 The Black Eagle Project is one of my favourites and I have often wished I could head out with Megan to see the eagles in the Cederberg. Unfortunately I have no experience in trad climbing, and would not risk someone elses life on an anchor set with my novice skills! This email was passed on to me by a friend — I hope someone can help Megan with her amazing work! [...]  Another stunning camping experience in the Cederberg can be had at Kromrivier.

On my last visit I picked out a 6 meter length of 5mm Beal cordelette to stuff in my daypack. [...]  Jailhouse Rock provides you with some fun climbing on great rock with beautiful views, all at the price of a quick drive to Silvermine and an easy walk-in. The routes are well bolted, and the locals are extremely friendly and helpful. [...]  Some more awesome routes at the Main Crag, Lower Silvermine. [...] |
