Sommario

World Class Sport Climbing on possibly the only developed limestone crag in South Africa.

Descrizione

Steep routes in the limestone caves and edges of the Cango Caves area. Interesting features including awesome stalactites. Routes are up to 35m long

This is the area close to the obvious caves east of the campsite. They are best climbed early morning or late afternoon as they can get very hot.

Avvicinamento

From Cape Town take the N1 to Worcester, then turn off onto the R60 towards Robertson. Drive through Robertson and Ashton to Montagu. From Montagu, take the R62 and pass through Barrydale, Ladismith, Calitzdorp and Oudtshoorn. 5 hours.

From Oudtshoorn, follow the signs towards the Cango Caves. About 30 km from Oudtshoorn (and 1 km before the Cango Caves), turn left onto the Prince Albert road. Drive for 5km to the De Hoek turnoff (on the right). De Hoek is about 1 km down the road.

Dove stare

The De Hoek Campsite.

There are no access issues and no need to pay for access to De Hoek Mountain Resort. Park under the tree to the left of the De Hoek gate. Walk back along the road for about 100m until you reach the pylon on the right side of the road where a clear path will take you up to the main crag.

Access from De Hoek Mountain Resort. I think a day pass (if you are not staying there) costs around R25.

Walk past the swimming pool away from the campsite, follow a path that leads through a fence and over a weir. After the weir head rightward to the open field and across it. Head towards the white scree below the cave, there will be a path through the bush. Scramble up the scree slope and to the cave.
