Montagu
Small town in the Western Cape, well known for its natural Hot Water Springs
Steeples Crag
Steeples Crag is on the banks of the Kingna River that runs through Cogman’s Kloof, Montagu. The crag gets full sun from early morning, and is best avoided in the heat of the day as there is no shade. My favorite route on this crag is Gospel Express, a 5 star route graded at 17.

Badkloof
This is a short and easy walk through Badkloof in Montagu. If you start from the Montagu end, you will need to register and pay your R10 at Die Ou Meul. Its probably best to start at Avalon Springs in any case — that way you can reward yourself with a soak in the hot baths when you return!

Legoland in Montagu re-opened
A while ago I reported the closure of Legoland and the routes in the kloof behind Legoland (Bosch Crag and Ramset Crag). On my last visit to Montagu, I learned that Legoland was open again, but not the rest of the crags. Your best bet would be to check with the owners of De Bos when arriving in town.

Cogman’s Buttress
This has been my biggest climb to-date: a 7 pitch route up Cogmans Buttress in Montagu. An epic outing that pushed me to the limits of my fear of heights!
