** This thread discusses: Centenary of the First Ascent of the Sentinel **

This promises to be an interesting event. So far about 70 people are said to be climbing on various routes!

Witsieshoek Resort is fully booked and Sentinel Car Park will probably be pretty crowded.

Any members from this site joining the event? So far I know of gollum, ClimbyKel and myself.

Hi Gollum

I beleive you helping ppl down on Sat
Are you descending via Angus Leppan route or std route?

Intrepid and ClimbyKel which route will you be doing?

We're probably going for McLeod's Variation, though we may fall back onto Standard Route. We'll have to take our place in the queue for the top rope on the bottom pitch regardless though.

Mike you guys are sleeping over on the mountain? And which route? We managed to get a camping spot at Witsies today due to a cancellation, so gollum we probably won't see you at the car park (except maybe Saturday morning bright and early) but will see you somewhere on the peak or at Witsies.

Anyone still looking for climbing partners or trying interesting routes?

Yeah we will walk up light at about 22 00 on Friday night and either bivvy at the base of the Sentinel or take Sentinel cave.We will have to pop up the ladders bright and early to fetch water. tho

We will be relying on the top rope so will stick to the std route.
Looking forward to it see you on Sat
