This is a gentle trek that takes 3-4 hrs gaining an elevation of 680m. Day 2: Old Moses- Shipton camp (4200m) Trek up hill, forking right at the junction. After a water break, you continue on the track crossing Ontulili River before turning right contouring through the Moorland and crossing Liki North River and continue uphill to Mackinder’s valley from where there are panoramic views up the valley towards the Shipton camp. This camp is a surreal setting below the towering peaks and glacier. >>>
