The Northern Route is is the best trail on the mountain for people looking for something really cutting edge and unsual.
Starting for 1 night as a Rongai 5 and ending for 5 nights as a Shira 7B, the middle 2 nights traverse the wild and remote northern face of the mountain on a trail used by only a handful of people each year.
For trekkers confident about their fitness and capable of camping out for long periods without fatigue, this route offers the greatest variation and the best chance of summiting.
North 8p is an eight night private trek which can depart any day 01JUN/25MAR subject to availability and is especially good starting Sat Sun or Mon when traffic on the shared route sections is at its lowest.
