The normal approach is to continue the ascent to the Lenana summit at 2am to reach the Lenana Point after about 4 hours with
sunrise at 6:30am. We are at the third highest point of Mount Kenya, which can be climbed without alpine climbing equipment.
The sunrise is impressive. The breathtaking towers of Batian and Nelion above the Lewis glacier are bathed in golden yellow
light and behind the African savannah you can see the summit of Kilimanjaro 200 km away on a clear day.
After sunrise, then descent to Mackinder’s camp for breakfast, 2 hours and another 4 hours return to the Met station for dinner
