The Climbing Club is a very active part of OP’s extracurricular landscape. We have wall training sessions twice weekly, but our members are really in it for the trips. We get out into the great outdoors whenever we can and hold several weekend climbing camps through the year. Rock climbing is an ideal student sport, offering a mental and physical challenge as well as an opportunity to explore the country.
We also make major trips to Boven in Mpumalanga and smaller trips to Harrismith, Umgeni Valley and the White Umfolozi Gorge in Natal. We sometimes visit the Barn Climbing Gym in Pretoria East where you can practise on the cool routes and purchase gear at the shop.
