Table Mountain Rock climbing 478 routes in crag

Strictly a trad climbing venue, no bolting is permitted. Mostly multi-pitch climbs. Traditional climbing here has developed using ½ ropes, and therefore all the abseil stations have been set for a 50-60m drop. Thus it is recommended to climb with ½ ropes. If you plan to climb with a single rope, you will either have to fix a line or walk down.

It is common to catch the cablecar up and abseil down to the start of your chosen route (The Ledge/Africa Ledge areas). Otherwise it is a 1hr hike via the India Venster trail, which involves some easy scrambling. The routes on the lower buttresses are also accessible via the first part of this trail, taking approximately 20-30mins to reach from the lower cable station.

Access to Nursery Buttress is via Kirstenbosch Gardens. The Boulders in Newlands Forest are tricky to find unless you have a local guide.

Some lesser known routes on the edge of Orange Kloof.
