Borena zone tends to be overlooked as a climbing destination, and previous expeditions focused on more high-profile area in Bale mountains, northern Ethiopia and around Addis Ababa. However, there are a number of beautiful rock formations to be explored in the Borena rangelands, from the border with Southern Ethiopia Region, all the way to the Kenyan border. Rock quality seems to vary, but sandstone is most prevalent.
Questões de acesso
Tolerado
Accessing Borena zone tends to be challenging due to the isolation of the area. However flight to Arba Minch/Hawassa and road travel to Borena remains possible. Few foreigners visit the area and climbing is virtually unknown in Borena zone. Local pastoralists tend to be chill, despite occurrences of ethnic conflicts in the past and the occasional militia presence.
