      "Climbed Mount Kenya through some fair weather days. Unbelievable views of the African plains and peaks all around. Had unfortunately tp turn back a couple of pitches before Nelion due to nightfall during the climb. Took some 30 continues hours of trekking and climbing without sleep from the upper hut up and back.

      "I met the great great grandson of Masaku. The region is called machakos after Masaku, who was a kamba chief. The history of Machakos Town dates back to 1889 when the Imperial British East Africa Company (IBEA), the predecessor of the British Colonial Authority in Kenya established their first upcountry capital and centre of operation in Machakos Town. The Whiteman named Machakos Town after the leader/chief Masaku who welcomed them to Machakos." — Alexander-veronicah-Munyao • Nov 15, 2012
      "We hiked for Hiking Heights for Higher Education, an awareness initiative for the Ignite Excellence Foundation. We also celebrated my wife's 45th Birthday at the summit, complete with cake & champagne after a grueling 4 1/2 hr hike from McKinders Camp in cold, windy but very clear conditions. We had to hike thru a forest fire(s) which passed just 15 minutes above us on day two. Kind of scary but a really neat experience." — MichaelGingerich • Mar 16, 2012
      "Started at Sirimon Gate late after a problematic start with a broken alternator and gastro illness. Spent the night at first camp and headed up Mackinder Valley to Shipton's Camp, where we spent the second night. Left at 3AM to hike up to Pt. Lenana in order to see the sunrise. The 19 degree temperature on the equator was fun and made the climb up the scree easier before the sun rose. Hardest physical challenge I've done." — srphilip • Feb 9, 2003
      "Expedition to Kenya and Tanzania with Rhona Fraser, Robin Howie, Geraldine Howie, Janet Lambert (all fellow members of the Cairngorm Club). We engaged the help of John Temple for Mount Kenya. We used the Chogoria approach route to get to the Austrian Hut. John and I had reached the hut the night before and met there Gordon and Robert, two lads from England. We agreed to climb together so we had two ropes of two. In the cold light of early morning (around 07:00), we left the hut and crossed the Lewis Glacier and went up the screes to the base of the cliffs, the South-East Face of Nelion. It wasn’t as steep as it seemed from afar and we climbed some of the early pitches unroped. We climbed up easily to a broad ledge, traversed left, up a gully, a long traverse right ending round a corner at III-. Then there’s a choice – Mackinder’s chimney or the Rabbit Hole or a crack up a steep wall at IV-. The first had hard moves high up. The Rabbit Hole is awkward with a rucksack, also high up. We used the crack – delightful climbing on small holds which I enjoyed. By now the rock was warm. Above there were several more pitches to reach the ridge and a sensational view down the south face.
