Sirimon Route 5 Days, Day 2: Old Moses Camp (3,300m) - Shiptons Camp (4,200m)

After a hearty breakfast, you start your second day of climbing from Old Moses Camp (3,300m). In seven hours, you cross the Ontulili River, a stretch of moorland and the Liki North Camp, then you go uphill into MacKinders Valley for some panoramic views of the main peaks of Mount Kenya. In the afternoon you arrive at Shiptons Camp, in time for dinner and an overnight in one of the huts. This camp at 4,200 meters is the perfect place for your day of acclimatization on day 3.
