For those aiming at reaching Margherita peak (5,109 meters), continue to the base of the Stanley Glacier. To reach the summit of Margherita, the climb takes about 5-7 hours depending on the weather conditions and the pace of climbing this mountain. This tough walk takes you over three glaciers, slippery rock, ice, and very exposed areas which are open on many sides. Note that this climb is for only physically fit and technical climbers. Climbing on to the glaciers, cross the Stanley Plateau and proceed with the ascent. Acclimatized to fog, altitude sickness, and cool weather, scrambles up to the summit of Margherita the highest peak of the Ruwenzori’s.
Given the high altitude and the tough conditions, it’s common for some people not to reach the pick. Prepare for your return through the Scott-Elliot Pass where there are spectacular views back to Bujuku Lake and Mount Speke, up to Mount Stanley and down to the Kitandara lakes. After the trail that passes you through an alpine zone of sparse vegetation and rough boulders, descend past the Kitandara lakes for dinner and overnight at the Kitandara Hut.
