Good luck with the op - fortunately "We have the technology" to fix/replace knees... you should be up at Milner in no time.."
Richard Behne commented on Roger Nattrass's blog post Silverbacks"Great post Roger. I see you guys have done some good stuff up at Milner. I'll try cling to some of your inspiring comments as I hobble my creaking knee into surgery tomorrow."
Roger Nattrass posted a blog postSilverbacks
Silverbacks. Next week I am going to Milner Amphitheatre on a week-long climbing trip with my long time friend Steve Bradshaw (the senior version who is not related to the other Steve B). I am excited as he is great company and has always inspired me. But getting inspired shouldn’t be hard as I am excited to go on a climbing trip where we will talk a bunch of rubbish and listen to loud Pink Floyd. He jokingly sms’ed me the other day: ‘I am so psyched for climbing I am thinking of quitting (as a…See More

We planned to climb everything on this years bouldering trip to Rocklands. We had to eat humble pie instead... fortunately it proved to be a very satisfying meal
Roger Nattrass posted a blog postClimbing in the 80's
There were no climbing specialists in the 1980s. If you considered yourself a climber you aspired to climb everything. Cracks, faces, dihedrals (corners) and arêtes. Hard trad lines at the local crag and big walls were all on the menu – all training to one day bash your way to the summit of a snow-covered alpine peak. You…See More
Roger Nattrass posted a videoArco, Italy - a sport climbing paradise
A short movie about three mates and their families on a rock climbing holiday one summer in Arco Italy. Cool clips of limestone climbing and all the extras that make an Italian holiday sublime... Filmed entirely on an Ipod! Shot and edited by Roger…

Roger Nattrass posted a blog postThe mysteries of bouldering
In 1996 I travelled with bouldering legends Fred Nicole, Todd Skinner and Scott Milton into the Cederberg to check out its bouldering potential. Well to be honest I wasn't interested in the boulders. I was actually looking for the established sport routes and scurried past the boulders to climb the classic Rockland's routes such as Ceder Rouge and Orange Plasma. Skinner and Nicole however had seen the bouldering motherlode and began to scratch the surface of its endless potential opening…See More
Roger Nattrass posted a blog postMemories of Todd Skinner
My blog posts always refer to the late Todd Skinner and I am getting numerous queries as to who this inspiration was. Todd was a Wyoming cowboy whose business card proclaimed him as a 'Climber, Motivational Speaker and a "Helluva Buckaroo"! It was a description that aptly summed up his zest for a life of adventure, his infectious enthusiasm and his amiable personality. The first time my wife Andrea and I travelled to Lander, Wyoming, we planned to visit for only a week, but ended up living in…See More
Roger Nattrass posted a blog postDoubt versus Determination
Doubt versus Determination So, feeling like a crack peddler I managed to convince Scott to travel back to Oudtshoorn ... again. It was two months later and time for another go. This time I was two kilos lighter but with two injured elbows from the 2 000 pull ups since the last visit. I was keen but also knew that this project was getting a little ridiculous, not to mention expensive. Scott was high on the illusions I had been selling so he had everything planned to the minute. We would get in…See More

I see that Tornado has been tamed! Awesome Roger. Please come climb up here in the north and inspire a creaking old codger.
