Mountain Climbing:-Kilimanjaro>6 Days Shira Route

The Western Breach Route via arrow glacier is very steep, rocky and only recommended for very fit and capable climbers. The trek up the western breach can take anything from 6 to 8 hours and requires a degree of physical exertion. If the snow is heavy, icy picks and crampons may be required. However, the reward for the hard work is that one arrives in the crater floor where one sees the incredible glaciers in the crater and also the chance to see the volcanic vent. Descent is via Mweka route which is a descent route. This route can be accommodated on both the Machame or Umbwe routes.
