Our partnership with Pa Mitengo Climbing and Calisthenics, Zambia's first indoor climbing wall, supports the growing climbing community in Lusaka.
The project is about learning from each other. We're helping lay foundations so the climbing community in Lusaka can grow in its own way and building connections internationally so more people can experience the benefits of challenge and adventure, helping grassroots sport to grow far beyond the UK.
The project started when Dan, owner of Pa Mitengo, moved to Zambia and set out to build the country's first indoor climbing wall from scratch - much like we did at Mile End Climbing Wall forty years a go.
In 2025, our team traveled to Lusaka to donate climbing holds and equipment, share expertise in route setting and coaching, and help host Zambia's first international climbing competition.
