Open Forum > New Climbs in Kenya
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

If you have climbed a rock (or ice?) route in Kenya that you believe has never been done, please describe it in detail for us. Include date of first ascent; grade; whether it is free or aided; any bolts pegs or anchors; name of climber(s); name of the route. Photos should be sent to the club and referenced.
Thanks, I hope to read about your new route soon. . . Alex
