The most walked route on the mountain, and the one with the best acclimatisation profile for the time it takes. Seven days rather than six, because the extra night at Karanga is the difference between summiting and turning back.

Airport pickup, gear check with your lead guide, and a full briefing.
Five to seven hours through rainforest. Wet underfoot most of the year.
Out of the forest into moorland, five to six hours with the first clear summit views.
Seven hours up to 4600m at Lava Tower and back down to sleep low. The hardest day for acclimatisation.
The Barranco Wall in the morning, then a short four-hour day. This is the night that six-day itineraries skip.
Four hours to the summit camp. Early dinner and sleep by seven.
Midnight start, Stella Point at dawn, Uhuru Peak, then down to Millennium. Twelve to fifteen hours on your feet.
Three hours down to Mweka Gate, certificates, and the transfer to JRO.

The Karanga night raises summit success from roughly 64 to 85 percent. We will run six on request but do not recommend it.
Minus 10 to minus 20 Celsius with wind. The kit list is not optional.
