A group from the Oregon-based Mazamas recently joined one of my climbs up Mt. Kilimanjaro. They spent eight days hiking up the Lemosho route, which enters Kilimanjaro from the west.

Well, typically, and it depends upon each situation, there are assistant guides that walk the person to a lower elevation, depending upon his or her condition. Here is a video of someone with altitude sickness walking down from the summit. As you can see, he doesn’t look too good - but manages to be walking.
