Frixion Adventures - Kloofing, abseiling and cliff jumping trips at Smalblaar Canyon, Du Toits Kloof near Cape Town.
Smalblaar Kloofing Trips - Full Day
This trip has 4-6 waterfall abseils depending on the water levels. The abseils range from 9m to 50m in height with the option of jumping 10m high cliffs.
Guests are geared up in wetsuits (depending on temperature), harnesses, helmets and all the necessary safety gear for the day. This full day of adventure starts early at 0730 and we aim to finish around 1600 or sometimes later depending on the water level or how many guests are on the trip. The canyon is pristine as we are the only people who use it. The water is odourless, colourless and tasteless. The reason for this is that the source of the river is about 700m from where we start.
The total distance covered in descending the gorge and then a short walk back to the transport is not more than 2km. The Gorge itself drops off about 350m in altitude over a distance of around 900m in distance, thus making it very steep.
The canyon is open from Mid October through to late March and we also run night trips for the advanced canyoners who have already done this trip with us.
