Crampons or micro spikes on Kilimanjaro? Here are some other things to consider when choosing between crampons and microspikes on Kilimanjaro: Micro spikes would work well on lower angled terrain, or even soft/lean winter conditions like on the Kibo Peak on Kilimanjaro where the trail is usually marked. There is no substitute for full mountaineering crampons on steeper terrain (technical approach routes: most of the Mawenzi Peaks un-marked paths, even the Western Breach approach at times) or in more substantial winter conditions. Also don’t underestimate the usefulness of sturdy stiff soled and square edged boots, sometimes marketed as winter boots as these fit well with crampons. TIP: A walking ice axe (not too long) in collaboration with crampons would be my first priority especially if tackling the Western Breach approach or Mawenzi Peak summit attempt during substantial winter conditions. There is no definitive answer you will need the right equipment for the prevailing conditions and they can change with the weather / with the elevation / with the time… Also especially consider any technical approach routes during substantial winter conditions. Experience is a great thing as ever and our team whom gets out regularly usually checks the weather forecast along with the conditions on the mountain and would make a recommendation to our clients when required. Sometimes when experiencing slush then mixed snow and ice to reasonable snow up to the top during the summit push, some people don’t use any additions to their boots and are 100% fine however, it is recommended micro spikes especially for the descent from the summit to base camp for they provide more confident foot placement which in turn can lead to a consistent descent… Depending on which peak on Kilimanjaro you are climbing and the conditions or technical approach to the route, will determine what you need. Micro spikes weigh nothing compared to crampons and even the cheaper ones work just as
