Kwa Zulu Natal, is known for its mild climate easy access and great climbing and hiking weather all year round, and don’t think there is no variety….
With easy access to SA’s biggest mountains, the Drakensberg, there are great opportunities for hiking in really big mountains, and of course the excitement of climbing massive free standing peaks, not forgetting the ice climbing in winter. And for those who want something a little smaller and less committing, KZN also has some of the best rock in the country at various crags around the province. Be warned though, climbers used to Magaliesberg and Free State rock will generally find Natal rock harder at similar grades.
Monteseel is by far the oldest, and biggest climbing area in KZN, with over 300 documented routes on excellent Natal sandstone / quartzite. It dates back to the early 1940’s when the first routes were climbed and saw the greatest activity in the mid to late 1970’s. This is a Trad only area, although there are a few sport routes in the high grade end of the scale. There are moves afoot to equip some of the unused climbs with top chains so allowing top roping without the need of a Trad rack.
