SPOUT F3 (17)

SANDSTONE CLIMBING AT GARDEN CASTLE, SOUTHERN DRAKENSBERG, SOUTH AFRICA
3 pitches
Trad (natural protection)
Grade F3
Climbing – All year round
Over all feel – non committing, fun climbing to a tiny summit

A pinnacle on Garden Castle mountain ending on a narrow rock summit followed by an airy abseil.

The approach hike is 2.5 hours. You must be able to belay properly with double ropes and abseil without a safety rope. Some prior rock climbing experience is essential. Peak High has a policy that clients will belay the guide only with auto-locking or assisted breaking type devices. (e.g. GriGri or ATC Pilot) We provide these if clients do not already have them.
