Key

The summer in Alicedale brings heat and humidity, making for uncomfortable climbing conditions. With the added lack of shade the rock becomes warm and sweaty, meaning poor and challenging grip.

The best season for climbing in Alicedale is Autumn-Winter where conditions are dry and cool, thus offering optimal friction and grip. The mornings however can still be chilly and the rock slightly slippery so waiting for the sun to come out is advised.
