A most enjoyable episode on a subject many won’t ever come across. I have previously submitted Kilimanjaro as a client and supported two further treks as a medic. Incredible experiences, very tiring but equally rewarding.
Is it possible to have a look at the WMS Guidelines link please as it’s not working for me. I’m interested in the guideline for routine administration of Diamox. I’m part of a currently postponed trip to Kang Yatse and would appreciate the info.
