I'd like to go out after work and can be there at like 4:30 for a short session if anyone is interested. Or even The Mine...although I don't know how to get there and it seems it is a longer walk in. I'm keen on any grade up to around 24/25. Let me know Cheers, Cuan

Don't go there when the South Easter blows. See this link for directions in the Wiki _________________ Climb ZA - Administrator justin@climbing.co.za

I thought the walk in to The Mine sounded like it took a while from the topo/WC guide? My mistake

The big difference between the two is that The Mine is overhanging and Silvermine is mostly vertical. Enjoy! _________________ Climb ZA - Administrator justin@climbing.co.za

Well I guess this close to winter time it is a waste to go unless you can get out there a little earlier. But I would rather climb outdoors after work if possible than inside :S
