Die Stellenbosch Afdeling
van die BKSA is aan die voet van die Jonkershoekberge in die Wes-Kaap,
Suid-Afrika, gesetel.
Dié afdeling het 'n
ledetal van ongeveer 250 en bied stap en bergklim uitstappies, asook
sosiale geleenthede.
Although the club is mostly
Afrikaans-speaking, the members all share a common love for the
mountains.
English speaking mountaineers and hikers
are more than welcome to join us.
“The mountains are neither wicked,
nor kind to us. They are nothing more than an organic mass. For
us men, they appear unpredictable, and they are not fully understood
scientifically. They have no will of their own, no emotions. They
do not draw us to them, but equally they do not shake us off. They
represent for us a marvellous opportunity for experience. And because
they are infinitely bigger than we are, they remain a dangerous
medium at all levels. ”
- Reinhold Messner '
