Rock Climbing is fast becoming one of the most popular sports, seeing that it combines the love of nature and adrenaline. People who like to do activities that do not leave a carbon footprint are flocking to areas such as Montagu to get into this exciting sport.

A two hour drive from Cape Town, Montagu is the most developed sport climbing area in the Western Cape (if not the country). 100's of sport routes of all ranges of difficulty. +/-400 Single Pitch & a good few Multi-Pitch Sport Routes.

Montagu offers some of the best climbing in the Western Cape with many crags that vary in grade and steepness with excellent quality rock. Because of Montagu's exceptional weather (with very little rain), when Cape Town has bad weather, Montagu normally has perfect conditions for climbing.

Montagu has become one of the ten climbing "hot spots" worldwide and every year sees an increase in overseas visitors to the beautiful Montagu mountains. The mountains have a unique rock face that excites even the most jaded climber.

Montagu is lucky to have an authority on rock climbing right in our beautiful little town.

Stuart Brown is that man. He is available for tuition, and will let you know where the best climbing spots can be found.
