Descriere: There must be few mountains in the world more alluring than Kilimanjaro.
This snowy summit, floating above the plains of Africa, exudes an
atmosphere of unparalleled remoteness and inaccessibility. The knowledge
that it is far from inaccessible and can be climbed with no technical
problems lures walkers from all over the world, many of them perhaps
tackling their first mountain. It is sad that many fail in the attempt and
perhaps go away with a quite unjustified hatred of mountains thereafter.
The problem of course is altitude.
