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 Highliner, 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.
We Move Up: Waterval Boven
Three days of outdoor bouldering at one of South Africa's most iconic crags — a weekend by women, for women in the FA community. Rocks, fires, soft spaces, and the kind of psyche that only Boven delivers.
22–24 May 2026. Whether you're sending your first outdoor V0 or chasing a long-time project, this is the FA crew showing up to climb hard and look after each other.

FAF Series
Training is hard – we hear you. This year-long friendly comp has six entries all building up to Tjoms in Arms. Each Fable is spaced six weeks apart to give you the perfect training block. 30 Boulders up for a week of unlimited sessioning.
Melt Down
The FA crew takes its Spray Wall pretty seriously. Once a year we reset it to keep you plastic pullers interested! The toughest climbers battle it out in a unique format – the audience handles the scoring instead of judges.
Bolts & Holds
Setters are strange creatures. Barefoot, chalk covered cretins. Bolts & Holds 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.
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 and imported holds.
