This route is far more picturesque than Naromoru and is located on the mountain’s dry side, providing some of the best walking experiences. The climb ascends through a forest and onto a broad ridge leading to the summit area. The journey begins on the northwest side of the mountain, close to Nanyuki. Access is convenient, and the bunkhouse facilities are the finest on this side of the mountain.
