Old Legends. New Heights.
The Legacy Lives On!
More than a competition — The Rory is a tribute.
Born in memory of Rory Lowther, a climber known not only for his bold ascents, but for his heart, courage, and the way he inspired everyone around him. What started as a grassroots gathering quickly became one of the most beloved climbing events in South Africa — a celebration of community, strength, and the thrill of pushing beyond your limits!
For 10 incredible years, The Rory brought together climbers from all walks of life. From seasoned crushers to first-timers, it wasn’t just about podiums — it was about passion, perseverance, and the people beside you on the wall.
Now, 11 years later, the wall calls once more.
🔸 A new venue!
🔸 Freshly set routes!
🔸 A vibrant new vibe — with all the heart of the original!
But the spirit? That’s unchanged. We climb to honor the past, to rise in the present, and to pass the torch to those still finding their way up.
Whether you knew Rory or are just hearing his name for the first time — this is your chance to be part of something bigger.
A legacy built on chalky hands, bruised knuckles, big cheers, and even bigger hearts.
This isn’t just another comp, this is a celebration, a return— a chance to rise!
Save the date. Bring your crew. Step into the story.
Let’s climb — for Rory, for each other, and for the love of the sport.
