Ice and Snow Climbing + Hiking in the Drakensberg

13 March 2024 by Admin

TROPICAL ICE! Ice Climbing destinations in Africa

The southern Drakensberg has several long waterfall ice routes and snow gullies, ranging in grade from WI 2 to WI 6.

Ice forms every year and is usually climbable from mid June till mid August. If wanting to climb a snow gully only, no prior roped climbing experience is necessary. Equipment is available for hire.
