'Kenya Mountain' or 'Mt. Kenya' is a formidable volcanic outcrop, the second highest mountain in Africa after 'Kilmanjaro'. It is widely regarded as the more difficult to climb in view of the greater number of glaciers, crevasses & steep-sided valleys that confront aspirant climbers.. (The success rate of reaching the summit for Mt Kenya is 60% while for Kilmanjaro it is 70-80%). This book not only offers a detailed account of the challenges of climbing it but a comprehensive topographical description that places it in the broader Kenyan context.
