Fellow Dirtbags, Beta-sprayers, and Whippernauts!

Fellow Dirtbags, Beta-sprayers, and Whippernauts!

We're so excited to have you all join for what's shaping up to be an epic Montagu Climbing weekend in October.

‼️ Please Note: Accommodation, food and transport must be organised by yourselves. We will just be hosting the various events/activities (and the vibes)! 🍻

Please make sure to book your accommodation now already before things fill out too much 🏕️. The rally point for the away-from-crag events (Tony's talk, social and braai, quiz night 😉) will be at De Bos Backpackers & Camping so we recommend booking there to be at the heart of it all - but fear not, as Montagu has many other camping and cottage options for those keen to look elsewhere.

Join the WhatsApp group via the QR code, or follow the link in bio. We'll use this group to keep you all updated on the latest plans, whereabouts, and excitement to be had. Hope you're all ready to whip! 🧗🏻‍♂️

Let's cover this town in chalk!

On a crisp Saturday morning, our group embarked on

On a crisp Saturday morning, our group embarked on a multifaceted expedition up Pieke in the breathtaking Jonkershoek Valley. Our primary mission was to enhance safety by installing a new signpost at the top of Vensterkloof. This measure was taken in response to the frequent rescues initiated for hikers who, upon their first ascent of Pieke via Langrivier Kloof and subsequent descent through Nerina Kloof, mistakenly veer into Vensterkloof, often finding themselves in precarious situations as dusk falls.

In tandem with our safety efforts, we also tackled the invasive hakia that blankets the slopes above Nerina. A dedicated team of five members made significant headway, methodically clearing the vegetation from the top down. Meanwhile, a spirited group of newcomers to Jonkershoek, guided by Jess, triumphantly reached Pieke's summit for their inaugural time. Concurrently, three of our members erected the much-needed sign in Vensterkloof.

The day's endeavors converged in Vensterkloof, where part of our group embarked on an exciting descent via abseil down the Vensterkloof, while the rest retraced their steps down Nerina, opting for an abseil exit over the traditional walkout. Notably, this was a maiden abseiling experience for several members, who navigated three descents, the longest stretching a nice 25 meters, albeit with minimal exposure.

Blessed with a day of radiant sunshine and tranquil skies, we commenced our journey in the cool predawn hours out of the kloof's jungle and concluded under the cloak of nightfall, just after sunset. The day was unanimously cherished, particularly by those who, for the first time, witnessed the valley's majestic allure—a reminder of nature's enduring splendor.

This last weekend we spent 2 exciting days in Du Toitskloof, staying at one of the @mcsacapetown legendary huts, and trad climbing the Hellfire Crag 🧗🏻

📸: @wadeb.photos & @genna.witha.g

A beginner trad ("traditional") climbing workshop was provided with the help of a few experienced club members, to a crowd of 25 people across both days. Trad climbing is the practice of rock climbing without pre-placed bolts and anchors, and instead placing protective gear such as cams, nuts, slings and hexes yourself. It requires a lot of trust and experience, and is an instrumental climbing form to facilitate mountaineering in more exposed environments. We continue to try our best to train up the next generation of mountaineers, and provide them with the necessary skills and gear management techniques to allow them to do this exceptional sport for a long time. Safety and preparation is paramount in the mountain club, and we love to do our part in preparing our fellow members and guests for safer, and more enjoyable, expeditioning. ✅

Thank you to everyone who joined and made this weekend such a memorable experience! 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻 If you are interested in joining some of our upcoming events or spying out a climbing day or two, with incredible people, take a look at our website (follow the link in our bio), and we will see you in the mountains! ⛰️

Could you see yourself trad climbing? 🧗🏻
