Waterval Boven Guide - December 2011.pdf - Climb ZA

Rules of the crag
1. Do not drop any litter, however small, including cigarette butts, finger
tape and tissue paper! Take all this rubbish home with you. If you find
rubbish, please pick it up, you are helping us all.
2. If you must take a crap at the crag, go at least 30 metres down-hill and away
from the cliff in the bushes and make sure you dig a hole and cover it with dirt
and leaves afterwards. Never do your business in a cave or corner. Do not
leave toilet paper lying around; it must be buried or carry it out.
3. If you take a pee, do not do it close to the cliff, make sure it‟s in a place that
is not sheltered from rain, otherwise it stinks.
4. Small tick dots are fine but tick marks over 3 cm are an eyesore and are
unnecessary except for the hardest to see hand or footholds. Brush them off
afterwards! Please brush chalk-caked holds after you have finished with a
route, especially if it‟s a route that is sheltered from rain.
5. A well behaved dog at the crag is fine but poorly trained dogs are a
nuisance and are not welcome, they sniff at food, walk over ropes, get in the
way and chase animals.
6. Respect others; try not to be too loud and think carefully about smoking,
bringing your dogs or crying children to the crags; these things can spoil the
pleasure for others.
7. „IP‟ written on the rock in chalk or a piece of tape/plastic on the first bolt
means the route is „In Progress‟ and the route is a closed project. Do not try
theses climbs unless you have permission from the „‟owner‟‟.
8. Do not remove other peoples draws from a route even if they have been
hanging there for weeks. Some locals like to leave projects clipped-up. You
may of course climb the routes using the draws left up.
9. If a section of rock is marked with an X, written in chalk, don‟t touch those
features as the X indicates that the rock is loose. Don‟t try knock it off.
