−	Most people will associate Botswana with the vast flat Kalahari Desert but there are a good number of rock outcrops around the country. Right in the capital Gaborone, there is [[Kgale Hill]] which has a number of cliffs of up to 25m high with several bolted routes as well as trad routes. About 40km to the South is the village of [[Mogonye]] with several promising cliffs which are just being explored. About 60km further South there is a group of hills surrounding a village called [[Otse]]. Other climbing areas include the gorge at [[Kanye]] (90km from Gaborone), the Kobokwe Gorge in Molepolole, and the [[Tswapong Hills]] (250km north of Gaborone) with a number of gorges in it.[[Moshupa and Thamaga]] south of Gaborone offer easily accessible bouldering. There are a surprising number of gorges and outcrops along the Eastern edge of the country, including [[Motlhabaneng]], which the Kalahari Mountain Club has been unearthing over the years.	+	Most people will associate Botswana with the vast flat Kalahari Desert but there are a good number of rock outcrops around the country.
