75m up this road you will see a gate and a Cape Nature Conservation signboard. Park in the cleared area before the gate on the right.

Zustieg

3hr hike.

From the parking lot, follow the road to the Heuningvlei hut (a small stone hut). From the hut, leave the road and cross the marshy stream (heading South) and walk up a steep, clearly defined path to vlakte.

On this vlakte there is an obvious pointy beacon. Here, you must choose whether to follow the path to the summit, or to take the climbers track to the neck between groot and middel Krakadouw.

Summit path (clearly marked): From the beacon on the vlakte just above the hut follow the path along the vlakte. You will pass though a line of cedar trees and the path will take you up a valley towards the summit. From the top of the valley (last reliable water) you can follow a cairned path towards the Southern trig beacon (some scrambling required). Roughly 250m NE of the S summit beacon there is an obvious S facing cave which can sleep several people.

Climbers Path to Nek: From the beacon on the vlakte just above the hut leave the summit path and walk towards and through a clump of dead cedar trees. Walk up a sandy gully and onto another vlakte. Keeping a cedar grove on your right head up the valley towards the nek following the cairns. Camp on the Nek or traverse towards the amphitheatres to a small bivvy cave.

Ethik

No bolting.

Einschränkungen

(Leaving this here as its inherited by child locations - please take the time to take pictures of the boulders you visit and post them under the relavent locations so that we can start populating more topos 🙂).

As of 2014, no climbing is allowed in Rocklands without a valid climbing permit. Land owners often conduct inspections in the climbing areas and anyone found without a permit will be asked to leave the climbing area. Permits can be obtained online - www.quicket.co.za - or purchased at CapeNature's Kliphuis campsite office; De Pakhuys campsite office; or Traveller's Rest farmstall and restaurant.

Accommodation in Rocklands central has always centered around the "Big 3", namely

Over the years, three smaller accommodation businesses have also opened doors, namely

Ethik

  1. Bury your faeces and carry out your toilet paper. If the ground is too hard to bury your faeces, please carry it out with you and dispose of it in the campsite bins. Poop bags are available for free at De Pakhys. (A special note about this: Tea Garden has been closed primarily due to this problem. Animals such as baboons may eat human faeces and could contract diseases such as Tuberculosis and hepatitis, which could prove detrimental to the population)

  2. Do not litter – carry everything you bring in with you back out with you and dispose of your litter in the bins at the campsite.

  3. Stick to the allocated paths marked by cairns and as illustrated in the guidebook. Diverting from these paths causes far more erosion than is necessary and may cause the extinction of certain sensitive plants in the area.

  4. No graffiti on rock surfaces. (Black Shadow boulder has been closed to climbing due to graffiti)

  5. No pof is allowed in Rocklands. The resin damages the rock surfaces and this damage is irreversible.

The complete disrespect of boulderers for the land on which they climb is a very serious and has become a very real threat to bouldering in Rocklands.

Rocklands bouldering is in peril. Rocklands does not belong to the climbers.

Our access is not a right, it’s a privilege and our treatment of the land is the difference between us being allowed to climb in Rocklands and us being banned from climbing in Rocklands altogether.

Irresponsible boulderers have caused this problem and boulderers are the only ones who can fix it.

Please respect the land you climb on in South Africa and adhere to the above mentioned rules. Your privilege to climb in Rocklands depends on it.

Rooiberg is a trad and sport area, with plenty potential for single- and multipitch (up to 120 m high) sport and trad routes. Please take note that although bolting is permitted here, let the owners know that you would like to bolt and fill in the ‘new routes’ book. Also have the courtesy to check that your bolting project is not an existing trad line. Please also try and put top anchors on your single-pitch trad routes to facilitate descents.

Geschichte

The Rooiberg Mountain is on the farm of Nuwerus which is owned by Louise Esterhuizen and Steven Windell. The crags, which are situated about 40 minutes walk from the farmstead, were only developed recently and offer great routes on typical hard Cederberg rock with massive potential for literally hundreds of routes, so grab your drill (or your trad gear) and head on out.

From Cape Town, get onto the N1 towards Paarl, then take the N7 turnoff towards Malmesbury. Stay on this road past Piketberg and over the mountain pass. About 25 minutes past Citrusdal, take the Cedarberg; Algeria turnoff. Follow this dirt road (past Algeria campsite) for another +- 33 Kms until you get to Dwarsrivier farm. (normally about a 45 minute drive).

Übernachtung

The last big town you pass is Citrusdal, this town or the petrol station (100 meters after the turnoff to Citrusdal) is the last place to grab any supplies. Camping at Wolfberg (Sanddrif Campsite) is extremely pleasant, with a big green field for tents. There are fireplaces and hot showers/toilet facilities. Cottages are available, sleep six people and supply the following: Basic cooking utensils, eating crockery/cutlery, fridge with a small freezer, beds (no bedding). The area does get visited a lot so you should definitely book before going out (especially holidays). You need to take your own food for the duration of your trip. As this is a wine farm, excellent wine is available by the bottle or case (this can lead to late starts however!) Stay at Sanddrif Campsite. The owners stay at Dwarsrivier Farm, just up the road. A small selection of food is available and excellent selection of wine can be bought at the reception office. Fire wood is also available. Click here for Sanddrif / Wolfberg Accommodation.

