Description

Located in the Cederberg mountains near Cape Town, Rocklands is a beautiful semi-arid area in South Africa. Famous for its excellent quality rocks, Rocklands offers a wide variety of bouldering options of all grades. We can go for one day or many, depending upon your preference. The rock is a fine grain sandstone well suited for climbing due to its of medium hardness.

The bouldering area is spread out on a huge area of around 20 km along the road. You can choose from any of the single pitch routes. We can choose to stay at Kliphuis campsite and approach different routes from here.

Rocklands Bouldering areas are many and varied. Campground Boulders is a higher level area which can be accessed by walking. This area overlooks the campsite and looks like a teapot when seen from the south.

Roadside Boulders is a popular spot which includes several bolted routes. The most developed area so far, it can be approached by driving from the campsite for about 3 km followed by a walk for about 20 minutes. Here, you’ll see massive boulders at the base of the hill.

Ceder Rouge Area lies on the left of Roadside boulders. It has a few classic routes like the ‘Black Eagle’ and ‘Leopard Cave’. Located near the top of a hill, it provides excellent options.

Located west of campsite towards Clanwilliam, Champside Boulders is a big steep rock, while the routes on the large boulders of De Pakhuys are called fields of joy owing to the stunning experience they provide.

The Fortress Area can be accessed in the same way as the Roadside area. The bouldering area falls behind the Fortress to the right and offers excellent routes.

Rocklands bouldering is fun and exciting and the options are many. So, don’t wait further. Send us a message to climb these massive giants in Cape Town in South Africa. We also guide this sunset hike to Lion’s Head in Cape Town.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
