We descended via the Marangu, a.k.a. "Coca-Cola" Route, which most tourists take to the summit, passing far more climbers than I had seen on the Machame Route. The Marangu Route has huts and stores, but is less scenic. This is the view of Kibo from the saddle between it and Mawenzi, which people climbing the Marangu Route would see on their way to Kibo Hut, their last stop before the climb. Kibo views are limited on the Marangu Route before reaching the saddle. (2/28/97)
