Routes as sport in Malawi

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

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.

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

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

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.

Starts below the ledge to clip to bolt 1. Climb over the arete to the right. A sequence of moves stemming along the dihedral gets you to the massive pinch and then jug on the right where you can clip in bolt 3. Great holds up to the crux at bolts 6-8 coming into the undercling. After clipping, climb down and traverse onto the slab using the slopper below bolt 7. Very tiny crimps lead to an awkward position only escapable by a heel and mantle to the anchors.

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.

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.
