Karbonaatjieskraal is a wonderful and unique climbing area tucked away in the rolling hills of the Karoo, near the foothills of the eastern side of the Hexriver Mountains. Tucked away, because it very literally is. The huge majestic walls can not be seeing ordinarily from anywhere untill you are practically upon them. Besides the Main Amphitheatre, which is nigh on 100 metres tall, there are many other walls and crags of varying height and steepness. For shorter routes, the Princess Di Wall offers some really good routes of mild to mid range grades, as do the routes in Gaper Kloof. Karbonaatjieskraal: A Climber’s Guide offers detailed approach routes with rappelled anchors and route descriptions, and high quality topos.
