Mount Kenya is the second highest peak in Africa at 5,199m and is an ancient, extinct volcano. During this height of its activity (3.1–2.6 million years ago), it is thought to have risen to a height of 6,500m. There are 12 remnant glaciers on the top of the mount, all receding rapidly, and four secondary peaks that sit at the head of the u-shaped glacial valleys. This climbing tour takes you to three peaks: Batian [the highest], Nelion and Lenana.
