The Support
Our mission is clear: we aim to raise awareness of this incredible sport throughout the Eastern Cape. We are actively organizing fundraisers and seeking potential sponsors to support our athletes’ participation in competitions across the country and around the globe. By providing the necessary resources and opportunities, we believe that our climbers can continue to excel and make their presence felt on both the national and international stages.
Join us in our pursuit to elevate climbing in the Eastern Cape to new heights. Together, we can nurture talent, build a strong community, and create a lasting impact in the world of climbing.
The inspiration
Our journey has been greatly influenced by the presence of Valley Crag Indoor Climbing Centre in Port Elizabeth. Under the guidance of Jay-D Muller, the manager of Valley Crag, we have witnessed the remarkable development of athletes who have not only excelled in national competitions but also made their mark on the international climbing scene. We express our sincere gratitude to Valley Crag and Jay-D Muller for their invaluable contribution to the growth of climbing in the Eastern Cape.
In 2024 Jay-D Muller was selected as the official climbing coach for the Olympic South African Climbing team
