Mt. Kenya seasons
Posted: Sun May 09, 2010 6:38 am
First, a pre-emptive thanks to any experts on African mountaineering. It seems most questions here have to do with Kiliminjaro, this'll expand the discussion a bit. I'm looking for a little more detail on seasonal weather conditions on Mt. Kenya. My wife and I are free in November and looking to visit Kenya and the technical routes on Nelion and/or Batian. Conventional, readily available summaries of mountain conditions indicate that November is a rainy season, the time of "short rains". So, what does that mean? Is it possible to climb any of the technical routes in between the "short rains"? Or is it a silly idea? Thanks, Jed Porter, Bishop, CA, USA.
