This area is named after Fred and Harry Struben who were gold prospectors in the 1880’s, and mined in this area before gold was discovered on the reef. This crag is one of the Witwatersrand’s finest assets as far as sport climbing is concerned. Principally, there are 2 areas, the upper and lower bands on the right hand side of the road. The crags forming the upper band are overhanging at the base, but ease off towards the top. The routes are strenuous, often following cracks and corners, many of these can be led as climbs. These are the largest and highest crags in the area, and range from 15m to 20m above the large cave. Many of the routes in the upper band can be, and are led as traditional climbs. |
