Mount Kenya is a broad,
large symmetrical volcano cone whose diameter at
the base is about 12 km it was formed between 2.6
and 3.1 million years ago by eruptions of successive
layers of volcanic lava and agglomerate from a central
vent in the earth surface. Mount Kenya is climbed
at all times of year if possible however it is best
to try to avoid the two rainy seasons that usually
start in mid March and lasts through till mid June.
As on any high mountain, proper equipment is vital
for a safe and enjoyable climb. Even with porters,
climbers should carry some basic equipment with
them at all times, including rain gear, spare jersey,
water and first aid kit.
High altitude problems are caused through the inability
of the human body to adjust to a through various
forms to the often more fatal pulmonary and cerebral
oedemus (Hape and Hace) the later being less common.
Young males seem to be most badly affected.
