ABOUT
Montagu Rock Rally 2017 - Register NOW - https://goo.gl/forms/RQWwmIHcZCDdON7A3The yearly gathering of rock climbers is once again taking place in the lovely and tranquil town of Montagu!
Whether you'rethe seasoned climber with hands of leather or the beginner who doesn't know what a carabiner is, the Montagu Rock Rally (MRR) weekend is about bringing the climbing community together, promoting the sport and having a jol whilst doing it! As usual the rally serves as a fundraiser for the Anchor Replacement Fund (ARF). For those who don't know ARF makes sure the bolts we climb on are safe and helps maintain the paths we walk on to get to the crags.
As always there will be great prizes - eg for the best dressed team. So come along, bring your family, your friends and even your dog for a fun day of climbing followed by a prize giving, banquet dinner and party.
