"BLYDEPOORT / BLYDE RIVER CANYON
There are over 80 traditional climbs varying in length from 1-5 pitches.
The grade range is 14-24, with most routes in the 17-20 bracket.
The large number of good quality climbs makes Blydepoort an ideal venue for aspiring trad climbers to practice gear placement in a magnificent setting. Climbing at Blydepoort is divided into 2 areas:
The Blyde Canyon Forever Resort Complex has 6 crags just outside the camping site,
while the Rondawel Lookout Complex (currently out of bounds), a short drive away, has 5 crags.
Blydepoort’s quartzite rock is of excellent quality and the climbing conditions are generally good all year round,
though Summers can be hot and rainy, and Winter nights can get very cold."
