We kick off the program with a one-hour virtual session four days before the first event. The session’s goal is to get acquainted with the team and get a run-through of the program and what to expect. This will include Q&A.

Mount Kipipiri 

Our first hike is a gentle, beautiful, trek to the top of Mount Kipipiri, where our 4.5km walk to the summit takes us to 3,363m ASL.

2025 Dates: May 10 | Oct 04


  Table Mountain

Our second and final prep hike takes us to the brutally steep 6km Table Mountain trail in the Northern Nyandarua moorlands up to 3,792m ASL. Our primary goals in this program are to build up endurance and acclimatize to high elevation, and Table Mountain delightfully delivers both as we set sights on our ultimate goal in a few days.

Mount Kenya 
Sirimon Route

Having put in the work, we finally undertake the pilgrimage to Kenya's highest point reachable by foot. Our route choice is the Sirimon route on a four-day expedition. Our journey starts at the Sirimon Gate, near Nanyuki, with stops at the Old Moses Camp (3,300m) and Shiptons Camp (4,200m), before attempting the ascent to Mt. Kenya Point Lenana (4,985m), where we hope to conquer ourselves.
