Overview
The Umbwe route climbs steeply from the south through forest, then joins the Machame route near Barranco. It is the shortest and most direct way to the high camps.
Because you gain height quickly, there is less time to acclimatise. It is not recommended for first-time climbers.
Highlights
- Short and direct
- Steep forest section
- Few trekkers on the lower path
Who it suits
