  1. Why, at the summit of Kilimanjaro, is there a sign saying "World's
    Highest Free Standing Mountain", as appears on the pic on the Outdoors
    Magic site at the moment?

    Could anyone explain this please?

    Thanks

    Well, it is a bit unusual in being such a big lump all on its own.

    Presumably it's because it is not part of a major range like the Alps,
    Himalaya, Andes, Rockies, etc. etc. Everyone needs =something= to brag
    about I guess.
