Teleki Ultra Campout
Code: TUC
Description
Teleki Ultra Campout is a lighter version of our Teleki Ultra Upsweep allowing you moe hours to attempt the Mount Kenya Day Dash. Our Teleki Ultra Campout will see you through the most challenging ascent up the famous Teleki Valley, Mackinders Camp, Lewis Tarn, Austrian Hut, Lewis Glacier, and lastly, Point Lenana. The Vertical bog and the ascent past the ranger’s camp are notable challenges on this ascent that will require rigorous preparation to see you through.
The hike starts super early at the Met Station and quickly proceeds through the concrete road to Met Station, then goes through the vertical bog to Teleki Valley and Mackinder’s Camp. Past the Mackinder’s camp, we proceed to the notoriously steep ascent towards Austrian Hut, which marks the second phase and lastly via Ferrata (Iron Cable) to Point Lenana.
The mountain never moves, it’s you who does. Keep moving. If you can’t sit atop the rocks at Point Lenana, touch the Lewis Glacier.
