A lot of preparation goes into planning climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. For the individual climber pre-climb activity includes regular training to prepare for the rigour of hiking up Africa's highest mountain and the World's highest free standing mountain.
One important activity is to use the hiking boots one will wear during the climb
prior to the climb. These pair of boots have taken me up to the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro a few times, but remain in storage between climbs.
This time, for the first time, I have worn them around to soften the leather for my next climb, the June 3 to 9 climb in aid of
Nyegina Secondary School's library and teachers' documentation center.
They probably need some cleaning up also.
