Amazed authorities now hope they can bring him down from the 17,000-foot _peak on Mount Kenya before he freezes to death. The African was found on the peak last Friday by two British climbers. He told them: he had scaled the _Mousitain to pray to the Kikuyu tribe god En-gai. The British mountaineers said the man, who refused to give his name, was barefoot, without any equipment such as axes or ropes, protected against the cold only by a light jacket and carrying a small bag of food. Phil Snyder, a Californian who is the mountain’s game warden, Monday flew over the mountain’s Nelion peak, just a few feet short of the summit, and confirmed the barefoot climber was still there “apparently dozing on top of the mountain”. “Getting to the top of Nelion is one of the most difficult climbs in the world,” Snyder said. “This may be one of the mest amazing climbs in moun- taineering history.” “I thought it was_ physically impossible to do it barefoot. You need ropes, axes, warm weather clothing, pitons (spikes). This man had nothing.” ' Snyder added, however that the man faces “an even greater impossibility” in making the decent over the snow and ice fields without falling and he sent rescue units to try to locate the man. Kenya’s dominant Kikuyu tribe believe many of their gods reside in the mountain's. peaks, which are snow- capped although the mountain lies virtually on the equator. * a0 community work _— « that setting the fires was ‘a doing.’ ~ The judge commented pretty dangerous thing to be he ~ START THE SCHOOL YEAR OFF RIGHT WITH THE BEST FROM WILLSON 5 aa) ” ° 1: Of! / ’ 10 SPEED BIKE Win one of fifty €.C.M.Deluxe - Corsa-XL 10 Speed Racers. _ Visit your nearest Willson store for details.
