Approach

Drive out of town, turn right on the N4 to Nelspruit and through the tunnel. 3.5km after the tunnel on your left is a parking area [ GPS: S25 38 44.2 E30 22 26.5] in front of the Aloes Backpackers and Restaurant. Kevin and Tracy manage this spot and will look after your car if you buy some fresh or smoked trout and a drink from them afterwards. Cross the N4 and walk straight up the hill.

History

This North facing crag could be quite warm. The route 'Allo Aloe' will enjoy morning shade in its right facing corner. There is still loads of potential for sport or trad lines.
