Climbing The Farm

The weekend of the 23rd of july saw a group of climbers from all over the world (South Africa, Austria, France, Scotland) get together in a small town called Montagu, about 2 hours drive outside of Cape Town. It was the middle of winter and rather chilly, although some people (Hermie) wore shorts the entire time, even during the evenings.

The occasion was the ‘grand’ opening of a new climbing location, simply called ‘The Farm’. Complete with the cutting of a red ribbon. Thanks to Hermie, Andrew, and Andy Green, who spent the previous 2 months preparing and bolting the rock, there were more than 10 routes with various ratings to attempt. Despite a bit of rain sunday morning, it was an absolutely great weekend of climbing, camping and braaing.
