Crag features
Jebel Kujur is the mountain on the outskirts of Juba in South Sudan. The climbing mostly takes place on one of the largest granite cliffs just below the Jebel's summit. There are around thirty routes, all bolted and with bolted chains/lower-offs, from F5+ to F7b+, with potential for more. Don't be put off by the hard starts - many climbs ease off considerably after the first few moves. May to October there is very little shade and it is hot and humid. November to April there is plenty of shade with hot and dry weather.
For more information and to meet other climbers, contact the "Juba Climbing Friends" group on Facebook.
Take care to avoid snakes. The other side of the Jebel is still militarised and may be mined.
Approach notes
Park at the bottom of the hill at the Jebel Lodge (cars are safe here). Follow a path up towards the highest point of the Jebel, trending slightly leftwards through very high grass. Plastic bottles mark the correct path. The crag is clearly visible and divided into distinct sections by the two huge trees at the base which disappeared some time ago!.

Do not argue with anyone if you're asked to leave. This area is an important military look out and access can change very quickly.
