This was a supremely difficult hike. 75% of it is steep, sometimes so steep that there were "ladders" nailed into the climbing areas which were really not much more than sticks nailed together. The hike takes you up all 3 peaks reaching the top of the highest peak after about 5.5 hours. It's about 4.5 hours to get back down. If you plan to make this hike, train for it first. It's difficult and at high altitude so oxygen is rare. The terrain and views from the top where you stand in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo at the same time are incredible. Make this hike but train for it first.
