Sources seem to conclude that Kilimanjaro is manageable for most committed climbers. I've only done 8-12 hour dayhikes on moderate mountain routes in the Western US. Do you have any specific mountain recommendations for someone looking to begin more serious routes?
We bet you'd PR your trail time if you were outrunning bandits though.... :)
First time we visited Italy with the very nice and respectable wife, we spent half the time swatting away and stiff arming all the conmen (tie a bracelet on you/slide a trinket in your hand and demand $) and pickpocket kids. Can be a big shock for anyone who didn't grow up in places that everyone is out to get you.
After about 25 we lost any interest in adventuring to places we need to be on guard all the time (including domestically).
Hopefully the area gets better in the future so you can hit that mt.

Are you referring to magnesium?
I think you may have omitted the supplement.

How often are you plunging in sound and for how long? Swim?
