Chambe Peak, Mountain summit in Mulanje Massif, Malawi

Chambe Peak is a 3,002-metre summit of the Mulanje Massif, not its highest point. A steep path leads to a plateau covered by Mulanje cedar forest, where a hut and farm run by the Forestry Commission stand. The sheer cliff face above is a rock-climbing route.

Chambe Peak's climbing record is kept in the logbook at Chambe Hut, where Chris Bonington wrote up his ascent of the sheer cliff face. The hut and a farm on the plateau are run by the Forestry Commission of Malawi, which maintains the mountain's cedar forest. The Likubula Path has long served as the usual descent from the summit.

The plateau at the top lies within the Mulanje Cedar forest, and the peak also holds a farm and a hut run by the Forestry Commission of Malawi. Climbers record their attempts in the hut's logbook, where Chris Bonington described the sheer cliff face. The Likubula Path is the usual descent.

A steep path leads to the summit, and the Likubula Path is the usual descent; it is rockier and harder to climb than the Chambe route. The ascent to the cliff face requires proper rock climbing equipment. A hut run by the Forestry Commission stands on the plateau, and climbers record their attempts in its logbook.

On clear days the summit reveals views stretching across the southern region all the way to Mozambique. The Likubula Path shapes the route with its technical rock passages and narrow climbing sections.
