Description

Badskloof is referred to as "Bad Kloof" in the guide book.

Bottom entrance (permit required): (-33.781345, 20.114627)

Avelon Springs (top) entrance (no permit required): (-33.765587, 20.116951)

Access issues

The kloof can be entered from either side. You will need to buy a permit if you enter from the bottom of the kloof. Alternatively, if you enter from Avelon Springs, you can just tell security at the gate that you are a climber and enter for free.

Ethic inherited from Montagu

To avoid any further Altercations with land owners and incorrect equipment being used, the Montagu Mountain Committee (who are responsible for the Montagu Reserve) have asked for applications to be submitted before a new route is bolted.
