Nathenje Nathenje Quarry
5.9 Flake

Leftmost route at the crag, climbing follows the huge flake past 3 bolts to the anchor. Crux is at the beginning of the climb at bolt 1

Sport 6m, 3
5.10a Face

Face climb with a boulder problem at the crux at bolt 2 which demands a stretchy lift move on the left or a heel hook to get to the edge (near the skewed white streak) and bump to the better hold. Also possible to go up using the tiny two finger crimp/pocket.

5.10b Zoona ("It is True")

Start either directly below bolt 1 or slight on the right beneath the flake and layback your way with powerful moves to the first crux at bolt 1. Climb past bolts 2 and 3 along the fissure line to get an unobvious position to clip at the crux on bolt 4 (holds are reachy). Stem wide to prop up to the anchors.

Warning: Loose rocks

5.10b Nditha ("I Can")

One of the two quintessential climbs at Nathenje (besides Zoona "It is True"). Endurance is required

5.11d Mphatso

Route goes up the orange streak part in the middle section of the crag to the right of Nditha. Climb past 2 bolts with powerful moves to reach at the crux just after the under-clings. Dynamic move to go past the crux to the side-pull then gets less strenuous.

5.11a Nsima

Climb starts on top of the ledge to clip at bolt 1, then up on the right to stem up past bolts 2-4. Crux is slab section between bolts 7 and 8

5.12b Osafooka! ("Never Give Up!")

Osafooka ("Never Giver Up!") is a true test. Climb meant to start slightly on the left beneath bolt 1, but a variation exists to also start from the ledge. The bottom climb has bad holds which progressively get worse getting to the crux at bolt 3. Then holds become sloping crimps.

5.10c Wrestling with Rock

A boulder start leads you to a couple of left hand pinches, then mantle up to the shelf leading to the crux at the bulge at bolt 3 into a giant flake under-cling. Counterpressure moves to move past the crux past bolts 4 and 5 to anchor.
