"Jagged Globe expedition to Rwenzori. Central trek (anticlockwise) from Nyakalengija. We left Kitandara Huts at 06:40 and arrived at the summit of Point Edward (4843m), highest point of Mount Baker at 10:30. Our route left the trekking route over the Freshfield Pass. Once having left the Freshfield Pass there was much scrambling. There were some cairns, but sometimes these were misleadingly placed. There was one slightly awkward part, not far from the top. The Edward Glacier is much shrunken so there was no need for crampons to be carried, although ice axes were taken just in case they were needed, as were ropes. Neither were needed. Time given by Wielochowski (guidebook) is 5 hrs so we had done well. It was evident that the route taken did not correspond to that of Wielochowski. We returned to the Freshfield Pass the same way and then along the trekking trail to the Guy Yeoman Hut. The descent had been through some magnificent country with excellent views, including Bujongolo and Kambramba caves." — peter43 • Feb 23, 2005
