Location: Sneeuberg summit and surrounding area (roughly 6km in diameter...) is where a dedicated team look after senior Scouts who hike to the top to partake in:

  • A tough hike to the saddle of Sneeuberg
  • Abseiling down a sheer drop, with awesome views looking South
  • Preparing supper on the sleeping ledge, overlooking Tafelberg
  • Bolder hopping and scrambling to the summit
  • The best sunset views of the Cederberg
  • 360 Degree view of the entire Cederberg
  • Sleeping 30m from the summit
  • more & more.......

Make sure, that when you choose your route in the Cederberg Adventure, that the Mountaineering Base is top of the list...

What is Mountaineering?

What is Mountaineering?Mountaineering is the sport or hobby or profession of walking, hiking and climbing up mountains. It is also sometimes known as alpinism, particularly in Europe. It may be said to consist of two main aspects, rock-craft and snow-craft, depending on whether the route chosen is over rock or over snow and ice. Both require great gymnastic and technical ability, but experience is also very important part of the latter.

There are only three sports - bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games
