i haven't been to the mine in ages but remember the last time is was there it was awfully shluaky.

what is the best time to go there? is it when the SEster is blowing or not?

Andy

NOOOIT SOUTH EASTER EQUALS KAAAAAAAK

The shlauk is brought by the south-easter so conditions are generally best if it's not blowing.

how do you spell shluaky? or it is shlauk?
google can't find that word.
it suggests the shlok nightclub

The Mine is quartzite....it gets GREASY
Damn climbers changing our geological terms

The correct spelling is schlauky.

The correct spelling is SCHLORKY [emphasis on the R you bunch of pseudo capetonians! ] . SE is only bad when the cloud comes over. Its dry if there is no cloud.

This might help explain which crags can get Shlauky: http://www.climbing.co.za/wiki/index.ph ... wn#SE_Wind

Slime + Chalk = Shlauk

Slalk or Chime just doesn't sound right :-)

hmm... I think we need a spelling consensus.

I don't mind being wrong. Andy & Keith can battle this one out

I tried to pronounce that after a few drinks last night. Just ended up saying shitty. Works better and somehow semantically also seemed appropriate. Or maybe it is just the boer in me.
