There has been some confusion surrounding access for climbing within the
Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). Many people have been unclear about
the permit requirements (including myself). I have just spoken with Park
management, and this then is the bottom line:

If you want to sport climb in the Park, you need a 'permit' to do so.
This is in the form of a Wild Card. There are several levels you can
buy. What I would recommend is a Wild Card with a 'level 2', which
pertains to sport climbing. This will allow you access at any of the
entry points in the park, and allow you to sport climb at any of the
crags for a year. This can be obtained at any main entry gate in the
Park. Note that this is not merely a permit to gain entry, but is
required for you to sport climb, no matter how you got to the crag.

At this stage, a permit is not required for bouldering. However, it is
likely that this will change, as bouldering has a fairly high
environmental impact.

Note that no permit is required to trad climb anywhere in the TMNP, a
situation with which we are very happy, and one that is not likely to
change.

If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact me.
