Weeks before I left for Africa, I posted on forums, joined SA climbing groups on Facebook and even emailed the owner of the Cape Town climbing gym, Robert Breyer. All in an effort to find climbing partners so I would be ready with options when I arrived. I received many responses..but when it came to actually going out, people were working, busy, unresponsive… Robert did respond right away to say that the gym doesn’t offer tours, but gave me some contacts. It was 3 days into my trip and I was pretty bummed out about having not climbed yet. My coming days were getting booked up with plans, the forecast for the weekend was RAIN RAIN RAIN and my window of opportunity was rapidly closing…but then..! I got a glorious, legendary message, that would stop the world from spinning, ceasing the advancement of time and grasp my destiny by the lower mid pelvic area and say..this way my friend… I saw Roberts name in my inbox.. “Matt, my wife Trish and I are heading to Montagu climbing for the weekend..would you be interested in joining us?” So the story goes…

Cogmanskloof Montagu
Realizing I’m wrong is not convincing
Cogmans kloof is a gap in the Langeberg range - a fault exploited by the heavy-handed violence of water (such as the 1981 flood). This makes the familiar shape of an intricate arch appear out of place.
Its proximity to the old English fort must have subconsciously tide it all together – the arch was a secondary built, or maybe a failed first construction during the second Boer war.
However, if the Cogmans kloof arch was in the Cedar mountains I would have walked past. It would have blended with the famous arch and rocks of the Wolfberg plateau.
