Hiking and scrambling A wide range of meets are offered - from relaxed, easy walks with lots of botanising, all the way through to adventurous scrambling on routes that few venture onto; from half and full-day hikes on the Cape Peninsula, to weekend and longer hiking trips in remote ranges of the Western Cape; from kloofing trips with boulder hopping and swimming in river pools in summer, to playing on snow-covered peaks in winter; from purely self-indulgent hikes, to satisfying outreach and conservation meets.Our ‘mid-week’ Thursday group is an adventurous and fit bunch; on Tuesdays we accommodate those who prefer a slower pace and shorter hikes; and over weekends you could find anything in between!

The MCSA-CT section’s rock climbing sub-committee is involved with the following activities:
