Routes in Around Nairobi for selected grade

The first sport route on the left. Begin up an easy slab to steeper terrain. Somewhat runout.

This route was rebolted in January 2020. The bolt placements were kept the same as the FA party. Currently (1/25/20) no anchor but it's possible to traverse right to an anchor.

The leftmost of the three rock formations.

1. Work up a delightfully easy steep slab wandering through large huecos to a low-angle slab to reach a two-bolt anchor. 20 meters.

2. Continue up the slab as it gains in angle and difficult before heading left to a second two-bolt anchor. 24 meters.

(Shadrock Swagger actually has a good steeper first pitch option coming from the right. Climb the first pitch the rappel off to the right and bolt something there!)

First impressions are that the grade is 22 A2, but we would be happy for a second ascent party to downgrade the difficulty. Will write up description, but anyone wanting to repeat the route, can contact me at any time. Three pitches, right-hand side of Springs Wall, through the left side of overhangs.

The slab between the two larger slabs in this area actually has an anchor and no protection bolts. The climbing on this slab is SUPER featured and cool and there is room for two or three different routes that could all finish on this existing anchor.
