Difficulties, risks and death.
Difficulties often happened due to altitude, the high altitude the low oxygen available, and some of the trekkers may suffer acclimatization problem. Overcoming this problem , Machame and Lemosho route are highly recommended, and increasing the number of days to climb also increase the possibility of climbers to summit safely with less observed difficulties. The great risk to avoid is about your health, as the altitude increases the climbers suffer from altitude sickness before they reached the summit and most were ascending too high, too quickly. Signs of sickness include vomiting, headaches, and difficulty sleeping. Researcher said the best way to acclimatize was to climb slowly and some trekkers to incorporate acclimatization rest days. Severe altitude sickness can lead to serious complication, including shortness of breath at rest and inability to walk. The average number of death recorded according to research is 3 to 5 annually.
