"Rock - it's more than a sport. It becomes a lifestyle. It runs in your blood and mirrors your mind; a kaleidoscope of little chalked-up holds stretching on forever..."
- A. de Klerk, MCSA Journal 1984; 
The Mountain Club of South Africa

Sport Climbing

Sport climbing involves climbing routes which have pre-equipped with fixed protection. This is generally in the form of bolts which have been placed into the rock. The MCSA actively promotes the safe bolting practices and a number of sections have drawn up bolting policies. The MCSA also sponsors sport climbers in the bolting of routes.

Various Bolting Guidelines have been set-up:-
