Aberdares Bouldering

描述

Some bouldering has been done in the Aberdares, though while there are hundreds of freestanding boulders in the area, the rock quality is unfortunately not so good (especially up high at the Dragon’s Tooth proper). It’s probably not worth lugging crash pads up the brutal hike to the higher features, but additional development could be kept lower down where the rock is of seemingly higher quality. We've uploaded the established boulders in any case for intrepid souls, and the guidebook by Nathan Brand can be downloaded here: https://www.mck.or.ke/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Northern-Kenya-Bouldering-Guidebook-Final.pdf

Access in Kenya ranges from very simple (especially in National Parks and Lukenya) to totally impossible.

Please do not pay to climb (outside of National Parks and Lukenya) as you'll ruin access for everyone else.

If you encounter any access issues, please notify the Mountain Club of Kenya so we can monitor and deal with it: https://www.mck.or.ke/contact

前往

Getting to the Dragon’s Tooth portion of the Aberdares is no easy task.

From the town of Nyahururu, drive east about 28km until you see a dirt road on the right with small signs for the Aberderes and Shamata Gate. From there, drive 22km on the very rough road to reach the gate. You will have a left, a right, and a left turn along the way. Ask locals to ensure you are on the right path. Once at the Shamata Gate KWS station, make your arrangements. From there, continue about 10km up the Shamata Gate dirt road to the Twin Peaks parking lot (large rocky formations adjoin this spot).

From here you can hike up to the Dragon’s Tooth (3-4 hours, guiding recommended) or follow the directions in the Car Camping Ridge area to the car camping spot. From that spot there are several other boulder covered ridges besides those described here that could be accessed with 1-2 hours hiking.

Pins may not be 100% accurate, but should be in the right area.

Nathan Brand, Nathan Sick and Andrew Andress were the first to document boulder problems in the area in 2017, though people have probably been scrambling on boulders for some time!
