4. What do you need to climb Kili?

Well, quite a lot it seems...

The problem is that you pass through all different zones, apparently, each of which brings different conditions. So:
Footwear: trainers for easier walking/flip flops for before, after and getting around camp at night, and big, tough boots for the big, tough days.
Bottoms: shorts, lightweight walking trousers, thermal pants and full on big ski pants
Tops: sports wicking t-shirts, light fleece, waterproof, hoodie, big fat fleece, big fat coat

Extras: underwear, thick socks, bandannas, scarves, three pairs of gloves...that's before we get to all the water bottles, walking poles, sleeping bag, medicines, blister creams, mosquito sprays...

Oh and a giant bag to keep it all in.
