Africa, Tanzania.
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Season: September, December - February (Best time - January)
Information intended for evaluation purposes only. In order to avoid surprises and possible dangers and complications, we recommend to take part in the organized program of the MCS AlexClimb "Climbing in Africa, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro" - by well known route, accompanied by experienced guides. This will significantly increase the probability of success and safety of your climbing in Africa.
It does not make sense to tell long story about climbing routes of Kilimanjaro as to orient yourself on this mountain is very unlikely to be required. The fact is that by the rules of the Kilimanjaro National Park the ascent of Kilimanjaro is prohibited without hiring local guides, quite useless people on the route by which many hundreds of people go up and down every day, but at least the function of orientation on a wide and flat trail these guides perform quite well. Other, more useful rule of the Kilimanjaro National Park regard to compulsory recruitment of the porters - that really facilitates and simplifies the task of climbing Kilimanjaro. Marangu route of Kilimanjaro, the most popular and the shortest of all the Kilimanjaro routes can be done in 5 days. That is, the ascent takes three days the descent and two. There are no technical parts worthy of describing on the Marangu route of Kilimanjaro - that is trekking. Quite long, associated with intense altitude gain, with the need to pre-acclimatization, but still it is not climbing. Wide and gently sloping trail of Kilimanjaro is not interrupted to the Summit. Also there is no necessity of sleepimg in the tents on the Marangu route - the overnights are organized in comfortable mountain huts, booked by local tour operators, through which the entire Kilimanjaro climbing program is organized.
Of the main recommendations one can be especially distinguished - that is need for acclimatization. The fact that an intense altitude gain of 3000 meters in three days, usually causes AMS - mountain sickness, even if you have experience of being on the altitude. To avoid this, it is best before attempting Kilimanjaro to make additional ascent of Mount Meru - the neighboring mountain, or to climb more distant, but interesting in all respects Mount Kenya - it will significantly increase the chances of success of climbing Kilimanjaro.
We wish you good luck and weather!
Our Principles
AlexClimb Rule #1 - Safety First
From the very beginning of our activity, here nearly 16 years, the first Principle of work of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb is the Safety Priority. On the basis of this Principle all process of training is based, all programs and rounds are developed and carried out only within this main principle. We consider that at professional approach to development of programs, at personal discipline and correctly put motivation - occupations by mountaineering and rock-climbing are COMPLETELY safe. And from the return - all troubles and accidents in our sport come from nonprofessionalism, from ignorance or neglect by elementary standards of safety, from irrational motivation, from revaluation of own forces and opportunities. All these prerequisites we COMPLETELY EXCLUDE in our work - ours Rock-climbing, Ice climbing and Mountaineering are based on one Principle - the Safety Priority. In rock-climbing, mountaineering and ice climbing, the Priority of Safety of MCS AlexClimb-is your personal security and comfort irrespective of, than we are engaged - we train muscles and we work technology of the movement in the sports hall and on the rock climbing wall, we make the way through snowstorm to top or we relax on golden sand of the Caribbean beach after hot day of trainings on rocks. The Safety priority - the main credo of School of mountaineering and rock-climbing of MCS AlexClimb.
AlexClimb Rule #2 - Leave No Trace
Closely interacting with Nature, working with the active programs in mountains, woods, lakes and rivers, we perfectly understand the importance of carefull and respectfull bahavior towards the Nature, for its resources. From the very beginning of our outdoor-activity we adopted rules of Leave No Trace technique - the standard of behavior of the person accepted in all the civilized world in relation to environment and especially - to the wild nature. After all on the relation of people to the nature near which they exist, itself can draw dalekoidushchy conclusions on the relation of these people to... Where and as we didn't travel - we don't reserve any garbage, we try to reduce whenever possible our influence on environment to a minimum. We clear earlier zagryazyonny tourist parking of the left garbage, we take out and we take out to utilization places that to us other people left there. We consider that only thus, at personal individual consciousness of each citizen, each tourist, climber or autotraveller, we will be able to keep the nature surrounding us in its state, natural, suitable for life, - in it pledge of the healthy future for ourselves and our children.
