Rwanda Rock Posted on June 24, 2005 at 06:04:53 PM by Ken Ford
Hello Everyone,
I am situated in Kigali, Rwanda and will be here for the next several years. If any of you have and rock information for me on Rwanda or surrounding area please post it.
So far the places I have seen are:
Between Rhuengeri and Gesenyi there are several good size cliffs that offer opportunity to climb, the down side is there are so many people around that whenever there is any climbing activity hundreds come out to see it and destroy the fields below the cliffs.
There is a very nice looking cliff over in Rusumo, that is about 100m high, limestone, and slightly overhanging. I don't know if there is any climbing history, any of you know? The problem with this cliff is that it is no mans land between Tanzania and Rwanda. Hope to check it out soon though.
The rest I have seen is poor quality rock and short. Anyone have any other info. What about rock in Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Replies:
