Bouldering In Swaziland And Lesotho
OutdoorUAE|February 2018

There is an unspoken phenomenon, occurring within the climbing community. As climbers, we tend to visit only heavily marketed areas, climb the “popular” routes, stay at the “cool” camps, and even take the same photos.

Thus, the excitement can quickly drain and “snobbery” spread if we lose focus of climbing’s true calling. When I joined a group of friends on a road trip to climb in unknown destinations in South Africa in addition to Swaziland and Lesotho, many climbing friends questioned “why?”

“If you’re headed to South Africa, why not visit the Rocklands or Cape Town, like all the pros,” they asked? The mention of Swaziland and Lesotho also seemed wasted time to many of them. “Are there even boulders there,” they interrogated?
