The route moves into remote northern slopes with fewer climbers and wide panoramic views. ---

A steady traverse across the northern side of the mountain. ---

Climbers reach base camp (School Hut) and prepare for the summit attempt. ---

Midnight summit push to Uhuru Peak followed by descent to Mweka Camp. ---
