Gustav van Rensburg (a la ‘Boven) will be presenting a slideshow on the 2009 trip of a group of mostly MCSA members to Mali to climb the fingers of the famous Hand of Fatima. Join us as Gustav shares their experience in this out of this world climbing destination. He says: “This trip was not just about the climbing, but what Mali has to offer. We spent five days travelling around, up to the ancient city of Timbuktu and around Dogon country. Many traditional Dogon still live in architecturally extraordinary cliff side adobe huts and are renowned for their elaborate masks and sculpture. They are also often hailed as being astute in the science of astronomy. ”
