Hello,

I am planning a trip to Kenya very soon, I was wondering whether there are any recorded routes in the Mt Elgon region. If so are there any guides/ information about them? Could you reccommend any other areas to explore new potential routes?

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Peter, I know it is too late for a reply but friends from Laisamis last december told me about climbers that attempted to mt. Elgon in the past years. I am also interested about climbing routes and attempts in the northern region. How was finally your trip?

Hey Alex -

Have started posting some stuff on www.rockclimbing.com for climbs in Western. Will start sending it through you first, just to verify the FA. Some good, short crack climbs and a bunch of great bouldering out here around Bungoma and Kisumu. Happy to show anyone around who happens to be out here.

Cheers,
Ian
