Itinerary description
|
Ascension to the highest peak in Africa along the Lemosho Route, one of the least crowded. Leaving aside the massification of this summit, the crossing is spectacular thanks to the variability of landscapes that can be seen along the entire route (from tropical forest to glaciers, through the alpine desert). The only difficulty of the ascension lies in the height (5,895 mt), which must be taken into account if you want to reach it successfully. It is important to have a good acclimatization but for the rest it is trekking.

Con una buena aclimatacion, la dureza reside solo en la etapa de la coronacion, donde la altura i k te llega abponer a prueba...
