Revised edition of the long out-of-print to this scarcely visited mountain
\nrange in East Africa. First explored 100 years ago with first ascents of most
\nif its peaks by Duke of Abruzzi. <\/p>\n
The snow-capped peaks of the Rwenzori straddle the equator in the heart of the
\nAfrican continent; there unique scenery and wildlife are recognised by there
\nstatus as a World Heritage site. They lie along the border between the
\nRepublic of Uganda and the Demorcratic Republic of the Congo, rising some
\n4000m above the level of the Western Rift Valley. Unlike other East African
\nmountains this is a complex of distinct mountains about 110 km long by 50km
\nwide and offers unique possibilities to not only climbers but adventurous
\nwalkers as well. <\/p>\n
Not just a catalogue of route descriptions, includes potted history of Uganda,
\nthe Congo and local Bakonao people.
\nContents: 71 Photographs, 17 Figures, 11 Maps, Walking Access Routes, Mountain
\nRoutes, History, Glaciology, Equipment and Food, Accidents and Illness,
\nPeoples and Organisations, Flora and Fauna
\n2nd Edition. 288 Pages, 11cm.x17cm. size, hardbound. <\/p>\n
1972 erschien der Guide to the Rwenzori zum ersten Mal und war jahrelang
\nvergriffen. Nun, 34 Jahre sp\u00e4ter, folgt die vollst\u00e4ndig aktualisierte zweite
\nAuflage des legend\u00e4ren Buches. Zahlreiche authentische Berichte von Alpinisten
\nsind in die Routenbeschreibungen eingeflossen (wie beispielsweise Reinhold
\nMessners Besteigung des Mount Baker \u00fcber den Nordwest-Grat) und zeigen, wie
\nsich die Gipfel des Rwenzori heute pr\u00e4sentieren und was man bei Bergtouren zu
\nerwarten hat. Erstaunlich, wie sich insbesondere das Ausma\u00df der
\nVergletscherung und damit die Anforderungen an den Bergsteiger ge\u00e4ndert haben.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
