Good news for all those homebodies who enjoy a hassle-free, solo sending session – you can now bring Rocklands to your doorstep with Climb24! This brand-new website has partnered with local land owners and Rocklands community members for this project, which offers the opportunity to purchase one of Rocklands most iconic and beautiful boulders to raise funds for conservation projects.
In addition to donating a significant portion of the profits to local Rocklands conservation efforts, Climb24 hopes that this initiative will help to reduce traffic in certain areas, thus allowing the land a chance to heal from consistent foot traffic and disturbance by climbers.
Included in the price of each boulder is delivery to anywhere in South Africa, and free with every purchase are insane bragging rights and a great conversation starter. Find out more and grab your piece of climbing history at climb24.co.za.
This project is running only for the month of April, so don’t be a fool – get shopping!
But on a true and serious note, Rocklands is a delicate and unique environment and needs you to do your part when you visit:
- ● Do not litter – carry everything you bring in with you back out with you and dispose of your litter in the bins at the campsite.
- ● Stay on the paths. Diverting from these paths causes far more erosion than is necessary and may cause the extinction of certain sensitive plants in the area.
- ● Bury your faeces and carry out your toilet paper. If the ground is too hard to bury your faeces, please carry it out with you and dispose of it in the campsite bins. Poop bags are available for free at De Pakhys.
- ● No graffiti on rock surfaces.
Please respect the land you climb on in South Africa and adhere to the above mentioned rules. Your privilege to climb in Rocklands depends on it.
