This route is the steepest with the shortest and most direct routes to the Southern Glaciers, Western Breach and Uhuru Peak.

While it is flatter, it does not give the climb high sleep low option and therefore recommended to select more days for acclimatisation.

It is a shorter route with a steeper incline and less time for acclimatisation it tends to have a lower summit success rate.

It starts on the Western side of the mountain at the Londorossi Gate, which was introduced as an alternative to the Shira route.

Because it can be done over longer periods and the incline is more manageable it has a much higher success rate of summit.

The route then heads north and circles clockwise from Moir Hut to Buffalo Camp to School Hut, before summiting from the east.
