A Beginners guide to climbing mountains in the Rift Valley of East Africa. The most famous of all volcanoes in the Rift Valley of East Africa is Mount Kilimanjaro; but there are a few other high mountains to climb too: these are Mount Meru, Mount Elgon, Mount Hanang and the active volcano, Ol Doinyo Lengai. Although these are non-technical ascents (i.e. not requiring harnesses, ropes, crampons, etc., ), make no mistake; these are real 'climbs' on real mountains and not mere strolls up big hills. This little book gives a Mountain Leader's insight to the climbs and shows inexperienced or first-time climbers what the tour company glossy brochures do not, and helps them properly prepare for what to expect... blow-by-blow, warts and all!
