The Paarl / Wellington Section is blessed with access to the upper Kromriver area in the Du Toits Kloof mountains via the Kromriver Hut(built circa 1953). The area is surrounded by magnificent peaks and amazing valleys. Across the river from the hut along the slopes of the Kromriver Dome is a bouldering field with about 8 (A-G) identified sectors with mostly no route descriptions, or first ascents noted. The purpose of this meet is to introduce members of the various clubs to each other as well as attempting to climb as much of these boulders as possible.
