Rock climbing in Chad, Africa, is a relatively new sport, but the country’s ancient and rich culture has a long history of mountain-climbing traditions. The country is home to the highest peak in the Sahara Desert, Mount Emi Koussi, which stands at a staggering 11,204 feet.
The earliest recorded evidence of mountain-climbing in Chad is from the Wadai Empire, a kingdom that ruled from the 17th century to the early 20th century. During this period, the Wadai people would travel to the highlands of the Tibesti and Ennedi regions to climb the impressive mountains. Stories and legends of these expeditions have been passed down through generations and are still told today.
In the modern era, rock climbing in Chad was first introduced by French mountaineers in the 1970s. They were drawn to the country’s stunning landscapes and challenging terrain, and soon began to explore the mountains of the Tibesti and Ennedi regions. The French mountaineers encountered local tribes, who were more than happy to share their knowledge of the mountains. As a result, the French climbers learned many of the traditional techniques used to climb the mountains, such as using ropes and harnesses, and the use of cams and pitons.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, rock climbing in Chad began to gain more popularity and international attention. Several mountaineering clubs and organizations began organizing expeditions to the Tibesti and Ennedi regions. This period also saw the first international climbing competitions held in the country, such as the Chad Adventure Race.
Modern Climbing Scene
Today, rock climbing in Chad is still seen as a relatively new sport, but the country’s rich culture and ancient mountain-climbing traditions have endured. The country is still home to some of the most challenging and beautiful mountains in the world, and the sport continues to draw international attention and respect. With its unique history and culture, Chad is a great destination for rock climbers of all levels and experience.
