Résumé

Great bouldering on crimpy sandstone. Easy to moderate climbing, with a few harder problems here and there. See individual area descriptions for links to topos.

Description

It takes about 20 mins to get to Coppermine boulder field from the parking area.

Limit. de l'accès

Illégal

You are not allowed to climb here according to the authorities that oversee TMNP (Table Mountain National Park). There has been a moratorium on climbing in the area until a suitable EMP (Environmental Management Plan) can be formulated.

But don't get your hopes up, as the EMP has been in the pipeline for the last decade or more. Translation: don't get caught climbing here by the Rangers.

Finally, the area is known to be a hot spot for criminal activity, with muggings at gunpoint occuring with some frequency.

Approche

Park at the start of the Kleinplaas Dam jeep track. Follow this for about 10mins until you see a path breaking off to the left (cairn). Follow the path until you reach the boulders. The main feature of the area is a prominent pinnacle, which can be seen from a distance.

Éthique

Stick to the paths and don't unecessarily trample or damage the fynbos. No chipping holds. Pick up any trash you find and don't leave fingertape or cigarette butts lying around. Brush off tick marks after you have climbed your problem.
