The G, on the top of the world! Well, on top of Muizenberg crag at least! Great end to a great day out!

What a view!! One of the many reasons to live, love, and climb in Cape Town

After a bit of a struggle on pitch three of Not Just a Pretty Face, Gigi is chilled, and chuffed to be where she is!

Gigi getting ready for the short but steep walk-in to the base of Muizenberg Crag.

Gigi, presenting Table Moutain with Devil's Peak just in front and to the left of TM, and Lion's Head on the right.

Sunset from Milnerton Beach...looking out over Table Bay, with Sea Point on the left and container ship coming in to dock.

Gigi on Milnerton Beach on a very breezy day!

A windy day on Milnerton Beach......with cool sandblown and 'sandblowing' patterns!

Looking south-east-ish from the top of Muizenberg Crag. Muizenberg 'Village' and Muizenberg Beach are seen below, with the Overberg in the distance over False Bay.

Not the clearest shot of Garth on the route, but the pic gives a really good idea of the what the crag, and it's surrounds, look like. Truly beautiful views from an incredible crag!

A nice new little route at the Mine. Starts off with an overhanging sequence, has some good balancy moves in the middle, and ends off with a good roof sequence.

This has to be one of the most idyllic crag settings in the Country. Perfect routes, perfect base, perfect views!

Knut on a lekker little 22/23 at Kleinmond (right hand side of sector c, I think). Lost my crag guide, anyone recognise this one?

Good bouldering skills come in handy for this short, steep, and stupendously burly route.

At the top of Spazmodic Cathy took over photographic duties and snapped one of me hanging off the anchors.

This is a great little climb at Peers Cave (Spazmodic, 17). It is one of the longer routes at the crag and rewards climbers with spectacular sunset views!

A great little climb, and one of the longer routes at Peers Cave. Some balancy moves lead up to a small fun rooflet.

The only comfortable clip on Puppet on a String (22). Nicely placed jug halfway up.

Mark slaps and sticks the lone jug on Puppet on a String (22).

This is the heinous second clip on Puppet on a String. The good news is that you at least have a wide variety of tiny, tendon-tearing, cruddy crimpers to choose from! Urrgh

With Mark attentatively on belay , I discovered the very airy corner halfway up pitch four (12). On that tiny corner, you are surrounded by 90% air, 10% rock! Yeah baby! Pic masterfully snapped by Bells (Chris Bellingham).

This is the view from the end of pitch two. The route actually allows you to gawk and drool at this magnificent sight the entire time. That's the (in)famous Robben Island out there in Table Bay .... Madiba's prison for 27 years before the end of apartheid. Lion's Head (left) and Signal Hill (right) are in the middle distance, with the suburbs of Sea Point on the sea side, and Tamboerskloof on the other side. The cable car in the forground allows one to enjoy a beer at the tourist restaurant on top, and have an easy trip down, after a good day out on the rock! :-)

(Chris) Bells on belay duty, hanging over Africa Ravine. Tafelberg Road can be seen snaking it's way down below.

Pitch three (12) goes up a little, then out left again to an awkward little corner, with about 400m of air under the toes!

Bells (Chris) stems his way up towards the traverse on pitch two. Already at this point the exposure starts making itself rather well known!

Mark at the belay station at the end of pitch two (10). This pitch traverses halfway across the face of the big nose which hangs way above Africa Ravine.

Picture masterfully snapped by Dean van der Merwe. That's me chilling out in the forground, with Lofty on route belayed by one of the gals on the trip. This was my first ice climbing experience, and hopefully far from my last. Believe it or not, there is actually climbable ice in South Africa...... if you're willing to embark on a two day walk-in to find it (one day if you're super fit)

... with Dave belaying Tanya in the background. A short crag, but with some very worthy routes - perfect for an afternoon workout.

This has to be one of the best climbs of it's grade in South Africa!! Ever so slightly overhanging face climbing, with great exposure, and views of note!! Will submit a clearer version once I've scanned the negative

Gary on the 24 at Strubens Valley, SA. I took this hoping that the sun peeping through the crack would create a cool effect, ... seems to be better than I expected, almost framing the shot! Will submit a clearer version once I've scanned the negative.

This is the view of summit that greeted me after the Barranco Wall scramble en route to Barafu Camp.

.... as if my office view wasn't splendid enough! A five minute walk from home brings me to this awe inspiring sight. So glad I moved here! :) Pic kindly given to me by Ashleigh Merris

.... makes me wonder how I get any work done!! I sit and stare all day - there are dozens of trad routes up this beauty Photo kindly given to me by Asheleigh Merris!

This climb shares the first three bolts of the traverse for Acrophobia, and then heads straight up to the chains. Nice 'n exposed! :-) Photo by Tania Brooke

This a fantastic route! A very airy 19 (5.10b) traverse gets you to the route itself. As the route guide (only available from Mt Everest Park) says: Pants filling stuff! Photo by JonoJ

After a jug and pocket fest, the crux thins out to tiny crimpers for a few moves. A really fun 21, which we all onsighted *gloat* *smirk* Photo by Garth

I can't remember the name of this awesome climb. I think it might be called Rocket in your Pocket, but I'll check up on it. Photo by JonoJ

A pumpy (especially at the end of the day) little three bolt wonder, at Alternative Rock crag, Harrismith SA. Phot by JonoJ

Good pocketed sandstone climbing on the Deep Freeze Boulder, at Mt Everest Park, Harrismith SA. A nice onsightable 20

This fun 20 is on the Deep Freeze Boulder at Mt Everest Park, near Harrismith South Africa. Awesome pocketed sandstone climbing!
