Simon Lowe has created an RD for the new routes at the Truckyard at Shongweni Dam.
There is a picture (below) showing where the routes are, this is very important for the new routes I’ve put up, because the higher bolts cannot be seen from the ground and the routes are very bunched together and share certain bolts.
I think with more bolted lines this will be one of the best beginner climbing spots.
The full RD is in the Routes Wiki

And remember, no matter how tempting… DO NOT PUSH THE BOULDER OVER!!
