As many know, the Cape Town section of the MCSA hosts a 'climber's first Tuesday of the month' slideshow in the eve.

The content is uniquely rock-climbing and mountaineering, but in the broad sense.
The purpose is to keep everyone fired for climbing and is equally an occasion to get everyone around the bar together once a month.

Everyone is very welcome.
Of course non-members who attend regularly, usually come to see why being a member of the club makes lots of sense

A thank-you to Christina, who has for the last three years organised some very inspiring and entertaining features, and also to Ian and his team, who consistently run the 'back of house' with aplomb (the bar)
Thank you too of course to everyone who has been volunteering to give us their slideshows!

I have agreed to organise the features for a while - please would everyone keep an ear to the ground, and feed me lots of suggestions about friends that have done trips, opened projects, or know of visitors to the fairest cape that may have some tales to tell / slides to show.
Furthermore, if there are any suggestions re the current format, please give me a shout.

Please email or PM me - this doesn't really warrant a discussion - I will follow up leads outside of the forum.

Thanks!

This month's theme is 'Blast From the Past' with several features from the roaring 80s and 90s.

First Symphony:

The SABC broadcast of the 1995 waterfront sports-climbing competition.
This is a real 'whos-who' of the South African scene at the time, and at least 22 current climbers are featured! (Some as young as 11) See how many you can spot!
The broadcast also contains a feature on the training regime of 19-year-old Justin Hawkins.

Second Symphony:

Choice of:

'Solo Ascent' is another SABC documentary from the early 90s on Chris Lomax and his solo exploits on Table Mountain and the NW face of Du Toits. Also featuring a 16-year old AdK and a youthful Tony Dick!

Master's of Stone set the standard for international climbing movies in the 80s and 90s. Director Eric Perlman was there to capture things like the up and coming Chris Sharma, Katie Brown and the antics of Ron Kauk, John Bachar and Dan Osman. Need I say more?
