Chogoria Ultra Campout is a lighter version of our Chogoria Ultra Upsweep allowing you more hours to attempt the Mount Kenya Day Dash. Our Chogoria Ultra Campout will see you through the most scenic and hydrotherapeutic Mount Kenya Chogoria Route to Point Lenana.
This is the shortest of the ultra series on Mount Kirinyaga but offers a similar challenge. The summit push is a notable challenging section on this climb and requires both mental and physical resilience to conquer.
The Temple is a notable detour on this hike to catch a view of Lake Michaelson before heading for the summit push. Keep working out, then come challenge your resilience. Camp and then start a hike super early to increase your chances of summiting.
