Editorial Reviews
Neville Shulman in the foreword of the book
"If you manage to stand on the roof of Africa, you will experience the kind of exhilaration which comes but rarely in an individual's lifetime. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an intriguing and stimulating book. It should be carried inside a backpack, knapsack, suitcase, or even a jacket pocket and referred to constantly and will save the climber, trekker, or even tourist no end of trouble."

Book Description
Have you ever considered climbing to the top of Africa? Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest point on the continent of Africa at 19,340 feet. But unlike most of the world's highest mountains, Mount Kilimanjaro can be climbed by the "average" person. If you want to learn more about cliimbing Mount Kilimanjaro, then this is the book for you! Carmichael and Stoddard describe the process of planning, preparation, and execution of their Mount Kilimanjaro adventure. Their expertise in the biological sciences gives credence to their recommendations for physical training and their precautions taken to prevent altitude sickness. The book is intended to be a step-by-step guide for training, making arrangements, gearing up, and preparing for potential medical problems, time differences and language barriers. They offer hiking guidelines, mental strategies, and even photography techniques. Their diary of the six-day climb gives a vivid description of how they made it up the mountain and back down.
