Season is in full swing and we’re celebrating late winter flowers at eightdayrain with our second Rocklands Retreat.

We’ll take care of the logistics — you just bring your shoes, your stoke, and your love for the mountains.
Let’s climb, flow, and explore together.

"I have looked forward to an event like this for the last 5 years so I’m incredibly stoked to be a part of the organising committee for South Africa’s first all womxn bouldering event.
It is going to be a treat to share the trails and boulders with a group of womxn in the magical lands of the Cederberg."
