Mountaineers lack reliable geographic data for multi-peak climbing routes in East Africa

Climbers planning expeditions involving multiple peaks like Mt. Meru and Kilimanjaro struggle to find accurate information about connecting routes, elevation passes (cols), and optimal trekking paths between mountains. Existing resources are fragmented across outdated guidebooks, forum posts, and incomplete online databases, forcing climbers to piece together route information from unreliable sources before committing time and money to expeditions.
