Hello! I’ll be in South Africa for my honeymoon next week, and I’d love to squeeze in a trip to Rocklands while we’re in Cape Town!

I’m a little confused, though, because I’ve been getting conflicting information about whether or not Rocklands is open during the summer months. Some websites say it’s closed for the summer, while others say it’s still open but that climbing during this time is just not recommended because of the heat. When I check Quicket, it also still gives me the option to purchase a permit for the specific date we’re planning to visit next week.

Of course, I’d ideally visit during the winter months, but since this trip is our honeymoon, bouldering wasn’t exactly the main priority. However, I don’t see myself returning to South Africa anytime soon (or possibly ever), so I’d really love to take advantage of this opportunity to experience Rocklands.…
