Access issues inherited from Kenya

Access in Kenya ranges from very simple (especially in National Parks and Lukenya) to totally impossible.

Please do not pay to climb (outside of National Parks and Lukenya) as you'll ruin access for everyone else.

If you encounter any access issues, please notify the Mountain Club of Kenya so we can monitor and deal with it: https://www.mck.or.ke/contact

About 15 meters from the start of the Outside Corner is a steep narrow face with large holds between two dark grooves. Ascend the face protecting with slings. The face narrows to a pinnacle in about 20 meters, pass to the left avoiding bushes and scramble to a belay seat and rock pinnacle belay. From the belay point ascend slightly left up a scoop with limited protection (crux). Climb direct from scoop to summit about 20 meters from belay. Repel from sling on summit pinnacle using the same route as the ascent.
