After bringing back the Rory for the twentieth anniversary last year, this much loved event returned once more. Uniting climbers from across the country for a packed weekend of rally-style climbing, this event was filled with laughter, and both new and old friends. The 2025 Rory wrapped up this weekend in Harrismith and if you missed the action you can read all about it on GoodBETA.
We cannot wait for the next one!🧗🤩🥳
