"One of the best mountains ever! Made to Margherita peak in a week trip. Profoundly wilder and otherworldy mountain. Rwenzori Mountains Photo Album: http://dimitriosfan.com/2016/12/30/rwenzori-mountains-ugandacongo-%E2%80%A2photo-album%E2%80%A2/" — DimitriosFan • Mar 22, 2017

"Climbed the Mountains of the Moon (Margherita Peak) July 2016. A true adventure and very hard work. 4 days to get to Elena Hut (Base Camp). Peak day was a 13 hour day to the peak and return to huts below base camp however well worth it. Amazing views into the Congo" — chriswood • Jun 27, 2016

"Jagged Globe expedition to Rwenzori. Central trek (anticlockwise) from Nyakalengija. We all left Elena hut at 06:40. The route goes up a scrambly path to the Elena Glacier. We roped up for the glacier. We ascended the Elena Glacier and then traversed the East Stanley Glacier. At the north end we descended a little to join the Margherita Glacier. We ascended this glacier by going rightwards to avoid a steep ice cliff. We reached the col between Points Alexandra and Margherita. The upper part of Margherita was free of snow. We moved from the col along the top of the glacier, where it met the rock, until reaching a point where a fixed rope hung down the rock. . The rocks were cold and rather slippery. The rock above the fixed rope was much easier. The top of Margherita (5109m), the highest point of Mount Stanley, was reached. I arrived back at the Elena Hut at 15:20 so the round trip took 8 hrs 40 min. Wielochowski(guidebook) gives the Elena Hut - Margherita time as 3 hrs so our time was rather slow - mostly due to the difficult section. Crampons were worn on the glacier. Most of us continued to Kitandara Huts for the night, but two were too tired and spent another night at Elena." — peter43 • Feb 21, 2005

"Jagged Globe expedition to Rwenzori. Central trek (anticlockwise) from Nyakalengija. We left Bujuku Hut at 06:50. We ascended the Stuhlman Pass and near the top took a route NE initially up a shallow gully with a climb up tree roots at the top. There was then a lot of scrambling, some on moss-covered rocks. There was one awkward bit with a strenuous pull-up. The route swung NW, N (with a view of two small lakes) and then E. We then went to the Speke Glacier. Rope and crampons were used. I reached the summit at 11:45, ie Vittorio Emanuele 4890m, the highest point of Mount Speke. Time given by Wielochowski (guidebook) is 5 hrs. We returned by the outward route. I down climbed the awkward bit, although the others abseiled/were lowered. I got back to the hut at 15:20 ie 8 hours 30 mins for the day. Jagged Globe estimate is 10 - 12 hours." — peter43 • Feb 19, 2005
