Groot Tafelberg | Richmond / De Aar

Groot Tafelberg is a country trad climbing area 36km from Richmond on the road to De Aar. The rock is vertical dolorite 40 to 120m high with a walk-in of about 45 minutes.

Access

Access arrangement are at this stage unknown. These days there is a huge game fence around the whole of Groot Tafelberg. There do not appear to be any welcome entry gates & no signs saying who owns it. Looks like a very private game reserve.

If anyone has any information or has climbed there since 1991, please make contact with info@easterncaperockclimbing.co.za .
