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.
Mayhem Mountain Festival
Every year over the Easter Weekend we make our holy highline pilgrimage to Boven for the Mayhem Mountain Festival. Five days of climbing, highlining, trail running, and the best bush doef this side of the Orange River.
MMF is the ultimate outdoor gathering for the FA community. Whether you're sending hard boulders, walking highlines, or just vibing around the fire, this is where memories are made. April 2–6, 2026 at Waterval Boven.

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.
Gauteng Climbing Boulder Cup 2026
FA hosts the Gauteng Climbing Boulder Cup — Saturday 16 May, 8am to 8pm. Strong and Weak categories climb the same finals boulders with shared and restricted holds, so everyone gets a real shot at the send. Competitors register on Quicket; spectators welcome. Gym closed to the public 15 & 16 May for setting and comp day.
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.
FA Film Festival
The Mellow Film Tour comes to FA. World-class climbing films projected on the gym walls — featuring Brooke Raboutou, Sean Bailey, Connor Herson and more. R150, limited to 150 tickets.
