You’re invited to rediscover
Waterval Boven
Boven Open Weekend aims to show off what the town of Waterval Boven has to offer, build relationships with locals, and have a good time! Hosted by the MCSA and the Boven Reboot Initiative, this fun-filled weekend will show you a side of Boven you’ve never seen before.
On Saturday, join the MCSA, Wits Mountain Club, and the Emgwenya Climbing Team for a day of climbing at the Ebony and Ivory Towers crag – featuring a local Boven Market at the foot of the crag selling food, drinks, and more. On Sunday, hike a newly cut route passing four majestic waterfalls over 8.5 km. To top it off, you’ll end with a bridge swing rigged by the Emgwenya Climbing Club.
This is an opportunity to explore new routes and local gems. See you there!

Today, climbers will take part in the Olympic Games for the first time ever. With such a momentous occasion, I think it is a great time to reflect, with tongue in cheek, on how we got here and where we are likely to go in the future.
