Trust that this note finds you all very well.
Those of you who still read the MCSA Journal in hard copy form will most likely have received yours by now. For the rest of us, I’m happy to let you know that the latest edition has now been uploaded to the Docwize platform.
You can pick up the latest UIAA news at https://mailchi.mp/theuiaa/uiaa-monthly-newsletter-september2024?e=b6388d25b0
& for those of you who may be planning trips further afield the Alpine Handbook can be ordered here: https://theuiaa.typeform.com/to/EMC94oyN
Continuing the ‘reading’ theme, many of you will be familiar with the classic book on the Drakensberg, ‘Barrier of Spears’, by Reg Pearse. Reg’s son Malcolm has now written a sequel, ‘All the Hills are Home’, which is currently with the printers. If you would like further information on this, or to pre-order a copy, he may be reached at summitventures@mweb.co.za.
