"When we reach the mountain summits we leave behind all the things that weigh heavily on our body and our spirit. We leave behind all sense of depression; we feel a new freedom, a great exhilaration of the body no less than the spirit."

- Jan Christiaan Smuts

 The Mountain Club of South Africa (MCSA) offers climbing, mountaineering and hiking opportunities to its members and is involved in mountain search and rescue, training, conservation of mountain areas, procurement of access for mountaineering, and competition climbing. (The above links in the horizontal plane can be clicked to get more detailed information on the activities.)

The MCSA was founded in 1891 and is one of only two mountain clubs in Africa which are affiliated to the world mountaineering body, the UIAA.

The Club consists of 13 Sections geographically distributed. Contact the section nearest to you to join in activities. (The links on the horizontal plane below take one to the sections pages.)
