Maxi-Dash is an annual event for the rock climbers of the Club and for ‘climbing guests’ who would wish to participate. The idea is to gather as many points as possible by climbing set climbs at five (5) different crags around Nairobi. These are Lukenya, Embaribal, Frog, Ndeiya & Hell’s Gate Nat’l Park (OK, Hell’s Gate is not quite near Nairobi)! Although the action during the daylight hours is focused on the climbers, the weekend is also a Club ‘meet’ for camping at Hell’s Gate. At the end of the climbing on Saturday evening, we gather at a campground in the Park. All MCK members and guests are invited to bring drinks and food and convene round the fire to recount tales of the day.Camping – The camping will be at the Ol Dubai campsite at Hells Gate.

Frog – Last weekend some climbers had a run in with a Maasai at Frog who demanded payment for climbing and then got very agitated when his demands were refused. We had thought these problems had been resolved with the local chief, but apparently there are still issues. The border between the Maasai and Kenyan Army land is somewhere around route 50. The routes (numbered 1 – 50) south of this are on Maasai land which may or may not belong to people who demand payment for climbing there. The routes (numbered 50 – 100) north of this point are on Kenyan Army land and we have never had any probems on these routes. Anyone climbing on the routes numbered 0 – 50 should be aware of the possibility that someone will show up and demand payment.
