Cool temps in summer at last! Here warming up on Pistolero prior to sending a project. The crag is situated up on a ridge overlooking the whole of Cape Town, in the back ground is Muizenberg beach and lots of great whites! Photo: Malcolm Gowans.

Taking a moment to smile for the camera! Silver Mine, Cape Town (Cool Hand Luke)

DDT clipping the lip on No Man's Land 5.11d, Silver Mine, South Africa.

One of my favourite boulders. Nice and big with a loooong rising traverse. You can hop on and off in most places which of course I had do to get this picture!

Yours truly enjoying the evening rays. Oh the joys of a timer!

This is a picture of me climbing at Silver Mine in South Africa. It was the first outdoor climb I had ever done.

This is me climbing in silver Mine. My friend did the leading, and I was just top roping. Beautiful views of South Africa in back!

Mid-morning: As we rose from the mist on the Cape Flats we were greeted by this... yet again confirming the Western Cape as a climbing heaven. The session was pumpy and I could just not finish it... but I'll be back... Cobus van Dyk on Sterling Silver (21+). Photographer: Corne van Dyk

Carl Bellingan past the first crux. This route sits near the far bottom end of Fawlty Towers. Belay point is a bit narrow but by no means dangerous.

Seriously picturesque area this. Whole of Cape Town opens up beneath you.

This is a 22(6b+) at silvermine, the route is great, sustained technical climbing to a big break. then a really cool move off a slot through a bulge to a high nasty grip. This pic was taken when I was on holiday in South Africa in December 2001. I am an expat living in oz and pining after the South African summers and rock.
