Reaching Point Lenana, the third-highest summit of Mount Kenya at 4,985 meters above sea level, is our ultimate objective—becoming the best version of ourselves. The Chogoria Gate is the starting and finishing point of the 4-day journey along the Mt. Kenya Chogoria Route. We’re going to explore some of Mt.
