But I think you're underestimating the Sahara desert. Did I mention it's the fucking Sahara desert? Tell me how you find water when sources are 30 km apart, and locating yourself is a fucking disaster seeing as neither GPS nor Galileo satellites bother covering that area, and intense heat distorts signals.
Tell me how you think you should gear yourself for sand and snow, for hot and cold temperatures, you think your body is fine going from -30°C to +45°C in two hours time?
Tell me how you think you can get ready for rain and sandstorms. I should probably mention that sand RAPES everything, like softshells that are sandpapered, and raincoats that are torn to shreds, so you need your additional cotton garments to cover yourself during those storms and your particle masks if you count on breathing. Well, it's not like you can really avoid it, inevitably your nose and throat are covered with fine sand which merges with cells, and if you try to sblow your nose or cough it out, all you'll get is bloody mucus and a severe hemorragia.
Tell me how you deal with the lack of oxygen when there's no wind, as it all comes from Ethiopia some 2000km away, because you're in a desert. Oh, did I mention the Emi Koussi is 3400 meters high? There's very little oxygen up there, and because it's so flat, by the time you have a problem, it's too late to walk down. Oh, and you think there isn't enough snow to cause avalanches either? The wild temperature swings and earthquakes make them very frequent. Yes, earthquakes!
Tell me how you handle that shit for the 230 km walk required to reach the summit, while malaria-diseased mosquitos are attracted by your sweet sweat.
Sure, you can walk to the top. Reaching it is a whole other story. You're seriously underestimating how dangerous a desert can be, and how dangerous a mountain in a desert is.
