Felix Berg climbed the top of Himalayas: Cholatse (6445m), Baruntse (7182m) and beautiful Ama Dablam (6855m), Kangchenjunga (8586m) north face and Mount Everest (8850m). Already in 2004 at the age of 23 years he reached the summit of Everest as expedition leader. Felix has pioneered new routes in Africa including the first ground-up ascent on the East face of Mt.Poi (650m, 7b+/A0) and a Ruwenzori traverse from Congo to Uganda. Other challenging routes as on the Eiger and in Patagonia top up great stories that Felix will present live on his slide show on 22nd February 2011 at the clubhouse at the Nairobi Sailing and Sub Aqua Club.

The “Mini-Dash” rock climbing competition is a shorter alternative to the annual “Maxi-Dash.” The objective of the Mini Dash is for teams of two people to score as many points as possible by successfully climbing set climbs in Lukenya.

All MCK members and guests, including non climbers, are welcome to spectate the competition. Once the Mini Dash is over, all are invited to camp on the Lukenya grounds on Saturday night, so don’t forget to bring your tents, drinks, and food. A great opportunity to convene round the file and recount tales of the day.
