Johannesburg

Autumn  (Apr-Jun):

Along with Winter & Spring, our preferred season for general climbing and adventuring based out of Johannesburg. The days start to have longer periods of climbable temps and the thunderstorms begin to thin out, but the environment is still lush and green from the rainy season.

Winter (Jun-Oct):

Along with Winter & Spring, our preferred season for general climbing and adventuring based out of Johannesburg. In many respects there is little difference between Winter and early Spring except the slight increase in temperature. The days are still dry with crisp mornings and evenings and often pleasant conditions in the sun

Spring (Oct - Nov):

Along with Winter & Spring, our preferred season for general climbing and adventuring based out of Johannesburg. Following the dry winter season the grass is shorter / thinner and the start of the rains add a hint of colour - making for easy approach to the crags (and fantastic game viewing) but no great change relevant to Autumn & Winter.

Travel:

Johannesburg is the primary air travel hub serviced by two airports. Within the City itself the public transport system is very good - by South African standards - however, as with everywhere in South Africa, it is very difficult to rely on public transport to get to the crags (and hitchhiking carries its own risks)

Shopping:

Many shopping malls and so forth cater very well to the shopping needs, and Cape Town is the most Vegan / Vegetarian friendly City in South Africa. Climbing gear stores are limited (due to South Africa's small climbing community), but the available range is remarkably wide and comprehensive. Visit our store here.

Climbing Gyms:

Surprisingly for it's size and remoteness to the great outdoors, Johannesburg only has one indoor Climbing Gym City Rock with The Climbing Barn being an option outside of Pretoria.
