I climbed Nigeria's highest mountain in Taraba State, Nigeria with a small group, created a documentary and marked the summit for future climbers. Was it worth it? Here's the full story!
I am a great fan of your strides Funmi. Chappal waddi came to fore when we did Ado-awaye and the curiousness to do more adventures with you has never waned.
You have made this new hike of interest and will be looking forward to your plans for a group trip.
I trust that you can bring your wealth of experience to bear on the hiccups you had and make it seamless for future hikers.
This is the most interesting thing I’ve read in a very long time.
I like adventure and this seems like such a fun thing to do.
I would really like to climb this some day to have the experience and I hope that Nigeria gets saner so that the traveling experience will not be so scary.
Thank you for sharing Funmi. This was my first time hearing of this mountain, and I commend your courage. I look forward to being this daring. This was a good read by the way!
I climbed a mountain for the first time last year and it was an out of body experience when I reached the summit. This post is amazing because yes, we’ve left our sokotos to look in Sokoto...I hope that adage was clear. This has inspired me to look inwards for more adventures.
I actually heard about Chappal Waddi during my History major in the University, thank you for shedding some light on this mysterious edifice.
I will love to climb it soon😍.
And finally, all I can say is you guys have done the groundbreaking job, it's now our job to promote it globally using your experience to attract loads of tourist enthusiast.👏👏🇳🇬
First I'm learning of the mountain. Thank you and congratulations Funmi. I would definitely love to climb, provided the chopper to service is included.
No I haven’t heard about Chappal Waddi but one thing I know is the North is full of many beautiful places to visit and see. I served in Jos and I only got to hike once(once because when I sent pictures home there was lots of fears about going security). There is a lot of tourists worthy places to visit in the North.
This is really awẹmazing. And your team must be super brave daring what we, the majority, consider almost impossible. Thanks for the awareness about the mountain. Had no idea it exists.
Oh my goodness, I felt so excited and proud reading this. Thank you so much Funmi! That must have been an amazing climb and having the sign mounted up. Woah!
Thank you again for giving this detailed description and letting us know that it is possible for the adventurous souls out there. I'm throwing my hat into the ring as one of the adventurous ones to climb it!
I only know of Chappal Wadi because I did geography in primary school. Also, Abuja's wonderland has a rock climbing game that mentions the name and other important details.
This writeup mehn! I always thought I had what it took to plan a trip but all the things you mentioned, I don't think I could ever be that good.
Yes i want to climb the mountain too 😭 I have some questions about the costs (of where you slept etc).
Welldone Funmi! We in the tourism world are very proud of your works. I will reach out to you in the coming days to discuss how we can make this destination a world attraction and the work we are doing at ATPN towards that. Cheers

I hope to be part of a team of adventure freaks someday. Good work enlightening us about very important information every Nigerian should know.
