It would be a huge
>help to hear from anyone else who has been there on the summit.
Hi,
I summited Kili via Stella Point(Shira Route) in 2003 in poor weather
(-12 deg C, wind, snow blizzard) . I can't talk for others, but I can
assure you that there was absolutely no way that I could do any
adventuring around :-)
It was so exhausting and uncomfortable (not to mention dangerous) that
DOWN was all I wanted. Even my much fitter friends (one a tri-athlete
and iron man contestant, and two are marathon runners and cyclists)
had a tough time of it.
I don't know your level of experience at altitudes above 5200m, but
unless you have a lot of experience and EXCELLENT guides, don't plan
to do too much. An inexperienced climber would be totally out of their
safety zone wandering about on Kili.
Just my 2c worth...
