3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Author would like to thank the following climbers: Morne van der Mescht Jessica Jeffries Martin Renz Dricus Bezuidenhout Marisa Steyn The best climber in the world is the one having the most fun -Alex Lowe You guys completely personify this quote and your enthusiasm to explore and develop this area has led to the creation of an awesome bouldering area in a unique setting. This guide is only a start, there is still huge potential left for this area. Many thanks for the dedication, input and sharp eyes for some great problems. I m extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know and climb with you all. Keep the spirit alive. Complaints Department Niel Mostert Dec 2006 To the best of the author s knowledge, none of the problems featured in this guide have been formerly climbed,named and graded. Please direct any complaints to the given Contact Persons (inside cover page). THE HISTORY For many years there have been bits of information floating around amongst the Eastern Cape climbers about bouldering some of them had done at Cape St Francis whilst on holiday there with family, driving around, etc. It seems though, that no-one had ever gone and done proper exploring and developing. There were also rumours of early bouldering there back in the 80 s, but again no-one could supply any concrete information. A rainy day in Port Elizabeth in September 2006 saw myself, Dricus, Morne, Jessica and Martin drive there to go and have a look. What started out as a rainy rest day quickly turned into an awesome day s bouldering, with all the current problems in The Cove area opened in a day. This of course was all the motivation needed and the Seaside area and Treasure Chest area were developed in the following months. Facing the ocean, the lighthouse on the left and the Treasure Chest area on the right now form the borders of the current developed bouldering area. This is not because there is nothing else to climb, it s simply because it s human nature to get lazy. More exploring will no doubt reveal some excellent problems. The town s history I know little of, unfortunately. I m sure, however that exploring this beautiful little seaside village on your rest days will be well worth it. Accommodation There is a caravan park in Cape St. Francis as well as several guest houses in the area. You can also find a place to stay in Humansdorp or Jeffreys Bay. 4 5
4 IMPORTANT STUFF ROAD MAP 1. NO LITTERING!!! ANYWHERE!!! EVER!!! 2. The climbing areas all form part of the Seal Point Nature Reserve. This reserve is open to the public with no entrance/ exit control and there are no access issues yet. Please don t compromise access and keep your impact minimal, eg clean off chalk and tickmarks when you re finished and DO NOT LITTER. 3. Parking is generally safe, but as a precaution rather don t leave your valuables in the car. 4. Have good sunscreen and a hat in summer, there is very little shade. 5. Mind the tide! Some of the areas are on rocks right next to the water s edge. Don t let your stuff get washed away when you re not looking. 6. The rock in some areas may on the odd occasion be schlauky depending on the wind direction and whether the rock is facing the ocean or not. Just shop around until you find some good dry rock. 7. Be creative and open some new problems. 8. Please notify the contact persons (inside cover page) when any of the projects or new problems are opened so that the guide can be updated. KEY TO USING THIS GUIDE 1. All problems marked SS are sit-start, otherwise start from a standing position. 2. The markers in this guide are only for general guidance. The aim is to show where you start, more or less which direction you head and where you end. Use your common sense to find the right (and best) holds. SS = Sit start TO = Top Out There are several roads leading into Humansdorp from the N2. Please consult a national roadmap for better guidance. Coming into Humansdorp from Jeffreys Bay s side, turn left at the culture museum and go down the main street. Turn left again at the T-junction in front of the caravan park and keep going straight (ie. no turn-offs) all the way into Cape St Francis. Once there refer to map above to locate the climbing parking areas. 6 7
5 THE COVE From the car park area follow the path to the left for a short distance. Look for the footpath leading off to the right past a bench and rubbish bin. Follow this footpath past some big rocks coming up on the left and scramble up onto the flattop rock band on the right. The Cove is now on your right. Find a place to scramble down to the Cove.

14 But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails. William Arthur Ward
