Hey Guys

If you haven't heard about the BANFF film, come check it out. Anyone with any sense of adventure in them has to see this.

On Tuesday we are going to watch the BANFF Mountain Film Festival at Brooklyn Mall. The show starts at 20:15. Come and have a drink or something at Mugg & Bean at 7pm before the movie.

Clubnights are ending on Wednesday night, but our last event is the LILO RACE on 26 Nov at Bronkies. See the website and facebook for more details.

Assessments

21 September, 2011 - 16:22 — dirk.talma

We are doing assessments in the week before the holidays. Its from 27 to 29 Sept in the afternoon. We'll organise a time that suits everyone, but it'll be in the afternoons.

If you want to use the club's gear without a committee member being present, you have to first do the assessment.

Only after an assessment is passed are you allowed to climb on the Wall outside of club night times. You have to have a valid 2011 membership card to qualify.

You will be required to attend one training session and one assessment session.

Date:

27 September, 2011 - 17:00 - 29 September, 2011 - 21:00

Location:

Climbing Wall

Vertical World Resole Discount for Everest Participants

19 September, 2011 - 22:13 — dirk.talma

Vertical World is kind enough to give some discount on their resole service for all the Everest Challenge participants.

Its R275 for re-sole and re-rand. Normally its R375 for a re-rand.

Otherwise I would suggest glueing some spare bicycle tyre onto your shoes' toe to protect against the concrete. The routes are easy enough. Well, that's what I'll be doing.

We'll probably send a couple of pairs through after Everest Challenge. Check out www.verticalworld.co.za for more info

Beginners Weekend

Hey Guys

--BEGINNERS WEEKEND--

We are leaving on Friday for Eagle Mountain. Anyone is still welcome to join us.

We are meeting at the Wall on Wednesday to discuss how we're getting there.

Its only R80 for two nights' accommodation. Transport works out at around R160 pp if you're 4 in a car. Check out the facebook event if you need transport.

You need to bring a tent as we're camping, your own food and drinks and remember warm clothes. It's nice and warm up here in Pta, but in can get freezing at Harrismith.
