Description: Rooiberg, Southern Cederberg. A Climber's Guide

At last we now have a fully comprehensive guidebook for Rooiberg. Over the last few years this area has gained tremendous popularity, due mainly to the sterling efforts of David Mercer and Craig Turvey, who have opened a huge selection of top quality multi-pitch trad routes. Scott Miller, among others, has also made his mark on the crag with an impressive selection of brilliant sport routes. Rooiberg is probably one of the best destinations in the Cederberg for trad and sport at one venue: 22 multi- and single-pitch trad routes, 13 single-pitch sport routes and one four-pitch sport route. The Rooiberg guidebook describes all the routes in detail with top quality topo photos depicting all the lines. It also includes all the normal information one needs, like how to get there, access and best time to go, etc. with a scattering of good climbing pics as well. All in all, a must-have guidebook if you are heading out on a climbing trip to the Cederberg at any time.
