등정들 NE Gully and Ridge의

Bad weather. Rock completely wet. We used the variant described and it was not easy in mountaineering boots.

Practice run with Mr. Martyn, my client. An hour from base to summit.

Took us 7 hours door-to-door from Shipton’s. Scrambled up the gully to the first tat anchors. Hamish led pitch one (very easy, probably could have kept scrambling or simul-climbing), the 2nd pitch was the crux (about 5.7), Hamish led and traversed a little left and then up a crack system to next tat anchor. I led the last pitch which is amazing (and pretty easy) across the ridge up to the summit. Chilled out climb, good for beginners to the alpine world!

Via the direct variation. Nice!

Climbed with Heloise. Three pitches up the North-East Gully. When we go to the steep wall we took a left up to a big boulder. From the boulder we rappelled down to the next gully and climbed to the peak in two pitches.

From the peak we did a mini abseil to the block with lots of tat. Abseiled down the North East Gully and walked down after 3 abseils.

Really nice intro to Mt. Kenya
