Kleintuinkop

There are two routes up Kleintuinkop (in addition to a simple walk up from Berties Balcony)

• The most commom is Dassies Kasteel which involves a circular ascending route form the valley leading up to the Ampitheatre.  The path turms off about half way up the valey, goes up towards the main Kleintuinkop face and then traverses back along and under the face past Ystervark Cave. Afetr rounding the corner  it goes up through a break in the face which looks onto Ou Kaapse Weg.  The scrambling up the through the break is Grade 2. 

• An alternative route is a direct line from the approach path going strainght up Kleintuinkop.  It is straight forward with only some Grade 3 srambling near the top. It is a good winter route as it catces the morning sun and dries oyt quickly.  Dassies Kasteel on the other hand is in shade in winte. It is much colder  and the rock can be slippery with that treacherours white lichen.
