Mount Kenya Climbing
Climbing Mount Kenya is a challenge requiring
extensive mountain climbing skills. To climb to the highest peaks-Batian
and Nelion, one requires ropes, ice-axes and other specialized climbing
gear. The two peaks can be attempted by experienced climbers. Non-experienced
climbers have managed to reach point Lenana 4,970 meters ( 16,300ft) commonly
called the "Tourist Peak". Nevertheless, most visitors are able
to reach the more accessible Point Lenana at 4985m and many visitors enjoy
the simple high altitude walks.
