Roc Rally 2011

This is an annual rock climbing endurance event that involves a team of two, climbing one hard route on the first day, then racing between the cliff faces around Waterval Boven and doing as many climbs as you can in 8 hours on the second day.

Its only R250 pp for a student/MCSA member. R300 otherwise. It includes your T-shirt, 2 suppers and breakfast rolls on Saturday.

Check out www.climb.co.za and click on the banner at the top to enter your team.

Our objective is to bring the pros and beginners together to socialise, compete and have fun together.  As in a golf match, every climber gets given a handicap based upon his or her climbing performance over the last year and other personal best performances.

Basically to do well in this competition, you will have to climb hard on the first day (Friday) and then do plenty routes (against your handicap) on the second day (Saturday). A logical and fair but complicated system will be explained before the start of the competition. Special terms will be given to climbers who miss out on redpoint Friday.

Big bonus points will be given if you arrive at Tranquilitas on your bicycle (see: www.moving-planet.org/invitation)!
