Description

A large field scattered with boulders and a couple of top-rope climbs. Within the suburbs of Harare, free and unrestricted access. Parking is unguarded and isolated, so don't leave valuables in the car.

Note that many of the numbered climbs on the photos are projects, and are yet to be completed.

Getting There

Park at the end of Mawushe Road, which then extends out into the field. The bolted rock (top rope bolts) is 200m west as you enter the field, the boulders are scattered throughout and are easily seen.
