Cable Way Crags, near Hartebeesport dam, easy to moderate climbs within 45 minutes of Joburg and Pretoria! Pierre Carter and friends have put up about 15 climbs graded between 10 and 23. The crags are accessed from the top cable-car station, or by walking up from the bottom of the hill.
Access has been carefully arranged so please stick to the rules in the guide and be sure to to sign the register book kept at the Cableway ticket office at the bottom of the hill. Enjoy the climbing and please provide feedback via the forum.
The rock is fairly shattered / and lose in places but will improve with traffic. Wear helmets and be careful!
All bolts were kindly supplied by the MCSA Johannesburg and Magaliesberg Sections. If you are climbing on them, you should really become a member in support of their continuing efforts to develop and protect our crags.
