Via Ferrata Olonana — Point Lenana

The shortness of the cable prevents a maximum score, but a ferrata passage at 4,985 metres after several days of trekking deserves its place in the ranking.

Mount Kenya at almost 5,000 metres

A brief cable passage after several days of approach.

This selection contains one Kenyan experience: Olonana on Mount Kenya. It is a starting point for researching that mountain journey, not a complete directory of every cable route in the country. The short equipped section is only one part of an approach lasting several days, so cable length alone is a poor way to judge the commitment. Read the profile for the documented setting and sources, then ask the local operator about the complete itinerary, altitude preparation, access and current conditions. For a comparison based on setting, explore the summit category; its editorial scores do not compare difficulty or establish whether two climbs suit the same person.
