Klimgids Kilimanjaro - Summit of Africa pocket Rucksack Readers

Rucksack Readers zijn handig uitgevoerd in een klapper met ringband. Deze gids heeft een goede beschrijving van de lange afstands route met overzichtelijke kaarten doch zonder veel detail.

The author’s advice on preventing altitude sickness is based on medical research, and on her own experience of successful ascents by four different routes, as well as experience of trekking at altitude on four continents.
