The climb itself was not the hardest but the descent was amongst the toughest when I twisted my ankle and had to be carried down from 15, try<\/a> 000&#8242;.<\/p>\n<p>In my normal manner for all my climbs I have added a few pages to my site to document the expedition:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/7summits\/kilimanjaro2011.php\">Kilimanjaro 2011 Trip Report with videos<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/7summits\/kilimanjarofaq.php\">Kilimanjaro FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/images\/Mt Kilimanjaro\/index.htm\">Kilimanjaro and Serengeti Photo Gallery<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In spite of the last few hours of difficulty, the overall climb was good albeit a bit rainy and cloudy for over half of it. But on summit night, it cleared and all 14 of our IMG team made the summit; 100% success.<\/p>\n<p>Kilimanjaro is known as a walk-up trek or hike. Climbers ofter diss it as easy, not a challenge. While the trails are well groomed (or worn) and porters carry everything, there are a few parts that provide challenges for climbers of all skills.<\/p>\n<p>The climb up the Barranco Wall given the low clouds, mist and wet conditions was fun and provided a good taste of rock scrambling for everyone. But it is the altitude on Kilimanjaro that people often underestimate. At 19,340&#8242;; it is higher than any mountain in North America or Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n<p>This is an altitude where serious AMS, HAPE and HACE can easily occur. I personally saw several people struggling and some wisely turned back. So when we had 100% success for our team where 12 of our 14 members had never been above 14,000&#8242;; it was gratifying to join them.<\/p>\n<p>My ankle injury was so unexpected that even today, almost two weeks later, I cannot believe what happened. I detail the injury and the evacuation in the trip report. Again, my deep thanks to Eben Reckord of IMG, the lead local guide and porters on my rescue; Andrew and Mosha, the staff at the Moshi hospital and finally, my teammates for their help and support.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing about my trip to Africa, the safari. It was beyond my expectations how exciting it was. We flew to the Serengeti and then drove back to Arusha visiting the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater National Parks. The variety and abundance of wildlife was beyond understanding.
