a Guide to Sport Climbing in the Cederberg and surrounds Cederberg Rock is the definitive sport climbing guidebook to the whole of the Cederberg mountain range. It is a comprehensive guide covering all the sport climbing, from Rocklands in the north down to Houdenbek in the south, including some outlying areas, and is the 17th guidebook to come out of the stable of Blue Mountain Publishers, South Africa’s leading producer of climbing guidebooks.
Since the last issue of Western Cape Rock, eight years ago, where Cederberg formed a section of 80 pages, with about 250 sport routes, it became apparent when doing an update, that the Cederberg deserved a book all of its own. This new Cederberg Rock now spans 240 pages and boasts more than 435 sport routes across seven incredible areas. This is testament to how climbing has and is growing in the Cederberg and how important it is as a climbing destination in the country.

Cederberg Rock is packed with many new climbs, crags and whole new areas. It is a book all climbers must have – locals and visitors alike.
