Shipton - Pt Lenana (4985m) - Mt Kenya Bandas (2800m)

You'll kick off at 3:00 am to reach Pt Lenana in time for the African sunrise.
The climb starts on frozen scree and continues on a rocky track with some very minor scrambling. With a good moon, you barely need a torch. Without a moon, then the pollution-free sky bangs on the ground giving you as good a view of the stars as almost anywhere on Earth.
The climb takes 3 -4 hours and to add to the exhilaration, Mt. Kilimanjaro is also visible from the horizon.
You'll descend to Minto's hut for a full breakfast. After a short rest, you'll descend further to Mt Kenya Banda's along the Gorges Valley where you can enjoy good views of the Temple, Lake Michaelson, Mushroom rocks, and a Giant billiards table. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the bandas. You can enjoy log fires, hot showers, and beds at the bandas.
