The mountain is located in the Guinea Highlandsrange. Data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission revealed that the summit is higher in elevation than the previously quoted 1,380 meters. As of 2024, the elevation is understood to be 1,447 meters.[2][1] The Wuteve or Wologizi ridge, including several other associated peaks, extends for 22 km with spurs of up to 5 km on each side. The slopes are steep, forming cliffs up to 100 m high in places.[3]
Environment
The lower slopes are covered with open forest characterised by Lophira, Pycnanthus, Tarrietia, Albizia, Samanea and Cryptosepalum tree species. With increasing elevation, forest height decreases and the understorey denser. Above 1,000 m the dominant trees—Parinari and Ouratea species—are stunted. The foothills are surrounded by areas of savanna woodland.[3]
