Descrição

This crag is past the Harry Potter section following the scree path all the way to the top large cave.

The crag is directly below a nest site for a pair of Verreaux Eagles (Black Eagle). During the breeding months from April to September, it may be closed if there is nesting activity. Please check on entry at the signboard by the parking if this crag is open or closed.

This crag is in the shade most of the day with some areas being in the sun late afternoon. This crag is mostly overhanging.

Questões de acesso herdado de Chosspile

Due to past safety issues, as of mid 2011 the following access arrangements were negotiated by the MCSA with Mount Amanzi, which has legal control of the land:

Only recognised climbing club members (MCSA, SANCF, or University) who have an up-to-date membership card, with a photo, are allowed to climb at the Chosspile.

Each card holder is allowed to bring two guests as current status of October 2018.

Members and guests first report to Mount Amanzi’s reception (same side of the road, but across the river from the Chosspile) where they sign an indemnity and pay R30 per card-holder and 50R per guest. Update 2019: You will receive as well the (weekly renewed) gate lock combination. The car guards will be directly at the park site instead of at the gate previously.

Although guards are paid R5 per guest, please feel free to supplement their earnings.

Note: Yearly passes are available.
