Technical Climb Mt Kenya

8 Days

Embark on an exhilarating journey to conquer the majestic peaks of Mt. Kenya in a unique and challenging adventure known as the Technical Climb. This expedition is designed for thrill-seekers and experienced climbers who crave the ultimate test of skill and endurance.

Nestled in the heart of East Africa, Mt. Kenya stands as the second-highest peak on the continent, offering a formidable ascent with technical challenges that demand a high level of expertise. As you ascend through diverse ecosystems, from lush rainforests to alpine meadows, the Technical Climb promises an immersive experience in one of Africa’s most awe-inspiring landscapes.

This expedition is not for the faint of heart; it requires a strong physical condition, mental fortitude, and technical proficiency in mountaineering. Participants will navigate through intricate rock formations, ice fields, and steep pitches, pushing the boundaries of their climbing skills while surrounded by breathtaking vistas.

The journey begins with a thorough orientation and training session, ensuring that each participant is well-prepared for the technical aspects of the climb. Our experienced guides, seasoned in high-altitude mountaineering, will lead the way, providing essential support and sharing their wealth of knowledge about the mountain’s history, geology, and local flora and fauna.

This Technical Climb offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself and reach new heights both physically and mentally. As you ascend towards the summit, the camaraderie among fellow climbers and the sense of accomplishment will forge unforgettable memories.

Overview

We offer private guided ascents of Batian Peak, the true summit of the spectacular Mount Kenya. After the trek in and acclimatization, the technical climb is completed in one long day as a series of up to 21 pitches.  A climb on Mount Kenya and previous experience of outdoor multi-pitch rock climbing is a must for this trip. We provide a technically qualified and experienced guide but the route is committing and long and participants would need to be familiar with leading long runouts, long abseils/rappels and putting in safe protection.
 
The risks associated with the hazards on this climb cannot be entirely removed by our planning or the decision making of the guide. Controlling these risks relies on your own skills and experience as well as those of the guide. Therefore it is important that you fully understand the hazards and are confident that you have the relevant skills and experience to help control the risks.
 
 
 
When to climb
 
The North Face routes on Mount Kenya are usually climbed during the northern hemisphere’s summer (June through to August although September and early October could be a possibility too). As the mountain is on the equator the sun will be slightly to the North of the mountain during these months. This means that there is less snow and ice, making climbing easier, with some sun on you and warmer rock.
 
The rainy seasons in Kenya are usually April, May and October/November. If you would like to climb in the December – March season for climbs of Nelion via the South East Face where it is possible to summit Nelion on the south-east face and Batian via the Gates of Mist.
