Why Become a Member of MCSA MAG?

As a member you benefit from MCSA’s vast treasure trove of shared resources, the experience and knowledge of our leaders and access to restricted mountain areas for enthralling activities like hiking, rock climbing and kloofing. You get to belong to an organisation that boasts more than 125 years of mountaineering experience, that has a long-standing affiliation to the UIAA, and that has access to reciprocal rights with other mountain clubs around the world.

As a member you become a co-steward of MAG MCSA’s properties. In addition, you have access to all properties owned by the entire MCSA entity across Southern Africa. Furthermore, you are invited to participate in MCSA MAG’s regular training sessions on mountaineering-related topics. In addition, you have access to discounts offered at some outdoor shops and climbing gyms.

We invite you to apply to be a part of a club that cares deeply for our country’s natural resources and beauty – a club that explores every kloof and every mountain of South Africa and those beyond.
