Mount Longonot climb

We did a test climb up mount Longonot. It was quite steep and very hot. I still felt that I did OK. We were to bring the backpacks we're bringing to Mount Kenya, so we could try the out. I was told that I had the weight to far up on my shoulders, but felt OK. I'm told different things by different people. My taekwondo trainer, who climbs mount Kenya every year, says I should keep the weight high, so I think I will trust him! I did OK on the way up and ran back down. Mount Kenya will be harder, with walks all day, but not as steep. I'm looking forward to try it!
