DO YOU KNOW! TODAY IS. THE MEMORY FOR THE FIRST PERSON CLIMBED KILIMANJARO 6TH OCTOBER
Hello my name is medi
im the mountain guide for more than ten years now.Mountain Kilimanjaro
have more than smtories that are more interesting but when i remember
this date when Yonna lauwo (first guide) who climbed Kilimanjaro with
hans mayor as his locàl guide, by saying his local guide doesn't mean
he climbed and reach the top before.The were also two local headmen,
nine porters, three other locals who would act as supervisors, one cook
and one guide supplied by the local who supplied by chief mariale. These
men would help to carry the equipment and man the camps, ATTEMPT THE
SUMMIT.
However, on his third attempt, in 1889, Meyer finally became
the first person to climb Kilimanjaro. Though no doubt a skillful and
determined climber, Meyer’s success can largely be attributed to his
recognition that the biggest obstacle to a successful assault was the
lack of food available at the top. Meyer solved this by establishing
camps at various points along the route that he had chosen for his
attempt, including one at 12,980ft (3894m; Abbott’s camp); one, Kibo
camp, ‘by a conspicuous rock’ at 14,210ft (4263m); and, finally, a small
encampment by a lava cave and just below the glacier line at 15,260ft
(4578m).