Einschränkungen

A permit is required: www.capenature.co.za

Zustieg

Leave Cape Town via the N7. After Piketberg, you will drive over a mountain pass and head down towards Citrusdal. This is the last stop for provisions. Approximately 30kms after Citrusdal, take the Algeria/Cederberg turnoff on your right hand side (dirt road begins here). After two mountain passes you will see Tafelberg high up on your left. Continue on the dirt road, turning left at Driehoek. Follow this road, keeping left at the fork. Park under oak trees.

The trail to Tafelberg/Spout takes approximately 3hrs with a heavy pack. Follow the trail up Welbedacht Kloof (1hr). At the head of the kloof, turn right and follow the jeep track for a short distance until you see a path heading up to the left. Follow the ever steepening trail through a shale band and onto a higher plateau (1hr from the top of Welbedacht) You will now have a clear view of Tafelberg and Spout. Follow the trail, aiming for the neck between Tafelberg and Spout. Very near the top of the neck, keep a look out for Spout Cave on your right. (1hr from the top of the shale band).

A fairly reliable water drip (built up basin) can be found on the south side of Spout (approximately 20mins from the cave).

Übernachtung

Spout Cave.

Ethik

Tafelberg is a pure trad area. No bolting is allowed at all.

There is an existing bolt and chain at the top of the ascent/descent gulley and (to my knowledge) only one old route (Oscillation) that has an ancient, hand drilled, small bolt. This in no way means that any more bolts may be placed. There are also a few old pitons scattered around but even this is seldom necessary. Modern removable gear allows virtually all climbable parts of Tafelberg to be adequately protected.

There is a very user-friendly abseil descent in the Tafelberg Frontal area about a rope length left () of the top of Central Direct which from the bottom is visible as the very very obvious massive white flake at the top of the crag. Please do not remove the new abseil point.

The abseil consists of 2 safe take-offs of 57m and 60m (std 60m ropes) exactly rappels.

The abseil on top is easy to find if you walk close to the edge you will easily spot it.

The 2nd point is on a ledge that is 57m below. On getting to the ledge walk left about 15m and find a thread and biner.

Alle traditionelles Klettern

Lat / Long: -32.411753, 19.207304

Beschreibung

On the top of Tafelberg, there is a large gulley opening out onto the back (northeast) side of the mountain. The east side of this gulley contains a great crag of impeccable, hard, orange rock. It is a couple of hundred metres long, mostly about 20m - 30m high, and offers some great single pitch climbing of moderate grade. The crag itself faces northwest/ west and thus enjoys morning shade and afternoon sun. The naming theme is based on oxymorons.

Zustieg

It is possible to walk along the top of the mountain and descend the gully directly to the base of the crag but you will have to find the correct gully and scramble a bit. It is probably easier to abseil in from the top of the crag. This also means that you finish off by climbing back out, thus easily retrieving any gear you left for the abseil or for lowering back down from any of the routes.

The easiest way to get to the crag is to head up the ascent/descent gully past the chain. Scramble up 5m higher than the top of the chain and then turn right as if going to the water cistern. Continue along the ledge until it ends about 80m past the water cistern. Set up an abseil somewhere here. There is a nice abseil point 10m past where the ledge ends in the mouth of a small gully (you have to swing around the corner using some large jugs). This abseil is just under 30m long and gets you down onto a nice ledge from where you can walk/scramble to the base of the routes.

1.8.9. Parliamentary Wall 2 routes in Cliff

Summary:
Alle traditionelles Klettern

Lat / Long: -32.409664, 19.204206

Beschreibung

The wall is located on the far northeastern end of Tafelberg, almost directly opposite the Rooibosch Sector. It is approximately 70m high, of typical Tafelberg high-quality rock, and tops out at the top of the mountain. The bottom of the wall is quite undercut and of slightly lower quality. For these reasons, it is probably best to abseil in from the top. There is a convenient ledge about 45m below the top from which to start climbing.

Zustieg

Scramble up the standard ascent/descent gulley past the chain and then walk along the top almost as far as you can go. Head right and down a short little gulley to the top of the wall. Step down onto a good ledge about 1.5m below the level to which you can comfortably walk at the point indicated in the photo (where there is a good foothold and some good incut holds in the rock above). A few metres right is a great abseil anchor point directly above the ledge from which the routes start. Absel down onto the ledge just to the right of a piller of large blocks.

Geschichte

This wall had its first routes put up on the same weekend as the 2015 SONA address fiasco in Parliament. The wall and route names were inspired by this.

Wolfberg offers a range of traditional climbing as well as a few hard sport routes.

The East face of Wolfberg has some of the best routes in the area, with mega classics such as Celestial Journey, Alone in Space, and Wolfgang.

Beschreibung

Whilst a handful of bolted/mixed routes exist on the SE Wall and in Gaper Crack, please note that bolting is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! The area is on private land and the owners do not want any bolts placed in the rock, this includes abseil stations.

As a result, all rapp points are off natural features and should be backed up with new ab tat, as the sun damages and weakens the existing tat. Most of the abseil points have a maillon or biner to help facilitate your descent.

The routes that do have bolts were placed a very long time ago and have never been replaced. Use them at your own discretion.

Einschränkungen

You will have to obtain a permit to climb at Wolfberg, as it is on private land. Ask for more details at the reception for Sanddrif (https://www.sanddrif.com/)
