Access Issue: Climbing open to MCU members
Details
The Muyenga Quarry is owned privately and MCU has an agreement with the landowner to allow access to member climbers. All bolts and chains are maintained by the Mountain Club of Uganda (MCU). To learn how to become a member, visit MCU.ug.
Description
The route starts off with arm heavy moves and the transition over to the left side of the wall is tricky. There is a side pull but it can be a major stretch for most people and there is also a small crimp hold you can use with your right hand to help with the transition.
After that, the route becomes a vertical climb with fairly good hand holds until the end where you will find many crimp holds. Overall, the route is a great way to force yourself to work on different climbing techniques as they will all be critical to successfully get to the top.
Location
The start is similar to Rasta Populos but you move to the left.
Protection
7 bolts and anchor chains
