What does the best high altitude rock climbing route looks like?

Come climb Batian Peak, the true summit of Mount Kenya at 5,199 meters. The climb covers approximately 20 pitches of solid rock, offering excellent holds and friction. The crux is rated at F6a (E1, 5.10), with the majority of the climb at F5a (S, 5.7).

Each year, around 50 climbers successfully summit Batian, and we’ve guided many of them to this achievement.

At Wilderness Alternative Expedition, ethical practices have been at the heart of everything we do for all the years we have been in operation. We firmly believe that adventure is about more than just exploring beutuful places it’s about uplifting the people who make these journeys possible.

Porters are the backbone of every Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro treks we do. Their tireless work ensures our clients experience adventures they’ll alway s cherish forever. That’s why, even as a small company, we proudly pay some of the highest wages in the industry. We’ve seen firsthand how this changes lives, porters becoming guides, guides starting their own companies, and families thriving because of fair opportunities. Contrary to popular belief, nothing makes us happier than seeing those who work with us grow, succeed, and turn their lives around.

We may not be the cheapest travel company, and we don’t aspire to be. What sets us apart is our commitment to client comfort, even in the most rugged wilderness. Where others see limitations, we find ways to include touches of luxury. Our clients often tell us how different our campsites look more refined, more welcoming, and more thoughtful.

As a proudly Kenyan owned company, we’ve stayed true to our roots while continually striving to be better every day. From ethical practices to unique experiences, we are dedicated to making your adventure unforgettable for you and for the people who make it possible.
