さて、今日からいよいよ登山開始である。ロッジで朝食を摂った後「シモ」というキリマンジャロがきれいに見える市街地を経由して登山口に向う。途中「キリマンジャロ空港」があった。ナイロビから直接ここに来れなかったのだろうか...などと邪推してしまった。直接ここに来て登山開始ではあの、すばらしいサファリは体験できなかっただろう。出発以前は俺はK氏に「サファリなんかどうでもいいよ。さっさとキリマンジャロに登って帰る最短期間の安いコースにしようぜ！」と言ったが彼はそれだけは譲らなかった。で、結局（○x十万）高い「ゆったりサファリ付コース」に申し込んだ。が、これは今思えばK氏に本当に感謝している。今思えば、サファリはキリマンジャロ登山と同じくらい貴重で楽しい体験であった。
シモの町でトイレ休憩もそこそこに、意外と早い時間にキリマンジャロの登山口である「マラングゲート」に到着した。さあ、これからいよいよ登山だ！と異様に重い60Lザックを背負い歩きはじめると、リーダーから、今回の登山の現地ガイド約の紹介があった。現地リーダ・「ファスティナ」、サブリーダー・「ミンジャ」、あと一人忘れた...これからキリマンジャロを下山するまでは我らのツアーリーダ「Ｆ氏」よりも彼らの指示が優先される。ファスティナは1000回以上もキリマンジャロの頂を踏んでいる男である。「F氏」はその時は10回目といっていたが、それまでに既に8000m峰の頂上を踏んでいる方である。登山家としての力量は「F氏」の方が勝っていると思うのだが、キリマンジャロを登る際には必ず現地ガイドを雇うことをタンザニア政府は義務付けている。表向きの目的は「遭難事故防止」であるが真の目的は「外貨獲得」であると思う。
登山開始の標高は約1800m我々リーダの「F氏」を含めて10名のパーティに同行する現地のスタッフは約30名位いたと思う。なんでこんなに...とは思ったがこの後なるほどこりゃ大変だ...と実感することになる。
登山口で缶ビールが売っていた多分リーダーを除けば最強のクライマーであろう「原○氏」が缶ビール６本セット＋１本を購入し１本はその場で飲み始め、残りの６本はザックにしまいこんだ。
その後、貴重品と携帯食だけ自分のサブザックに移し、メインの重いザックはその現地ガイドのメンバーが荷揚げすることになる。ザックの重さは15kgまでという制約があったと思うが、俺のザックは一部の荷物をサブザックに移したとはいえ、20kgはあった。まぁ、屈強な現地スタッフが荷揚げするのだろうと安心していたが、そのクソ重いザックを荷揚げしていたのは中学生くらいの男の子である。しかも背負わずに頭に乗せて片手で抑えて難なくヒョイヒョイと担ぎ上げている姿には言葉を失った。靴だって俺たちが履いているような堅牢な登山靴なんかではない。厚さは家庭内のスリッパ程度で一応かかとのあるシューズみたいな粗末なものだ...恐れいった。初日の行程は短く４～５時間の行程である。出だしは非常になだらか、荷物も現地のポータさんたちのお陰で軽い！
ただし、下りの人々の顔色は冴えない、登頂できなかったのか？または疲労困憊の顔色なのか？帰りはきっとあんな風になって返ってくるのだろう６日後この道を...ここからキリマンジャロ頂上までの道のりは100kmを超える標高差にして約4000m期待半分、不安半分の大名登山は始まった...
By the way, it is finally a mountain climbing start from today. I go to the starting point of a mountain climb via the city area where Kilimanjaro called back "Shimo" who consumed breakfast in a lodge is seen neatly. There was "Kilimanjaro Airport" on the way. May not you come to direct here from Nairobi?... I have suspected and so on without reason. I came to direct here, and ed that, the splendid safari may not have an experience by the mountain climbing start. Before the departure I to Mr. K "safari does not matter". I will do it in the cheap course of the shortest period when the up returns to Kilimanjaro quickly! I said ", but he did not hand over only it. Well, I proposed it to the high "relaxedly course belonging to safari" after all (ん 100,000). But, this really thanks Mr. K if I think now. It was the experience that the safari was precious almost as same as Kilimanjaro mountain climbing, and was pleasant now if it thought. The restroom break came in "" which was a starting point of a mountain climb of Kilimanjaro unexpectedly there there in a town of Shimo in early time. OK, it is finally mountain climbing from now on! When I carried the 60L rucksack that と was heavy strangely on my back and began to walk, from a leader, there was the local guide about の introduction of this mountain climbing. I forgot local leader / "Fass Tina", subleader / "Minja", one more... Their instructions are given priority to over leader our tour "Mr. F" from now on till I descend Kilimanjaro. Fass Tina is a man setting foot on the top of Kilimanjaro more than 1,000 times. "Mr. F" said the tenth then, but it is so already the 8,000m peak stepping on top. The ability as the mountaineer thinks that "Mr. F" wins, but the Tanzania government obliges it to employing a local guide by all means when I climb Kilimanjaro. The official purpose is "prevention of accident accident", but thinks the true purpose to be "foreign currency acquisition". About 1,800m meters above the sea level of the mountain climbing start thinks that there was about around 30 local staff joining ten parties including "Mr. F" of the leader us. "Mr. whom probably would be the strongest climber except a leader whom can beer sold in a starting point of a mountain climb original ○" purchased six can beer set +1s and began to drink the one on the spot, and remaining 6 put it away in a rucksack. I move only valuables and the mobile appetite to one's mini rucksack, and the member of the local guide will unload the main heavy rucksack afterwards. The weight of the rucksack thought that there was limitation to 15kg, but, as for my rucksack, there were 20kg although I moved some loads to a mini rucksack. Oh, a robust national staff was relieved to unload it, but it is a boy of a junior high student to have unloaded the ridiculously heavy rucksack. I was in tune with a head without carrying it on its back and controlled it with one hand and was speechless at easy and the figure which I raised without a difficulty, besides. Even shoes are not the solid mountain climbing shoes which we wear. The thickness is a poor thing such as the shoes with the heel at slippers degree in the home for the time being... I was impressed. A trip of the first day is a trip of four or five hours briefly. The start is very gentle, and the load is light on the coattails of local porters, too! But the complexion of downhill people is not improved; was not able to reach the summit? Or is it the complexion of the fatigue? Six days that surely the return becomes like that, and will return later this way... I made the distance from here to the Kilimanjaro top a meters above the sea level difference more than 100km, and half of about 4,000m expectation, half uneasy daimyo mountain climbing began...
