Slayer goes into the sun from midday and gets shade again in the late afternoon. Overcast days are recommended for climbing here and rainy days will almost certainly ruin the fun. Mid winter climbing in the sun can be quite pleasant.
The climbing is all on slab and very adventurous. Mostly bolts are close together and it is easy to aid through harder sections. Bring a brush as it can accumulate some vegetation and dust. All stances are fully bolted.
The base of the crag is quite flat but may require flattening out some veg. The river can make communication difficult as it can be loud when shouting between climber and belayer. There is a large boulder at the base of the wall that provides shade when the sun comes in.
Please do not relieve yourself near the water-source.
The crag is accessed through the Van Stadens Flower Reserve. Take care to note when the reserve opens and closes as there is a gate and you will be locked in if you are late to leave. There is a summer and winter season, during which the reserve closes earlier.
There is a restroom next to the dirt road on your way to the parking lot. If 'nature calls' at the crag, please do your business away from the river and dig a reasonable size hole.
Access is through the Van Stadens Flower Reserve. Make your way to the Van Stadens Bridge viewing parking lot at the end of the reserve. Here you will see a bench with a path a few metres below it leading into the gorge. At the first fork stay left. At the second fork stay right. Do a small scramble down a boulder and follow the steep trail as it trends down-stream to a forest. Eventually the path comes out at the river where you will cross and stay on the opposite side of the river walking downstream for about 200m. Slayer is the big wall appearing to your left.
