Mount Kilimanjaro equipment, summit gears

In addition to the general Kilimanjaro packing list gears, we must take care on summit hiking gears such as wind breakers. Mount Kilimanjaro climbing equipment begins with moderate weather gears, but as you ascend up, extreme weather need more specific trekking gears. To begin climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, everybody starts with rain coat, mountain boots, HAT, and moderate temperate clothes. At the Kilimanjaro gates the altitude mostly ranges from 1800m above sea level, and to first camp, also 2900 m. The climate at Kilimanjaro foothil is moderate. Kilimanjaro gate altitude varies between routes, so have a look at Kilimanjaro routes.

Thereafter, as you go up, weather changes as you move from the tropical forest zone to heath, moorland and hence change gears, increase more warm layers, especially night. Then next night we continue ascending Kilimanjaro to the bare rock desert zone, wind a lot of wind. These are days you begin to apply alpine desert and summit gears such as wind breaker jackets,balaclava, goggles, buff and hat. As this is the Alpine desert zone, we expect more cold from glaciers, and Kilimanjaro ice drops. Then last summit hike night heads to the arctic summit zone, where is the highest Kilimanjaro snow peak Kibo dream destination we reach.
