A must read for mountaineers and someone looking for a real adventure read.

Really makes you feel you’re on the mountain with them. Brought a lot of nostalgia and I learnt things about kenya I didn’t really know even though having grown up there. I have always been fascinated by Kenya and always will (it runs through my veins), which is why I picked this book up. As a Kenyan looking for adventure, you won’t regret picking this up either.

It was great to see the author praise the tribes that lived on the slopes of Mt Kenya who are formidable in character and beautiful in culture. Also to go as far as mentioning what Mt kenya meant to each one of them.

The bits I thought that carried on was the history on how many Europeans made their mark and the history of how the climb was conquered by various names (this part is for the readers into mountaineering).
