Naro Moru route is the quickest way to the base of the mountain and
Pt. Lenana. It is also one of the steepest routes and extra care should
be taken here to avoid problems with AMS. Walking up towards Mackinders
Camp through the Teleki Valley offers superb views of the peaks of Batian
and Nelion. A steep section known as the "vertical bog" is
crossed around midwau to Mackinders Hut and a stopover here is almost
compulsory. The accomodations are good with bunkhouses at Met Station
and Mackinder's Camp.
