Champagne Castle, Mountain summit in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Champagne Castle is a mountain summit in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg range in KwaZulu-Natal that reaches 3,377 meters. The climbing routes wind through narrow valleys and across rocky terrain, where climbers encounter steep slopes and scattered boulders.

Champagne Castle was first climbed in the early 20th century by Reverend A.H. Stocker and his brother F.R. Stocker, who also made the first ascent of Sterkhorn. Its name comes from mountaineers David Gray and Major Grantham, whose celebration champagne bottle shattered on a rock after their climb. Cathkin Peak honours the Lanarkshire home of settler Stephan Snyman, named after Glasgow's Cathkin Braes.

Cathkin Peak takes its name from Cathkin Braes, a hill near Glasgow: the Lanarkshire immigrant Stephan Snyman named his home after it. Hotels and resorts around the mountain carry the names Champagne Castle, Monk's Cowl and Cathkin Peak, a common practice in the Drakensberg.

The trek begins at Monks Cowl Forestry Station and runs through the valley to Blind Man's Corner. From there it continues over Grey's Pass to reach the summit, though weather can shift rapidly at any point.

The first ascent was made in the early 20th century by Reverend A.H. Stocker and his brother F.R. Stocker, who also made the first ascent of Sterkhorn. The peak's name comes from a bottle of champagne dropped on a rock by a guide as David Gray and Major Grantham prepared to celebrate their climb.
