11 Days Magical Hike To Rwenzori Mountain Ranges: Trekking up the highest point in the Rwenzoris which is Margherita peak is tough and challenging due the melting ice on top and exposed slippery rocks mainly at the final summit day. (the climate change has definitely affected the mountains as well), climbing the Peak is now technical due to the ever-increasing number of crevasses and exposed slippery rocks making the summiting more difficult than what it was before. However; the final ascent to the actual peak is more of a hard scramble than a climb and snowing makes it harder as it is thin ice.
