Title: Addis Ababa knowledge?
Post by: bolehillbilly on January 31, 2014, 02:46:13 pm
A bit of a long shot maybe but does anyone know anything about or have experience of climbing/bouldering in Ethiopia – specifically in and around Addis Ababa?

My trip isn’t sport related this time but I’ve got a weekend free when I’m there and it would be a chance to scope out some climbing for a longer visit in the future.
It would need to be somewhere accessible as a day trip from Addis.

I’ve got a bit of info about Armora Gedel   :google: which fits the bill but I don’t expect it’s the sort of spot to turn up to and hope to find someone with knowledge/or climbing.

Alternatively any ideas about expat climbers/ local climbing community/ climbing wall would be appreciated.

Also any general non-climbing thoughts about visiting Addis would be appreciated...

Cheers.  When you start digging around the climbing already developed and future potential looks amazing but like you say a huge place and little infrastructure.  Hopefully this trip will yield a bit more info and contacts.
