KEEN FOR A JOL?
Smiles on dials is the mission at FA and the best way to do that is to get the crew together for a skitz event.
Be you a professional Plastic-Puller, gnarly Trad Dad or stoked on the sky Highlighner, we’ve got you covered.
FA has a solidly packed calendar for events both at our gym and various outdoors venues to keep you psyched through the roof.
OUTSIDE EVENTS
Sure, pulling on plastic is lekker – and we’ve done everything in our power to make the best possible gym for training, socialising and having fun.
That being said, there’s nothing quite as lekker as a crisp outdoor mission. South Africa is a beautiful country with some rad climbing and we want to get out there and get some dirt on those boots.
Mayhem Mountain Festival
Every year over the Easter Weekend we make our holy highline pilgrimage to Boven for the Mayhem Mountain Festival.
It’s simple really, a long weekend of climbing, highlining and the best bush doef this side of the Orange River.
INSIDE EVENTS
Hours upon hours of love, sweat and bolts have gone into creating the most lekker gym we could conceive of. We want to see our venue packed with the community, stoked on the climbs! No matter your preferred flavour of indoor adventure we’ve got you covered.
FAF Series
Training is hard – we hear you. It’s so much easier to go to the gym week after week, working those callouses when you have something to look forward to. Enter the FA Fables – this year-long friendly comp has six entries all building up Tjoms in Arms – our biggest indoor comp of the year.
Each Fable is spaced six weeks apart to give you the perfect training block and a chance to test out your progress at the end of it. 30 Boulders up for a week of unlimited sessioning. Grab your shoes, chalk and start sending tjom.
Tjoms in Arms
What’s more fun than climbing? Climbing with a tjom obviously! Tjoms in Arms is FA’s biggest indoor climbing comp of the year and it’s all centered around community. TIA is simple, you grab a tjommie, get climbing and your combined score can get you a spot in the finals.
TIA is a day of insane boulders, lekker games; crazy finals and a lekker party to finish it off. Check out the Beta Spray to see what you’ve missed in past years, then grab a tjom and get training for this year!
Melt Down
The FA crew takes its Spray Wall pretty seriously – it’s quite lekker. Once a year we reset it to keep you plastic pullers interested and fit AF! To commemorate the Meltdown of the spray we host the baddest, filthiest comp we can manage. The toughest climbers we can find battle it out on the walls in a unique comp format – the audience handles the scoring instead of judges.
If they feel a climber had one more go in them, the cheers decide their fate. Get training or get your pompoms ready for the Meltdown.
Bolts & Holds
Setters are strange creatures. Barefoot, chalk covered cretins. Some say they live under the mats, but who can be sure? The magic on the FA walls is made possible by the talented and psyched crew of setters we have stashed in hold-storage. What better way to show them the love they deserve than making them fight to the death? Just kidding.
Bolts & Holds is a comp which allows our setters to showcase the best, most diabolical routes they can dream up. Everyone gets a shot to climb them and vote who the very best Master Driller is.
We Move Up
Sometimes the amount of testosterone in the air can make it hard to breath, be it at the crag or gym, we know it can get a bit much. As badass as our female climbers are, it’s nice to have a more feminine space in which to engage with the sport.
We Move Up is the FA event for women in the community who are badass in a myriad of ways and also want a soft space to nurture the divine feminine.
Regional Comps
Climbing is growing as a sport globally and at FA we want to be a part of taking SA climbing to an international level.
Regularly hosted regional comps help expose our climbers to world-class setting, imported holds an international quality wall.
