Resumen
Cuarcita
Quartzite with marked variations in colour and texture. A friable shale layer lies under the quartzite and is very visible just North East of the crags along the river. Some areas, particularly the NW sector, have a very ‘alpine’ feel with unpleasant falls awaiting the unwary belayer. The very uneven terrain can be disorienting. Please consider using the belay safety bolts (painted black) provided at the start of some climbs.
Descripción
Buttresses facing North, North East and North West. Hot in Summer but shade can be found at various times of day. Warm and sunny in Winter - a great Winter crag. As a general rule the crags on the right of the river (facing downstream) are in shade in the morning while the crags on the left are in shade in the afternoon.

King’s Kloof lies in the Chancliff district of Krugersdorp.
Search for "Rocky Valley Christian Camp" or "Achterbergh Camp & Conference Centre" on Google Maps for directions.
Directions from Krugersdorp: Leave Krugersdorp taking Paardekraal Road NE. Take the exit for Robert Broom Drive and left (uphill) at RBD. Turn first right into Clifford Road and second left into Edward Road. Drive all the way to the brick wall ahead and follow the road next to it which takes you to the Achterbergh gate. Directions from everywhere else: Get to the big 4-way robot at the SW end of the Pretoria Highway (N14 meets M47 (Hendrik Potgeiter) meets R28). Large Sasol garage on corner. Go up the long hill towards Krugersdorp (R28) and take the exit for Robert Broom Drive and left onto RBD. Turn first right into Clifford Road and second left into Edward Road. Drive all the way to the brick wall ahead and follow the road next to it which takes you to the Achterbergh gate.
Once through the gate, drive slowly down the hill until you cross the bridge and parking is immediately on the right as you come over the bridge. Try not to park further down the field than the obvious climbing information sign.
