Between 1960 and 1965 Norman Myers led a number of ascents of Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya and in February 1963 he held the record for the fastest ascent of the former. This is based on an email he sent me.

On October 6, 1889, Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller made the first successful climb to the summit of Kibo, the tallest of three volcanic cones atop Kilimanjaro.

It was not until July 29, 1912 that the peak of the second tallest cone, Mawenzi, was reached by German climbers Edward Oehler and Fritz Klute.
