Day 2 - Mentor Day

The PETZL Rock and Road trips have always been packed with awesome hard climbing, but this is not only what it is all about. The event is also there to develop climbing and climbers in the region where it is occurring. This day the top climbers will be using their rest day to help Rhodes University Mountain Club in their Outreach program. Motlatsi Khosi and the other RUML members have been running an outreach program in Nombulelo High school from the Township district Joza, in Grahamstown. The aim of these sessions was to introduce the learners to some aspect of climbing and providing them with the opportunity to learn team work, life skills as well as some physical training.
