Does anybody know if there are any relatively easy sites to jump on Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa?

It is a very old volcano. Volcanos generally don't have steep sides so I don't think so.

Elbrus old volcano too. But:

was just wondering, thanks for the input!

Nada

Volcanos generally don't have steep sides so I don't think so.

Mount Kenya is an old volcano too but has some eroded cliffs as twin summits Batian and Nelian. (Jumps, anyone?) So, it mostly depends on the amount of erosion.

If you know Cable Dave ask him. He has a lot of jumps in Africa, from what I understand.

thanks for the info. i dont know him. i didnt think there would be any exits on the volcano but it doesnt hurt to ask

Never been there, but based on google earth research, the only place that might have an exit would be the cliffs above the western breach. Probably not the easy exit you're looking for though.

go to ethipia mate...if ya wanna see exits check out The planet earth series on mountains...it release plenty of what ya want...

Ethiopia, Simien mountains. Virgin territory. I think.

SURREAL !!!

If any one visits East Africa please come via Kenya there's plenty of space in my house.

careful if you stay with john, he might make you carry his rig to exit points... :)

yeah, I heard that... I told him that his ultralight rig would be great. Easier on the back when he's wearing it on the elevator ride up those nairobi buildings we were jumping.... heh heh

Called it!
