As a Frenchi you might just melt;) South Africa has way better places to climb during this part of the year. Don't be the typical foreigner. Look past Rock Lands and see Utopia:)
good luck

Lots of climbing in and around Cape Town.

Good luck. There is also some really classy bouldering in Cape Town, very overhanging climbing in montagu and well featured tufa climbing in oudshoorn:)
Best of luck

I wouldn't want to drive all that way to sweat my way up limestone tufa in Oudtshoorn, especially if where I lived was inundated with fantastic limestone sport climbing.
