A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.
At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

Lat / Long: -33.807186, 20.107257
요약
As you enter Keurkloof you will notice some tall faces high up on the left hand side of the kloof. This is the Shooting Gallery, the only walls in the kloof to receive morning shade.
설명
Host to a few routes, including a mega-long open project requiring a 80m rope. Take a 70m rope for the epic line "Ricochet" (a must do 26 when visiting Montagu). The warm up 22 "Sniper" requires one to do an exposed scramble to get up to the start of the route (in a chimney with a chockstone).
접근 문제들
No access issues
접근
Follow the main path into the kloof. Once out of the black wattle grove, continue on the path until just before it dips into the dry river bed. Look out to the left for a cairn. Weave your way between the bushes and onto the slope that leads up to the Shooting Gallery. If you are lucky you will pass a few more cairns on the way up the steep slope. About a third of the way up slope you will cross a dry riverbed. Continue aiming up the slope towards the gallery. Roughly 30~40mins of hiking.
