Following our recent break away from the MCK tradition of formal Xmas dinners, this year the MCK & Dive Club invite you to a Xmas barbeque lunch Kenyan style. The lunch will be an informal affair and will be at the Dive Club grounds by the pool. Plenty of scope for activities in the pool and plenty of ground for kids to be kids. Don’t forget your swimming gear and appetite!
Where: Nairobi Sailing and Sub-Aqua Club (Dive Club)
When: 13th December 2008 – 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm
Cost: 1,000 per person (includes full meat or vegetarian bbq lunch)
There will be a cash bar.
Tickets available for sale on Tuesday night at the MCK and Wednesday night at the Dive Club. You can also confirm your attendance (latest by Wednesday 9th) by emailing the webmaster.
Tickets will not be available for sale at the door due to planning numbers for catering
Kindly state your preference for vegetarian or not when making your booking

Hi, I am planning to climb the standard winter technical route up Mt Kenya to Nelion and Batian. Are ice axe and crampons ABSOLUTELY necessary? Or will trekking poles instead of axe and yaktrax and microspikes for shoes work? I’m trying to see what angle the glacier is at, how major of a crossing there is and if self arrest could be necessary. And if slight extra traction is needed or heavy duty crampons.
I’s like to hike the mountain in my apprach shoes vs. wear heavy boots that are crampon ready.
Thanks!
