©Crag that needs to be confirmed in terms of location and the climbing, from MCK bulletin 71.
©Visible from the new road about 6-10 km (guess) north of Namanga, perhaps 2.5 km and 366 m from the road.
Parts of the lower slabs can be scrambled over. On this first visit we soloed in onto the slabs from the left, took a belay in the middle (small nut left behind) and climbed (Diff) 12 m up to the right end of a swathe of vegetation which leads in from the left at the top of the slabs. A route from the bottom of the slabs at this point would be about 152 m altogether, but most parties w1ll prefer to traverse in along the swathe. There is scope for more routes and an expedition makes a good family weekend combined with the swimming pool at the Namanga Hotel. The rock is sound, not unlike Lukenya, with very occasional loose exfoliation.
©Access in Kenya ranges from very simple (especially in National Parks and Lukenya) to totally impossible.
Please do not pay to climb (outside of National Parks and Lukenya) as you'll ruin access for everyone else.
If you encounter any access issues, please notify the Mountain Club of Kenya so we can monitor and deal with it: https://www.mck.or.ke/contact
©Approach from a point nearer Namanga than the last point from which the crag is visible when driving from Nairobi. Follow a fence line in towards the hills, cl1mb through medium bush to a col and ascend the ridge pleasantly until the cliff can be seen.
