Sirimo Route - Chogoria Route
Sirimon Route
Mount Kenya, at an altitude of 5199 [17058ft] the country's highest
mountain, has its higher slope permanently covered in snow and ice, even
though it sits astride the equator.
The National park comprises the mountain above the 320m [10,500ft] contour
plus two salients astride the Naro moru and the Sirimon routes.
The mountain consist of three peaks the Batian [the highest] Nelion and
Lenana. Of these peaks, the original hard center core is all that remains;
the bulk of the volcano has been eroded away with time.
