Bouldering

i did get to climb a bit on the trip. here's some makeshift bouldering on the very sharp dead coral at pangani beach.



here's a member of my little tanzania climbing team bouldering in my shoes. we had about 10 kids following us around and trying to boulder in their sandals. they did very well and they were psyched!

below is the best boulder we found in all of tanzania, an FA which i named aptly "maasai warrior." and a warrior of a problem it was. this was in mwanza, which has a ton of rock everywhere. much of the rock is on private land, so you need to get a bouldering community to own some property and climb in eachother's backyards. i wish i had been here the whole time, i definitely would have climbed a lot more. the only downfall is that a lot of the rock is rather egglike and featureless.

here's erine getting beta from a maasai warrior at longido. actually, i think he was very confused about what we were doing, but was curious to watch.
