Chogoria Ultra Upsweep

Chogoria Ultra Upsweep is a resilience chase to Mount Kenya Sumit along the Gorges Valley and the Mount Kenya Chogoria Route. If you want to challenge your resilience, this is your ultimate destination to navigate the treacherous ascent to the Mintos camp and the grueling ascent past the Upper Simba Tarn to Point Lenana.

The Chogoria Ultra Upsweep features the Mushroom (mushroom-shaped) rocks, the North Window, and the Temple, all along the Gorges Valley. The temple gives you an aerial view of Lake Michaelson and gives a passage through the Hall Tarns.

The Hike starts at Chogoria Road end and proceeds towards the Gorges Valley and along the ridge to the Mintos Campsite. At the hall tarns, you can take a 5-minute diversion to the Temple to snack as you recharge. It then Proceeds towards Upper Simba Tarn and takes the left-most path towards Harris Tarn. It finally heads straight to Point Lenana, and after a summit moment, we head back down to hit the starting point and drive our way back through the forest before the Lions and Elephants increase their activity.

Beyond what you know you can do is a whole experience towards what you are also capable of doing. Never tame your potential. Let’s go dance during he Chogoria day dash!
