Giants Castle is one of the best ice-climbing destinations in South Africa. Two other main areas for ice climbing are Sani Pass and Bokong in northern Lesotho. Each region offers unique climbing experiences. Ice usually begins forming between June and mid-August, and climbers of all levels can use various routes. You can go up with a team of experienced climbers or join a guiding company to receive guidance and instruction for ice climbing in the Drakensberg.
