SWINBURNE-INCLUDING LONG BOLT TO FREEDOM

20 June 2024 by Admin

IN THE FREESTATE, SOUTH AFRICA

Sport climbing on beautiful sandstone
Sport ( bolted protection)
Multi and single pitch climbs
Overall feel – unbelievably beautiful scenery, great rock and easy access

The big feature route is Long Bolt to Freedom. 8 pitches, crux 17 (USA 5.9 or French 5c) A great route to the top of freestanding tower. First ascended by Gavin the guide. Swinburne is also a lion sanctuary! So you will see big cats safely behind large electrified fenced areas. There are many other routes to climb. Camping or rustic chalets or nearby hotel. Access is easy. Nearest airport – Durban or Johannesburg

You need some prior rock climbing experience, but this area can also be used for total beginners. 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.
