If you are confident about your physical abilities and you either have considerable experience in high altitudes or you are planning to pre-acclimatize on another mountain, then you may prefer a more challenging and direct summit approach.
In this case, the 6-day Marangu route may be what you are looking for.
If you are very fit, pre-acclimatized or experienced and looking for a more extreme challenge, you could even consider the 5-day Marangu route.
