This route is more picturesque than Naromoru and is located on the mountain’s dry side, providing excellent walking opportunities. The climb ascends through a forest and leads to a broad ridge that approaches the summit area. The journey begins on the mountain’s northwest side, close to Nanyuki. Access is convenient, and the bunkhouse facilities are the finest on this side of the mountain.
