"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."

Events

Each year the MCSA organises or hosts a number of national events. These include the Banff Film Festival, Guests Speakers that present lectures around the country, International Meets (for foreigners and local climbers) and National Meets, the Annual Dinner and Annual Memorial Service.

Annual Memorial Service
Since after the Second World War, an Annual Memorial Service had been held at Maclear's Beacon, the highest point on Table Mountain. During the service, the names of members who died during the past year are read. This event takes place at the end of February and is attended by up to 200 people each year (attendance depends on the weather!).
