Luwazi Rock Climbing Day Trip

MCU is organizing a climbing day trip to Luwazi.

We’ll set up the ropes at the crag, but you need to organize your own transport.

You need to have passed the MCU belay test, or demonstrate correct belay technique to participate. If you have not already passed the belay test, please come with someone who will belay you.

Trip fee: 25,000 UGX per person, inclusive of gear rental & parking.

Please bring along snacks and enough water, and ensure you get to the crag early, as prime climbing time is between 7am to midday, after which it gets too hot to climb.

Directions to the Luwazi crag can be found here: http://mcu.ug/climbing/luwazi
