Adventures
Our team will kit you up, train you up and get you on the rocks – all from our central location in the heart of the South African Rock Climbing Mecca.
Any time spent in the wilds of African vistas can only do good things for the mind and soul. If you combine that with exhilarating vertical fun, there can surely be nothing better?
The Restaurant
The cliffs surrounding Waterval Boven, also known as The Restaurant (at the End of the Universe) crags, have proven over the past few decades to be one of the premier Rock Climbing destinations in South Africa and in the world. (Rated top 10 spot by many of the best climbers from all over the globe.)
Most of the good climbing can be done around the difficulty rating of 17 – 27 (French 5b – 7b+ or US 5.8 – 5.12c), with options to climb up to grade 34 (8c/5.14b).
Visit our shop
In the town of Waterval Boven, we sell and rent climbing/abseiling equipment as well as topos, guide books and maps for your convenience.
Apart from our climbing shop and rental service, you can choose from half day climbing sessions, introductory weekend workshops and abseils right next to the mighty 70m Elands falls as well as other adventurous excursions. There are over 1000 different routes to choose from and new routes are still regularly opened by us and various other climbers.
