With its summit at 19,340 feet, Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and represents a challenging adventure for any aspiring mountaineer. The harsh environment and coinciding high-altitude puts heightened stress on both a climber and their gear. But with this gear list you will be on the right track in preparing to tackle this impressive peak.
