Description

Immediately to the East of the Gross Spitzkoppe 1728m, the highest rock wall and mountain in the range, the 4 Pontoks starting with Pontokspitze (1) on the West and Pontok 4 on the Far East. Characterized by vast swaths of granite slab climbing, a mere couple of boldly led routes exist on each Pontok.

Getting There

Immediately after passing through Spitzkoppe village and the gates of the Natural Reserve, the view will be filled by the rock slabs of the Pontok Domes.
