Double-sided sheet combining three maps of the mountain at various scales, drawings of its peaks annotated with hiking & climbing routes, & information on for hikers & climbers. The main map at 1:50, 000 & an enlargement of the peak area at 1:25, 000 have contours at 50m intervals, show glaciers, scree, cliffs & rocky ridges, as well as different types of vegetation, plus hiking & climbing routes, shelters & unmanned huts, rangers’ posts, etc. Neither map has geographical coordinates. A separate inset at 1:400, 000 shows the roads around Mt Kenya & access to it from local villages, indicating accommodation, medical facilities, petrol stations, etc. Latitude & longitude are marked at 30’ intervals. On the reverse there are diagrams showing the routes to the peaks from the south-west & the north, with more detailed diagrams for the North Face standard route & the south-east face of the Nelion summit, all with path & climbing routes indicating the degree of difficulty. Extensive text in English, French, German & Italian provides general information on the routes, climate, flora & fauna, plus advice on equipment & some useful contact details.
