Kilimanjaro Expedition Dispatches
Berg Adventures International Kilimanjaro Climb
Rongai Route August 21 – August 30, 2009
The Rongai route retains a sense of remote, unspoilt wilderness, and less frequently used route. Chris Gartzen will ascend Kilimanjaro from the northeastern side of the mountain on her way to Uhuru Peak, the highest peak of Africa. This is an exceptionally beautifully route with highlights including the crater rim at Gilman’s Point, and some of the most spectacular walks in the world.
