North East
This crag has 10+ chain belays, and more routes are continuing to be developed by The Mountain Club of Uganda (MCU). Most routes are bolted for single pitch sport climbing, although a few are top-rope only. Both crag faces get afternoon shade, and climbing is great from about 2:30 pm to sunset at around 7 pm, which is consistent year-round in Uganda. On cloudy days, the rock stays cool enough that climbers can climb from sunrise to sunset.
MCU regularly runs climbing events at the quarry, where club equipment is available for rent to members who don't have their own gear. Check www.mcu.ug for a calendar of events.
Access issues
Allowed
Paid
Climbing here is only permitted to Mountain Club of Uganda members and Anjuman-E-Burhani Masjid members (if accompagnied by a MCU members). Membership details at mcu.ug. It is around 15 USD per year to join and the club reinvests that money in bolting and retrofitting crags so please join up! Consider donating above the membership fees as well. Better yet, offer to help out by cleaning crags, bolting, running trips or carry some much needed club gear into your suitcase on your next flight to UG. Getting gear into the country is tricky and expensive, so bring everything you might need with you.
