Academy for Global Exploration Climbs in S. Africa

TUESDAY, 27 NOVEMBER 2007

Academy for Global Exploration (AGE) has just returned from a two-month climbing trip to South Africa’s Western Cape Province! Students climbed at Silvermine Crags in Cape Town, spent two weeks bouldering and climbing in world-famous Rocklands (featured in several issues, including the December issue of Climbing Magazine), two weeks climbing the endless walls in Montagu, and smearing the limestone crags in Oudtshoorn.

Future destinations include (fall - spring)*:

  • 2007-2008: South Africa (bouldering, rock climbing) - TBA (skiing/snowboarding)
  • 2008-2009: Argentina (skiing/snowboarding) - Greece (rock climbing)
  • 2009-2010: Fiji (surfing) - Italy, Sardinia (mountaineering, rock climbing)
* All destinations subject to change. All changes will be posted at www.AGExplore.org.

AGE, based in Ashland, Oregon, in the beautiful Siskiyou Mountains, spends eight weeks of each semester traveling in a foreign country. Their trips are designed to allow students the opportunity to both familiarize themselves with and participate in the local community and culture. Homestays, community service projects, school visitations, and cultural events are incorporated into each semester's curriculum and itinerary.

Check out the AGE website for highlights from the trip and for more information about upcoming climbing, skiing, kayaking, biking, and surfing semesters.
