Summary
Sandstone
Very nice multi-pitch tradding in a big amphitheatre with a large amount of potential for new routes.
Description
The climbing is on good sandstone, although it can be loose in certain places (bottom left hand corner in particular (take your brain bucket along for amphitheatre routes). There are only 2 sport routes (a short 24 and a 26) and more than 50 trad routes of good quality and the scenery around you is quite tranquil.
Access issues
Private
The climbing is located on Karoo 1's property. Recently access has been re-negotiated with the Karoo 1 hotel. To climb one has to stay at the Karoo 1 hotel although further negotiations are in process.
