#ConquerRwenzoriMountain- Two days to go

We are just forty eight hours away to beginning the journey to western Uganda to start the climb of this treacherous wonder of the world.
Towering at 5109m (over 5 kilometers) towards the sky, Mt. Stanely/ Margherita Peak is the highest point on this treacherous mountain. And that is where yours truly will be in a little under a week. It is getting exciting and chilly, right here. This promises to be an adventue of a lifetime. But lets not spoil it, lets see what is in store.

It is a real equatorial chill at 4000m (4 kilometres). But David is ready for the test and rumble. On this blog, expect live pictures of some of the most beautfiul terrains on earth, the climb itself, debiltating weather.
And ofcourse the willdlife. The park hosts 70 different mammals and 217 bird species.
