- romT6503WY0 contributionsAmazing experienceDavid is such a nice guy, amazing teacher and knew exactly how to challenge us but don’t go to far. We had an amazing time with friends.Written 12 August 2024
- sebastiand5200 contributionsGreat climbing experienceMy wife and I had a brilliant two days climbing with Dave. We were beginners and he was able to get us up and running really quickly - so lots of time on the crags and only minimal waiting around! Overall Montagu is a really beautiful location too - all in all a highly recommendable experience!Written 17 April 2024
- Katharine D0 contributionsFantastic Guided Climbing Trip!My partner and I spent half a day climbing with Dave on Boxing Day. Dave is a very able and safe climber and a pleasure to spend the day with. We chatted about all manner of things, including our holiday plans and he made recommendations for the rest of our trip. He picked out great routes suitable for our level and the conditions, resulting in a wonderful morning of climbing. We heartily recommend climbing with Dave!Written 26 December 2023
- Wolfsylke0 contributionsAwesome climbing trip with Dave!David is an excellent guide for climbing. He knew the routes very well, assessed our abilities perfectly and gave us the opportunity to try out routes of varying difficulty.Written 3 November 2023
- eelcoe20220 contributionsAmazing active 2 daysWe had an amazing 2 days with Dave. The first day we went rock climbing, where as absolute beginners he made us feel very safe. After having stayed over in his guesthouse, the 2nd day we did an amazing 40k bike ride through the area. Being experienced cyclists, but beginners on the mountainbike, Dave picked a great route for us, with some nice downhill bits, but not too technical. We had an absolute blast! Thanks again for a great stay!Written 2 October 2023
- Sherpa396701432490 contributionsRecommendedWe had a great experience with Route 62 Mountain Adventures. The mountain bikes were in good condition and the owner David is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!Written 30 August 2023
- T8815GNsophieb0 contributionsHalf day rock climbing tour - professional guide and lots of funDave took us on a half day rock climbing tour which was the best experience we had in South Africa so far. The view from the top and the challenge to get up there were just the perfect dose of adrenaline for us. It was our first time to do rock climbing but with Dave we felt super safe as he is very professional, encouraging, well-organised and provides newish equipment of good quality. The cherry on the cake was his kind and down-to-earth personality and his great sense of humour. All in all 100% recommendable!Written 9 January 2023
- RCBE900 contributionsProfessional and awesome sport climbing sessionI did a half-day sport climbing session with Dave and I can only recommend it. Dave is very good at estimating what routes might be for you. He challenges you, but in a very achievable way. Moreover, he is a very good and professional instructor. He teaches you rope techniques, gives you tips during your climb on what to look out for and is extremely patient when you get stuck. Moreover, you feel at ease the whole time during the chats as a break, but not unimportantly also on the wall, because you know that if you fall, he will catch you safely. Thank you Dave, for the instructive climbing session!Written 9 August 2022
- Colin H0 contributionsClimbing ExtraordinaireMe and my partner when climbing with Dave last year and it was fantastic. He knows the area well and was able to find us a shaded place to climb even though it was very hot outside. The experience was also catered to our climbing ability as he found us the best routes to complete. Dave is accommodating and makes for a very enjoyable experience. We would definitely climb again if we ever end up in the area again.Written 12 February 2020
- annasD9229HM0 contributionsFantastic day of climbingMy boyfriend couldn’t have asked for a better Climbing experience. David, our guide, was very experienced and we always felt we were in safe hands. He chose great routes that suited the differing levels of experience between my boyfriend and I, and is just a lovely guy to spend a morning with! Highly recommend the rock climbing in the area generally, and especially recommend route 62 mountain adventures as a great choice to guide you. Would definitely climb with them again if I’m ever back in the area.Written 4 February 2020

I had a great experience with Dave as a guide, highly recommend! He is a longtime local and very knowledgeable about the climbing in the area. He picked out the best crag for the conditions and my ability level yet was very flexible. If you need accommodation in Montagu I also recommend Rainbow Glen, run by Dave and his wife. It’s within walking distance of the main street in town and has a lovely view and swimming pool.

Thoroughly enjoyed the climb and was so impressed by Dave’s skill when he lead out climb up the Gospel express at the Steeple in Montagu. He was a great guide and an awesome teacher. Very professional and such a genuine guy. Definitely worth their price. All I’m all had an awesome time. Highly recommend

Had a full day of sport climbing in Montagu with our guide Dave. The place is beautiful and offers a great variety of routes, both for beginners and experienced, which Dave helped us to pick out. He teached us how to belay and climb in a safe way, while also pushing us to gain confidence in practice. All in an experienced, friendly and pedagocigal way. Highly recommend going on this climbing tour! :)

had a great experience. Dave the instructor was friendly and put safety first without
minimising the fun. We felt very safe and encouraged to climb routes we would never have considered. He showed us different Belay devices and presented their pros, cons, and history. Highly recommend it and will go again!

Warm, experienced, knowledgable, patient and a maker of a great cup of tea. David is an excellent guide. He took us out for an early morning climb to avoid the summer heat. He selected routes for my friend (her first time climbing) and me (intermediate) that were challenging enough for a good introduction and a reminder of why this is such a fun sport. Safety was his first concern and his equipment was in excellent condition. Ours was a last minute request and David was very happy to squeeze us in and accommodate us. It was the highlight of my holiday. And the hot tea and ginger snap at the end a welcome surprise.

Had a great rock climbing introduction course with David! He explained safety rules, he made me try different devices and presented their prons & cons. David even let me do both top roping and lead climbing which was great! David is professional, puts priority first and is also fun. We will come back & stay in your BnB next time.
Take care

We had a half day sports climbing session with Dave. He brought us to Montagu Legoland, and let us try 4 different routes of ranging difficulties.
It truly is apparent how much Dave cares for safety but without being too heavy or compromising the enjoyment. All the explanations given were very clear, and Dave's patience and advice while you're on the wall really boost your confidence. He pushed me just enough over my limits to expand them without making me feel overwhelmed.
Amazing experience, really left me wanting more.

Dave took my wife and I out for a half day and it was awesome. Really professional, super friendly, and safe. I haven't been climbing for years so was a bit rusty and my wife was a beginner, but Dave managed to get us both feeling challenged and with lots of encouragement we managed to both do some great climbs. Uplifting and enjoyable way to spend some of our trip. Would highly recommend and book direct with Dave/Route 62.
