UIAA V; panjat beberapa pitch / multipitch rock climbing

Kai Maluck’s 2017 topo records 215 m of bolted climbing near the Northern Trail from Kimokouwa. This is climbing length, not hiking elevation gain. The historical document establishes neither current protection condition nor trip duration.

Charlie’s Travels describes a rear approach, slope camp, summit and descent to Longido Town. The operator gives roughly 3–4 hours on day one and 7–8 hours on day two; these are itinerary timings rather than GPS measurements. Susan and Wietze’s story in Experiences puts the summit before the overnight stop; agree the sequence with your guide.
