Rock-climbing trilogy

My rock-climbing trilogy for teens comprises the following: 'Rockface', 'Gap' and 'Runout'. They follow the lives of four or five teens who climb in various parts of South Africa and abroad. They also deal with the day-to-day lives and issues of teens in Grades 11 and 12. 

'Rockface' is set in Cape Town and Montagu, 'Gap' mostly in Gap and Ceuse in France, and 'Runout' mostly in the Cederberg. 'Gap' and 'Runout' have wraparound historical stories: the Arthurian tale of Lancelot and Guinevere in 'Gap', and the archival-based story of a San girl who was captured by a commando in the 1700s and sent to work on a Dutch farm. These three books are only available from the publisher, Oxford University Press, Southern Africa.
