Climbing here is LIMITED: Climbing Hours: 10:00–17:00, you must be out by 18:00
You can buy permits online through https://www.quicket.co.za/events/4582-rocklands-bouldering-permit/#/
Park to the Pass parking. Take the sandy road, walk it for about 800 meters, take a turn at the cairns to the right. Walk this path for 400 meters, take a path to the left (up to the fortress). Walk uphill along a cairned path for another 500 meters and you'll arrive to the Fortress Boulder.
Approach is 1700-1800 meters in total, and that should equal to 25-35mins.
There are a couple of boulders by the path.
