Waterval Boven Roc Rally



Time to gear up- the annual rock climbing rally held in Waterval Boven will be happening again from the 24th to 25th of September 2010.

The event has become something of a must on every sport climbers to do list.

Says organizer Gustav Van Rensburg: ‘The year is 2010 and if you stare at the trophy long enough, you may confirm that it resembles a soccer ball from 10 000 BC! The ‘Boven Roc Rally is no longer an event; it is an institution and an annual gathering of like-minded individuals.’

For those not in the know, you will need a climbing partner for the three days, the idea being to climb as many routes as possible in a defined time limit.

Your handicap will determine how many points you score, but actually its all about the vibe, the campfires at night, the party and connection spaces for like minded climbing mad individuals.

Its the best way to spend your long weekend, even if you are just going to support.
