Legal Note: All climbing is very dangerous & always at your own risk. Nobody is forcing you to climb. You choose to climb, so choose to go home before the risks become too high. Remember even small injuries can take 6 weeks to heal. No responsibility for inaccurate or incomplete information will be accepted by the scribe or any other body. The landowners accept no liability at all. Climbers take full responsibility for themselves at all times. Fixed protection will become unreliable, loose rock is common, solid rock becomes loose. The RD is only a guide & is no substitute for experience, training, common sense & a touch of caution. So, you are on your own…take care!
• Please respect the Bushman / Khoekoen paintings. Please don’t touch, scratch, damage, wet or climb over any of the paintings. These paintings are irreplaceable heritage. Damage to the painting is illegal, carries a >R10 000 fine & hopefully time in jail. Damage to these painting will result in closure of the venue to climbing.
• Fires must not be made at the Main Wall as these will damage the paintings & we do not want to encourage non-climbing picnickers to start braai-ing here. Think bottles, glass & trash.
• Think twice before you bolt. No more squeezing lines in. Stop yourself!
