Montagu Rock – A guide to Sport and Trad climbing in and around Montagu

Montagu Rock is the definitive climbing guidebook to the whole of the Montagu area. It is a comprehensive guide covering all the sport routes, and the trad climbing as well – the first and only guidebook to describe all the trad routes in detail in and around Montagu.

It is the 16th 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, seven years ago, where Montagu formed a section of 131 pages, with about 400 sport routes, it became apparent when doing an update, that Montagu deserved a book all of its own.

There is no doubt that Montagu is one of the climbing Mecca’s of South Africa and attracts climbers from all over the country and indeed the world to come climb on the multitude of crags, walls and mountains that it is famous for.

This new Montagu Rock now spans over 320 pages and boasts more than 600 sport routes – single- and multi-pitch and over 100 trad climbs, from single pitch routes to 8-pitch adventures on the huge Cogman’s Buttress. This is testament to how climbing has and is growing in Montagu and how important it is as a climbing destination in the country.
Montagu Rock is packed with many new climbs, crags and whole new areas. It is a book all climbers must have – locals and visitors alike.
