Week Night Training & Bouldering
There are some rock superstars, who just pull-it-out-of-the-bag, like a magic rabbit in a freaking hat. But for the rest of us we need to consistently train, train, train. Hard work, pain, fun…part of the package!
There are regular after-work training, boulder & climbing sessions in East London, Port Elizabeth & Grahamstown.
East London
- In summer there are regular late afternoon proper roped climbing trips to NSA or Windmill Hole.
