Thirty experienced climbers from ten states and two foreign countries participated (including five A AC members). In the Ruwenzori range in Uganda four mountains were ascended in extremely unfavorable weather; Mount Mobeius (16,703 feet), Mount Alexander (16,703 feet), Mount‘Speke (16,045 feet) and to within 150 feet of the summit, Mount Margherita (16,763 feet). In Tanzania 23 members ascended Kilimanjaro (19,340 feet) and a party ascended Mawenzie (16,890 feet). In the Mount Kenya massif parties ascended Lenana (16,355 feet), Point Peter (15,600 feet), Dutton (16,024 feet) and to above the Firmin Towers on the north face of Batian. Stormy weather was experienced in these regions for most of the time.
