Info Pack
On Saturday, 11 October 2025, we open the gates to New World Crag.
A place of towering walls, hidden caves, big whippers, and even bigger bragging rights. And how better to celebrate than with a flash comp, ridiculous team names, funny dress-up, prizes, and maybe even a treasure hunt for the kids? That evening prizegiving, braai and social. However, not everything in life is a competition so Sunday, 12 October 2025 will just be a fun day of climbing open to all (and those coming in just for that day).
