Skeerpoort and Eureka Dome (the name of the extreme western buttress) is a trad climbing area on the escarpment of the Magaliesberg boasting some of the longest climbs in the area including Upthrust (19), which, at 140 meters, is the longest recorded climb in the Magaliesberg. There are many vulture nests on the cliffs especially between Eureka Chimney and Eureka Gully. There are over 40 routes listed for Skeerpoort/ Eureka Dome, ranging between grade 8 and 25. Classic climbs include Aftermath, a 110 meter, 6 pitch, 4 star grade 19 and Long Drop, a 120 meter, 6 pitch, 5 star grade 20. Please note: There's a lack of easy descents from the eastern end of the Skeerpoort faces.
Descent from the Eastern Buttress is via Eureka Gully.
접근 문제들
사유의
The area is on private property; liaise with the MCSA regarding access.
Some of the main Skeerpoort cliffs are off limits to avoid any possible disturbance of the vulture colony. Further, climbers are asked to avoid climbing at Eureka Dome from April to October since Black Eagles are known to nest in the area. However, as this is a South facing crag, it gets very cold in winter which means it’s best to climb there in the summer anyway.

숙박 장소
No accommodation or camping, it is a day crag.
윤리문제
No fire allowed as per “No Fires in Magaliesberg Policy”. 9 climbs (including the longest Magaliesberg climb, Upthrust) cannot be climbed at all due to vultures nesting on the cliffs.
