The Emgwenya Mountain Club is a registered non-profit organisation based in Waterval Boven that was started in 2012. Their primary objectives are to get more of the Boven youth climbing, hiking, and kloofing. Thanks to the fundraising efforts in 2022 the club was able to establish its first local climbing wall earlier this year. At the moment the club is running weekly climbing sessions both on rock and at their local wall. They have a regular group of fifteen children that attend ranging from eight years old to seventeen. In order to aid them further, all the proceeds from our friendly competition will go towards assisting them. We appreciate your support in this community based initiative!
Everyone who enters any CityROCK gym must fill out our liability waiver. This includes climbers, spectators and parents. For children under 18 years of age, the liability waiver must be signed by their parent or legal guardian.
