Africa, Tanzania.
Climbing Mount Meru. 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 Meru" - by well known route, accompanied by experienced guides. This will significantly increase the probability of success and safety of your climbing in Africa.
Climbing route to the summit of Mount Meru is equipped for the safe and comfortable ascent. As well as in Kilimanjaro National Park, in National Park of Mount Meru there is a restriction on an independent travel within the limits of National Park, in addition to the mandatory hiring a local guide and porters, in Mount Meru National Park there is necessary to pay an armed employee of the National Park - that is considered that it is necessary in order to protect tourists from aggressive wild animals. It is really doubtful that this poor guy with an antique rifle of 1895 release and the only one bullet could withstand any threat of local fauna. Fortunately the animals that inhabit the forests at the base of Mount Meru are not aggressive.
Completing the Mount Meru route is possible in two or three days, the altitude gain is by its intencity probably is even more difficult than climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, although the Summit of Mount Meru is lower more than a kilometer than its famous neighbor. The upper part of the route of Mount Meru traverses gigantic ancient crater, in some places you have to deal with a real rockclimbing - a few sections of the route could be described as not easy walking to pass. Particular caution should be exercised in case of rain or snow when the surface of the rocks becomes very slippery. As a rule, the organization of stationary belay is not very popeular on the Mount Meru Route.
Climbing Mount Meru - a great variant of acclimatization before climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and in addition, the opportunity to look at Mount Kilimanjaro from the perfect view point - there is no other high mountain in the vicinity of Mount Kilimanjaro!
We wish you good luck and good 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.
