The Umbwe Route is the shortest, steepest, and most dangerous route. As such it is considered the most difficult route to reach Uhuru Peak.

It is considered a very scenic route with views of forests and spectacular ridges but it is bad for acclimatisation. The altitude effects many climbers on Kilimanjaro.
