Twenty years of Tranquilitas, celebrated the best way we know how: climbing, camping, hidden ’biners, Kruger Millions and plenty of potjie. As the sun went down, live jazz filled the Tranquilitas viewpoint, with God No Wall setting the scene in the background. From first-timers to 15-year ballies, everyone came together around the same crags and the same braai. 🧗♀️🎷🔥

The 2026 @gauteng_climbing Lead and Speed Provincials delivered an action-packed weekend, from Speed on Friday to Lead finals on Sunday. A huge thank you to the cityrock_jhb & cityrock_pta_irene setting teams for pulling off a last-minute venue change, and a big up to Gauteng climbing for continuing to build such a supportive competition environment 💪
