I did it. I hooked up with Nico, who has been there before and has some multi pitch climbing experience. We stayed in the Game Breeding Centre / Mokopane (Potgietersrus) Zoological gardens self catering unit, which has a couple of rooms each with two beds. Some share a bathroom, I got the one with en-suite...

Coming up: Wellingtons Dome!!!!!!!!
I just want to say this out loud: I’m going to Wellingtons Dome. That’s it, feels better already. I’ve been wanting to go there for so long, and allowed so many (inconsequential) things to derail plans to go there, that when Neil invited me, I knew this is the one opportunity I can not...
Weekend @ Boven end of May

Enter www.SANCL.org – short for (The) South...

It started of as a simple html page with contact details of the comittee, and by now I’m just short of making available the online capturing of competition scores, and live...
The virgin-solo
I’ve been asked “what’s happening with the blog” enough times to be making my first guilt-post. Here goes…. I’ll start of with a pic of my fairly recent roped-solo ascent of the Tuks climbing wall. It was a fairly big deal for myself, even though the average climber would hike up that route. The trick...
