this is the gorgeous mountain which is soon to lose its snow cap. i wanted to climb it, but kept going back and forth because of the extreme financial commitment. i wasn't as concerned about the physical stamina commitment, though i know it would have been extreme as well. climbing kili costs $900 at the cheapest and then you have to tip the porters. most of it is park fees, which go to support the corrupt government of tanzania's continued luxury living. several my good friends climbed it and had a drenched but wonderful experience. i do wish i'd had the experience. but, of course, since it has no gorgeous sheer rock face, its slightly more passuppable.
