Nodes in Hellfire

There are about 160 trad routes and 45 sport routes at Hellfire. Most trad routes are one or two pitches and 40-50m in height, although there are also some four-pitch test pieces. Sport routes vary in height from 15-45m. The rock is generally excellent quality hard sandstone. Some trad routes have the odd loose block so be aware of what you are pulling on and wear a helmet. All grades are present from short grade 8 beginner climbs to a grade 30+ open sport projects of 40m in length. Although any grade of climber will be happy climbing here the real meat of the crag is in the intermediate grades 18-23.

The crag is in the sun for most of the day and can get very hot. Winter is the best time to climb here.

When driving from Cape Town on the N1, pass through the Huguenot Tunnel (toll is about R50) or drive over the old Du Toits Kloof Pass. After the tunnel, pass the turn-off to Du Kloof Lodge on your left. The crag should be visible on your right. Continue past the crag keep an eye out for the Klip Rivier sign (pass over a small bridge). Shortly after the bridge keep in the right-hand lane and make a u-turn on the right (-33.722227, 19.182227). Drive back towards the tunnel. After three sections of wall on your left, there is a big road sign followed by a grassy area on the side of the road to park (-33.723839, 19.173719). Walk about 100 meters back and keep an eye out for a cairn at the start of the trail. The trail goes up towards the pylon, follow the cairns.

There is a comprehensive guidebook available from climbing stores in Cape Town or direct from the publisher. To order direct from the publisher e-mail ross@highadventure.co.za The price is R185 excluding postage.

Tall recessed Wall to the left of the prow.

Access the Lucifer Ledge. Start on the left-hand side of the Burnout Wall. Climb the corner passing a bush to the roof. Exit left to access the face and go directly up overhanging terrain and up to a bottomed (small ledge 0.5X 0.5m) left-facing corner at the very top. Veering left drops the grade and the quality of the route dramatically.

I strongly recommend breaking this route in 2 pitches. The crux is a 23 traverse that is very far away from the anchor which leaves the second in a terrifying situation of rope pulling you in the wrong direction while performing the crux. Amazing route though. Traverses, cracks, roofs and vertical technical climb on the same route! Lots of fun! The crux is protected by bolts.

Start up the left crack/seam

Start up the 2nd last crack/seam. Below and slightly right of the diving board.

Step thru the tree and onto the ledge that houses the corner crack. You might want to rope up for this. Step out left onto the Arête and climb up to the roof. Clip the bolt and move right onto the Arête, CLimb up to the top. A ring bolt awaits.

Step thru the tree and onto the ledge that houses the corner crack. You might want to rope up for this. Climb the corner to the roof. Rail left for 3 m, pull into the bushy crack and up to finish. There is a belay bolt at the top.

Abseil/ Rap station.

Step thru the tree and onto the ledge that houses the corner crack. You might want to rope up for this. Climb the corner to the roof. Clip the bolt and pull thru onto the face. Follow the thinner right-hand crack to finish just right of the block. The top is technical and on small gear, your belayer can't see you. There is a belay bolt at the top.
