In December of 2024 my team and I set off to the Ennedi Plateau. We drove 3 days across the savannas of central Chad and deep into the southern Sahara desert. There we found the remnants of ancient peoples along with their modern descendants continuing to tend the same sandy lands. And of course, incredible monuments of unclimbed sandstone. The rock was particularly chossy, but nothing that a seasoned desert climber wouldn’t love. All said, we enjoyed the summits of 4 new routes on 3 arches and 20+ new routes on independent towers.

Come hear about it and get some free beer.
