Maties Climbing welcomes you to a family of climbers, recreational, competitive, and adventurous!
This page promotes fitness, outdoor adventure and specifically Sport Climbing in the area of Stellenbosch. We are a Maties Society with a wide variety of cultures, a massive kaleidoscope of languages and people from all over intermingling and climbing as a sport or just for fun. One gets to know many people and climbing partners to widen the horizons of your climbing experience.
