Nodes in Nsiita

Insita is Uganda's largest, best, and oldest sport crag.

A nice selection of tough problems and opportunities for FAs!

The descent is tricky. Basically, climb down the tree covered in biting ants.

In the future, to make bouldering here safer, Ishma could be hired to clear the area around the bottom. Careful not to damage the tree as it is really needed for all descents.

This is the harder, sit start variation of the V5 Termite Be Your Last Step. This climb is a project and has yet to be sent.

Very sharp slab with a slightly positive incline. Incredibly small holds and bad footholds. All side pulls to the right of the holds are out-of-bounds, see photo below.

Start sitting on the small rock beneath the boulder and pull up off the ground on the left-hand side pull and the right-hand three-finger sloper, as shown in the beta photo.

First move is a big, right hand throw to a small crimp (Crux move). Then left hand to the small, sharp crimp above your right hand, chalked intermediates can be seen in the photo. Then right hand to the wide sloper pinch directly above and bring your feet up. Right foot high, stand up, reach for the left hand side pull and lean back on it. Crank in with the left and find a good, wide sloper above and then top.

This is the easier, stand start variation of the V7 Termite Be Your Last Breath.

Very sharp slab with a slightly positive incline. Incredibly small holds and bad footholds. All side pulls to the right of the holds are out-of-bounds, see photo.

Start standing on the small rock beneath the boulder and pull up off the ground on the left-hand side pull and the right-hand crimp, as shown in the beta photo.

Then right hand to the wide sloper pinch directly above and bring your feet up. Right foot high, stand up, reach for the left hand side pull and lean back on it. Crank in with the left and find a good, wide sloper above and then top.

Easy, stand start, warm-up route on great pockets and abundant footholds, should be mandatory climbing for all who visit Luwazi.

Start with the tree a meter or two to your left. Use the jugs to get off the ground. Then, step right onto the small ledge. From there, just friction climb to the top. Use the tree to descend.

There are five routes on Insita's Right Hand Wall rated between 14-18. There are four bolted sport routes and one top rope project.

A great spot to climb. A couple small trees partially shade the belayers here, but the wall is pretty sun exposed most of the day. Some of the routes share belays and some are missing mallion, so take some biners and slings with you to build anchors where necessary. All can be setup for top rope and all hardware can be retrieved from the top of the crag afterwards.

There are six routes on this wall including the hardest and easiest climb at Insita. The left side has great crack climbing which can be trad climbed and is only bolted for top rope.

The obvious corner after passing the right hand wall and main wall. The hardest sport routes are here. This is the center of the Insita Crag. It has some of the most pumpy moves and only established overhangs in Uganda.

There is a good selection of easier routes on this side. The Egyptian is a super popular intermediate top rope route, but it has been trad climbed as well. These climbs are a bit shorter than on the other areas and a number of them have only one difficult move. The rock here slopes more positively making the routes mostly walk ups with the cruxs being near the ground.

This is the far end of the crag if starting from the right. This is shaded in the morning, so get here early and bag these routes before it turns into an oven.
