Lakeside Pinnacle

Western Cape, ZA

A popular beginner and rehab crag, with some very nice, shortish routes, especially Slab ’n Tickle and Undercling. After a short period of abuse (about 10 years ago), when some low-life thought it was fun to go and trash most of the anchors and first bolts of the routes, the crag was refurbished to its original state (thanks to the efforts of Charles Howell and Dave Hart). More routes were put up then, and also more recently by Tony Lourens. It has now become a very popular crag. Note: The Toad on the Road pub is a great place to end a day’s climbing. If a big sporting event is being screened, the pub can become quite vibey and probably not the best place to enjoy your beer if you’re not supporting SA. The tables outside are very pleasant as well.
