Eastern Cape Rock Climbing
The Eastern Cape has plenty of rock & a close friendly community of climbers. Expect a warm welcome & open invitations. There are more than 700 sport routes, about 3000 traditional lines & a few bouldering areas. It’s a fun place with a go-ahead pioneer spirit…this is after all frontier country. New areas are discovered & new routes get opened continuously.
This page is intended as a tool for locals to find climbing spots, for travelers to plan their trips, but above all to know which routes still need to be opened.
Please note that this page is purely a fun motivated excersise. Its not commercial or any kind of a business. There is no organization, no membership, no leaders, no committee, no statements & no comments. Only climbing fun, fun, fun!
Get out there! Climb! Have fun! Not too much!

Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson finally freed the Dawn Wall this week. We didn't report on it, apart from announcing last year that every pitch had been freed individually, and making some snarky armchair comments on the media frenzy.
