Mount Kenya (Sirimon–Chogoria)

Curated schematic from named OpenStreetMap nodes (ODbL). The line is pin-to-pin, not a walking path. 2-D length is labelled schematic — not walking distance. Ascent, descent, and high/low points are Copernicus GLO-30 samples at those vertices only (copernicus-dem:glo-30) and remain provisional. Water, permits, and hazards were not taken from OSM tags and must be verified.

No single connected Sirimon–Chogoria hiking relation resolved on 2026-09-11. OSM holds separate hiking relations Sirimon (416424) and Chogoria (416423); they were not stitched. Geometry is an ordered pin-to-pin line through OSM-resolved named nodes: Old Moses Camp → Shipton's Camp → Point Lenana → Chogoria Gate. 2-D length 26.6 km is schematic — not walking distance. Operator figures of ~80 km and ~97 km disagree; both are Unverified cross-checks, not this figure — the disagreement is shown, not silently picked. osmRelationId is unset. Never graduate to verified without a single connected OSM hiking relation.

Sirimon Gate did not resolve as a named OSM node and was not used; the schematic starts at Old Moses Camp (Sirimon hut). Chogoria Gate is OSM node 4788310740 (not building way 486117658).

typicalDays 6 is the published typical 5–6 day window, not a figure. Drier January–February and August–September windows are widely described; they were not copied from a KWS statute this pass.

GLO-30 high 4,949 m is 36 m under the commonly cited Point Lenana ~4,985 m on a 4-vertex sample, not a walking profile. High point left as Copernicus, not overwritten. Cumulative DEM ascent 1,564 m / descent 1,961 m is an under-count versus published walking gain; do not treat it as that figure.

Water was not mapped to named WaterSource points (no honest atFraction). Huts exist on published descriptions; they were not positioned from an official named list this pass.
