Why men climb free

It's our way of marking International Men's Day

International Men's Day is on 19 November, and we're marking it the way we know best: a weekend on the wall. In August the women climbed free for Women's Day. Now it's the men's turn, so bring your mates.

How it works

Three steps, then you're on the wall

1

Sign the waiver

Two minutes online now, and you go straight past the desk on the day. Or just rock up and sign at the door.

2

Rock up

Any time over the weekend, on your own or with your mates. There is nothing to book.

3

Climb

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Climbing shoes are for hire at R60 a pair.
