+/-10 Single Pitch Sport Routes, Grades 5 to 6a. 1 Single Pitch Trad Route, Grade 17. 5min walk up to crag. Sandstone

=== Gear ===
Sport Rack. If you want to climb 'Crack of Dawn' you'll need a trad rack. 50m rope


=== The climbing ===
This is a great crag for beginners, with a few challenging routes for others. Crack of Dawn is a splendid crack climb for practicing trad climbing (dont anybody ever bolt it please!!)
A walk up to the top of the crag allows you clip the ring bolts to setup topropes for climbs without any lead bolts (be carefull clipping the top anchors, we recommed a safety line when doing this).

=== Getting there ===
Located above Boyes Drive. Take the M3 from Cape Town. Get onto Boyes Drive. Park on the side of the road (Boyes Drive). A short uphill walk gets you to the crag. The crag can be identified by the pinnacle that stands away from the rock.

=== Notes ===
This crag is best visited in the early morning / late afternoon as it gets direct sun during the midday and can get extremely warm. The crag generally dries out quickly after rain (one or two full days).
