How fit should I be to go on Moontrail climbing adventures?
Some moon trail adventures require a higher level of physical fitness while others are easier and can be done by most people.
The hikes that take 1 or two days are often easier and you would easily do them with little to no training.
The adventures which go more than 3 days require some more fitness, endurance and preparation. This is because you will likely be gaining a lot of altitude and having longer hiking days – all of which require a bit of preparation.
You should know that these climbing adventures are planned well to go at an easier pace.
The toughest climb in all of Africa is summiting the Rwenzori Mountains of Uganda to the snowcapped Margherita peak. Even this has been successfully done every year by people who are older than 70 years.
