Our Teleki Ultra Upsweep starts at Met Station Bandas and climbs through the Teleki Valley past Mackinder’s Camp and Austrian Hut to Point Lenana. There is an optional climb to the Lewis Glacier, one of the last remaining glaciers that could be extinct in 6 years. This climb helps you enhance your resilience in readiness to challenge tougher trails like the Aberdare Traverses.
