Rwakobo Rock Rock climbing 9 routes in crag

Rwakobo Rock 0°31'42.2"S 30°59'58.4"E The entire area around Lake Mburo National Park has rock climbing potential. Many rocks are easy scrambles, but with a bit of searching and asking around, good bouldering, sheer faces for top rope and trad climbing can be found. The “Top of the Rock” section at the Rwakobo Rock Lodge was developed in early August 2017 with eight routes added at that time (six for lead and two top-rope only). The routes vary in length of just 4m for beginners to 12m and SA grades from 14-25. More sport routes could certainly be added and a few interesting bouldering problems can be found nearby.

Note: the area around Monkey tent has potential for development once brush is cleared and access granted by the owner.

As of February 2018, this is the only bolted/documented section of Rwakobo. All routes accessible to setup top rope. An extra safety bolt was placed at Top of the Rock to help facilitate this.

Baboons are a real problem at this crag. They have learned to enter the lodge and steal food and other possessions. If you walk around through the woods, you'll see lots of items that have been stolen and then discarded by the baboons. Keep your car windows up and your doors shut. Keep all your possessions in your bag close to you. Several climbers here have had shoes and other small items swiped by these sometimes not so little pests.
