Overview
Umbwe climbs steeply and directly up the southern slopes on a forested ridge. It is quiet and dramatic, but gains height quickly, so we only recommend it for fit, experienced hikers. Adding a day helps acclimatisation.
Highlights
- Steep ridge through the forest
- Very few other climbers
- Joins the southern circuit at Barranco
