The main sector/cliff. Great setting and steep pumpy & powerful sport climbing.
Crag open year round, no permits required. Routes severely affected by the SE (i.e. don't climb here if the SE is blowing hard).
From Cape Town CBD head on the M3 towards Muizenberg. On the way to Muizenberg, find Boyes Drive and follow this for a few kilometers. After the Old Boyes Drive turnoff on your left, you will reach the crest of a hill and dip down the other side. There is a fixed speed camera painted yellow at the bottom of the hill. Park after this, on the uphill under a row of trees on the left hand side of the road. On your right is a stone retaining wall with a doorway (no door). This is the start of the Pecks Valley hiking trail.
Enter the doorway and follow some concrete steps for the first few meters. Continue up the trail steeply for about 5 minutes until you get to a T-junction, by some old ruins. Turn right and follow the contour path, which starts to curve up into the valley. You will see the Hole high up on the hill on your right hand side. Continue following the main path for another 5 minutes or so, UNTIL YOU SEE A CAIRN on a rock. This marks the turnoff to the Hole (don't veer off the main path until you see the cairn!!) Follow the ever steepening path for 10 to 15 mins to reach the crag. The path takes you directly to the Sideline crag first, but it is only a few steps away from the Hole, the main crag.
Approximately 20 to 30 minutes of hiking from where you park your car.
No camping at the crag
