I’ve never had ITB programs while hiking/walking except when i got ITB flare recently from running.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!

It's crazy to see so many people! My friend and I just summited on the Machame route in November and the mountain was empty. We didn't see another person until at the summit. Other than our guides and porters we only saw 2 or 3 other people the whole time.

It is definitely the season. Also probably affected by COVID?

[@RaGe0rge]

@@TheLegoman Yup, off season + COVID. The guides told me we were the first clients they had in 5 months.

[@FluffetsCave]

We just back from climbing it. Super amazing!

[@TheLegoman]

I'm glad you liked it! Must feel very good!

I don't blame you for turning around. Rocky terrain is HELL on the knees.

Got a dodgy left knee myself and planning to go up on the same route December next year, now I'm a bit worried...

[@TheLegoman]

Be careful! Definitely would recommend getting a knee brace and for sure walking the route with a walking stick. Hopefully your knee would be better by next year

It's a pity you couldn't summit but you took the right decision, better safe than sorry. Which month did you travel there ? The weather looks extra nice!

[@TheLegoman]

I went at the end of December. The plan was to summit on New year's Eve. And be at the top on New year's Day. The weather actually isn't the greatest as you move up. Later months around February would be better weatherwise
