Rock Climbing

[Veroland]

Were going to waterval boven in december. Cant wait! Who's been there before? Worth it?

Been there many times, where are you guys staying? I heard the camping ground (Elanskraans) is open again. Definitly worth it. Just speak to the people from Rock n Rope in the main street about where it's not safe to climb these days

Not sure where we gonna stay. Its still in the planning phase. Recommend any places?

Closest place to climb at the moment for me is Strubens Valley and isnt it GREAT that there is a squatter camp right next to some of the climbs...lovely. Bigup yourself SA!!!

I'd recommend Tranquilitas, I have not been to Elandskrans after they re-opened yet though so I don't know whats its like there at the moment.

Maybe we should organize a myBB climbing weekend later in the year or early next year?

Sound good but should keep it on the down low. 500 people climbing on one spot...:erm:

Went to Strubens Valley yesterday and cant believe that skipping one weekend...JUST ONE...feels like skipping an entire month of gyming and all physical activities. I could climb all the stuff I used to. Need to step up my game.

What diets/vitamins do you guys recommend? I guess having banannas before climbs and during the day is pretty good. Oh yeah and tons of sunscreen

Well...going to Fernkloof this weekend. Cant freaking wait! Does anyone have a Contact number for me? Need to book accommodation!

The gear is all rated, cheap or not. I trust it.

Do y'all wear those girlie slippers?

Yeah even though mine have laces in them. You are welcome to try and climb bare foot!

Anyone knows fernkloof's accomodation areas actual name? Strugling to find it to make a booking for the weekend.

[Veroland]

Very nice, thanks for the heads up

I heard rock climbers are the biggest stoners ever. Is this true?

 

[El Gato]

Maybe they meant rock spiders

well, some climbers prefer to "fly" down

So we went to Kings Kloof the other weekend. I am Impressed. We only climbed the one area though, as you go up the path. Apart from having a fun climb the area is absolutely beautiful!

Anyone else tried it out?

OH, and we have a trip planned to go to Montagu from the 22nd of April to the 1st of March. Has anyone been there before?

I've been to Legoland in Montagu before, the climbs are very nice and the walk in non existent. It was a few years ago though
