myself and a mate recently got transferred to nelspruit for work- driving past all these granite boulders has got me frothing...

I know about waterval boven- just looking for a few spots really close to nelspruit- less than 20 minutes- where one could do a few climbs after work or on a sunday afternoon.

also looking for some used gear- shoes about size 10 uk narrow foot and a medium harness?

Scratching the depths of my memory, but I seem to remember going to a nice spot out the other side of the Airport called Sanddrif(t)? With Gustav just before the Millenium. Remember some great rock, some of which needed a bit of cleaning up, how to get there, not a clue now!

Edit - looking on the map, I think it was near Kaapsehoop, but there seems to be a lot more houses there now than I remember!

No worries. Check with Gustav at RnR, I'm sure he knows more. I've wondered in the past if those slabs on the koppies around town would produce any good routes, or they might be too easy.
