Badkloof

An area running through the kloof, with over 20 crags and 200 routes of great climbing ! Some routes haven been opened by Adam Ondra back in his 2009 Trip to South Africa. The kloof can be accessed through both Montagu Nature Reserve (permit) & Avelon Springs (free). The Kogmanskloof River flows through this kloof making for some lovely swimming spots after a hard day of sending in the heat !
