Mount
Kenya Climb
Mt. Kenya is a dome-shaped
central volcano. It is the largest mountain in Kenya.
Ten glaciers cover the volcanos peaks. The original crater
on Mt. Kenya was over 20,000 ft (6100 m) high but has
been heavily eroded. Most of this erosion occurred during
two periods when glaciers carved much of the top of the
volcano. These periods wore down the ring-like plug forming
the top of Mt Kenya. In fact, almost 35% of the volcano
has been worn away.
Climbing Mt Kenya is a spectacular walk up the beautiful
Sirimon valley away from the main tourist route on Mount
Kenya. The trek passes through a diverse range of vegetation
and climate zones, from dense forest to tropical cactus
plants to snow covered peaks within a relatively short
distance. No technical climbing is necessary to reach
Point Lenana, the "walking summit" at 16,400
ft. Descending to the base we will relax in a lodge before
returning to Nairobi.

CHOGORIA ROUTE OUT CHOGORIA GATE "EASY PACE"
Mount
Kenya Climb-Chogoria Out Chogoria
This
route Chogoria' has long been considered the most picturesque,
dramatic, and varying route,its the most beautiful of
the access routes to Point Lenana and the best for acclimatization
as the gradient is the easiest. You are more likely to
be the only climbers on this side of the mountain ensuring
a unique wilderness experience. Our guides are specialists
on Mount Kenya, thoroughly knowledgeable in the flora,fauna
and a foreign language
Climbing
Mount Kenya Chogoria out Chogoria
This
itinerary is for the ascent of Pt Lenana, the third peak
of Mt Kenya, at an altitude of 4985 metres. This is not
a technical climb, but a hike. Anyone with a reasonable
level of fitness should be more than capable of completing
the trek provided they approach it in a sensible manner.
The ascent is via the Chogoria Route, on the little used
east side of the mountain.
Day
1
Pick up from hotel at about 0800. It's then about 3 1/2
hours from Nairobi to where we collect the porters and
guides (as required). Into the Mt. Kenya forest for the
22 km drive to the Park Gate at 2,850m. Dependent on road
conditions, these 22 km have been known to take all afternoon
to do and in really wet conditions it is possible that
the top four or five km may be impassable. Night, dependent
on clients wishes, at the Meru Mt. Kenya Banda's or at
roadhead a further 7 km from the Park Gate.
Day 2
After breakfast and sorting of porter loads we set off
up the mountain at a nice and easy pace . A slightly longer
walk via Lake Ellis gives scenic views of Mugi, Ithunguni
and the Giants BilliardsTable, whilst if we follow the
river near roadhead, upstream for about 3 km, the foreground
scenery and flora is particularly beautiful. Lunch by
the stream banks then it's time to cut up the left hand
hillside to our camp at about 3,600m, well away from any
of the more "touristy" areas.
Day 3
From our campsite, we continue to move up through the
moorland zone. As this area of the mountain is still off
the beaten track, there are no paths to follow, and on
each trip we vary the area we walk across. After about
an hour, traverse left and join a ridge (slight path to
follow) and join the normal Chogoria route to Minto's
Hut after about 4 hour walking. Lunch at a small stream
crossing then 45 min on to a camp near Minto's Hut and
next to one of the tarns. Very short afternoon walk over
to superb views across to "The Temple" and down
to Lake Michaelson.
Day
4:
After
pre dawn breakfast leave Mintos Hut for the summit passing
near the Simba Tarn and Harris Tan to Point Lenana which
is appproximately 4 - 5 hours. After the sunrise at 6.30
and nice views of Kilimanjaro and the Coast line descend
back to Mintos for full breakfast and thereafter descend
to Meru Mount Kenya Lodge(Bandas) having our lunch at
the Roadhead. Dinner and overnight at the Bandas.
Day
5: After breakfast walk for 15km downhill through
the denses rain and bamboo forests to connect the 4WD
jeep to Chogoria Town. Then after lunch at chogoria drive
back to Nairobi for your next destination.
