Climbing in Equatorial Guinea
|
I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge on anything climbing related in Equatorial Guinea, Africa, specifically Bioko Island. I'm heading there for 5 months on a research expedition, and it looks like a rad place to climb in the downtime, with plenty of cliffs, crags, and mountains from what I can gather from pictures. I can't find any information on crags, established routes or recorded ascents anywhere, so just seeing if anyone has some input. |

I've been to a lot of similar places and it looks like classic volcanic island rock - dubious with the exception of a few odd pillars and extrusion crags. Maybe some bouldering here and there. Probably some good diving though. What are you going to be researching? |

Thanks for the input, I've never climbed in volcanic areas like this before so wasn't sure what to expect but definitely wanting to give it a go if I can. |

Might be interesting to study if any bushmeat hunting is going on and its impact if so... |
|
It's a pretty impacted area, even prior to the road. Most likely its completion only expedited things in a not so great way... |

Nice stuff, looking forward to it - enjoy! |
