Access Issue: Private Land Details

The cliffs and access are on private land and have been historically sensitive - please be respectful to the landowners and any locals. Contact the Mountain Club of Kenya for up to date protocols and recommendations.

Description

One of the outlying crags around Nairobi, it features 1-2 pitch routes on massive, featured columnar basalt. The good climbing combines steep, well-protected crack lines, deep chimneys, and featured face climbing. The less-traveled climbing can be considered dangerous and the rock should be carefully evaluated. Numerous accidents in recent years have shown that the easier lines should be approached with a good degree of caution and conservative risk assessment.

Getting There

A bit hard to find and access is sensitive, so contact the Mountain Club of Kenya before going. Roughly 1.5 hours outside Nairobi, a good chunk of it on rough road.

The road is difficult to pass when wet. Camping is among boulders at the base.
