Brother that’s not steamboat Willie

I watched your video before or trek. Thank you. We did the Lomosha route 8 days. Three days lead time helped a lot. We brought excellent sleeping bags and inflatable mats. I asked about food before we left and they may have kicked it up a notch for us because it was amazing. Did not end up taking the Diomox. Did use poles, did use spikes at the top ( after falling twice). The summit night was brutal but we survived. Thanks for the video!

I have been on anthem

The castle like to the Disney ?

Nice ship ,,I was on it 5 years ago

Pompeii was bombed by either the British or Americans in WW2. About 150 bombs fell on Pompeii .... so not everything is old...some of Pompeii is reconstructed after the bombing. Even the Pompeii museum was bombed, with a great lost artifacts. They were trying to bomb a railroad station about a mile away.

Thanks a lot for all this information. It has helped me to gather more information for my personal adventure. Great job! In case someone is interested - I am looking for a hiking partner for the NC up Kilimanjaro. At this moment, I am only by myself, but I would like to open a group tour. The tour company is Nafika Tours. Dec 21 - 29 (9 days). I intentially chose the longest route, so acclimatization has the highest chance. A little about me: Female, 44 years old, vegan, likes to read, gentle soul, fit, adventurous If you're also planning a trip to Kilimanjaro or would like to join, drop me a message, and we can chat more about details! Looking forward to hearing from you!

thanks so much for sharing! doing this next year with my mum super excited

I went Machame route last month. I have a physical job but little training. I watched videos though and prepared clothing . I followed the guide.. did not get clever. I was smart.. when i got to base camp lunchtime i said can we go go for the summit in the afternoon. We left at 1pm.. we was at the summit by 6.30pm and back down by 11pm.. when the other groups were just heading up. Best decision.

Im on there now the weather is crap❤❤

Hey! I have notifications set to ALL but haven't gotten any updates on all these new videos. Now I need to catch up. Dropped in to check up on you all with the hurricane 'cause I'm not on the Book of Face anymore. Hope you two are safe.❤

My wife and I, both 67, are doing the Lemosho route in 2 weeks. Our outfitter is Ultimate Kilimanjaro. We're both in great shape and confidence is high, even though I had surgery in April to repair a torn tendon in the right foot. I'll he using a brace on that foot. We hiked the Salkantay Trail in the Peruvian Andes a few years back, reached 15.2k with no problems.

Thanks for the helpful information.

My mistake was taking up smoking before I did the climb. I smoked about 50 cigarettes a day in the weeks leading up to the hike, in the hope that it would train my lungs to cope with less oxygen. Unfortunately it didn't work and I couldn't quit the week before the climb. I also got really bad bronchitis three days after the summit attempt.

Awesome ❤❤

Thank you for the information, every bit of experience and perspective can be a big help to prospective climbers, it is very much appreciated, and best of luck getting to the top next time!

Star of the seas is coming here next year

Did you try again?

We just got off Kili - a group of 24 women and all of us used trekking poles. I typically don't like poles, but they were great on the mountain. Especially for some support coming off of the summit. One of our guides said that when you hike with poles you get four legs instead of two. It made us chuckle. Sorry you got sick, what a bummer. I hope you get to go back and try again soon.

99% of those people stood to the side until the bulls ran past. 😂😂😂😂😂

Drink a tonne of water, take insulated flasks for summit night, mits not gloves for summit night. Take it slow Read the wim hoff method and stick to it throughout the climb. Put on the oxymeter, do the wim hoff method, then put it back on. Altitude issues gone. Salomen insulated boots and a good warm sock. Perfect. Thrudark insulated jacket, game changer. Summit night is absolutely ruthless no matter how hard you train. All about the mindset

Absolutely brutal summit night. The rest is easy dont underestimate it

I didn’t make it in January. Can’t help getting altitude sickness. Best to keep an eye on any early signs as I had to be evacuated from the final camp after doing an 8 day trip in pouring rain, wading through mud for the majority of the trip. My route was chosen to take it slowly to allow for altitude, but even so, 60% of our group didn’t make it for one reason or another. I’ve been at altitudes as high or higher in the past, with no sickness. But on day 1 I slipped into a driver ants nest and was bitten hundreds of times. I then had an allergic reaction which probably contributed to being more susceptible to altitude sickness.

I’m sorry you didn’t make it to the top. As I’m sure you’re now aware, Kilimanjaro is one of the most underestimated hikes out there, if not the #1. Countless people expect to make the climb, particularly since pictures make it seem so doable (at least much more so than many other famous peaks). However, I can’t tell you how many stories I’ve heard from people, including several very experienced hikers/trekkers, with a story similar to yours. The nausea from altitude sickness certainly isn’t the only reason there are so many failures trying to summit. As you found out, proper hydration & food (especially breakfast, ironically) is huge. And despite the unbelievable efforts of the porters in hauling all the equipment & provisions up the mountain (much like the Sherpas on Everest, they are truly unbelievable), after watching just a couple RUclips videos of different hikes (w/different companies) I found myself questioning if food poisoning was an issue for those eating a lot of the meals provided with their excursion. It didn’t look absolutely horrible, but considering how hard it must be to keep everything clean & unspoiled in those conditions, I’m with you on this. It’s probably best to pack as much of your own food as you think you’ll need instead of depending on their services for every meal. But as to the difficulty of summiting Kilimanjaro… The biggest problem I’ve heard about is from those underestimating the effect the altitude will have on their body. Believe it or not, while it matters what particular trekking route you take & how much time you spend acclimating on that trail, climbing Kilimanjaro is generally seen as a more physically demanding trek than Everest. This is due to the altitude & steepness of the ascent, which is done in a shorter period of time than Everest. In fact, Kilimanjaro’s overall success rate is just over 40%, while Everest’s is just under 90%. While this is a bit misleading as many more people attempt Kilimanjaro, that’s still a pretty telling number of failures. All those attempting to make the trek should be taking Diamox. It’s only available via a prescription in the US. While I’ve seen ads for getting a diagnosis, script, & meds online, I’d stick with visiting your family Dr, PA or NP instead (tho your local Urgent Care facility might write the script, after telling them why you need it, of course). This was the first video of yours that I’ve seen & I just saw where you posted this a couple years ago. In that time, I hope you’ve gone back, or are making plans to go back & make the summit. Regardless, thanks for your honesty here & all the best in your trekking future.

I used to live on Fitzpatrick Lane, near Coleman Vly Rd. As a child, I attended the Elementary School in Occidental in the 60's. Thanks for the tour! Love it.

As a native of Kilimanjaro, Marangu village, I grew up watching hordes of tourists gearing and trekking up. As an acclimated Midwesterner now, having lived in Iowa and Michigan for nearly three decades, its time to go home and it give it a go (via Marangu route)! Thanks for the tips! Karibu tena kaka!

Climbing without hiking poles is not something I would do.

Good of you to share some of the issues you encountered. As you stated, some of these were basic. Any meat on the mountain is bad news and fried chicken is a no no for sure. Trekking food needs to be carb rich...bread, omlettes, soups, potatoes. You can also bring protein bars. but remember you need to carry what you bring. Cheap boots are a terrible idea on the mountain.....one blister can ruin everything. If you spend money on gear, socks and boots need to be your focus area....and break them in before you do the trek. On sleeping bags, its best to rent them. Comfort level 0 to negative 10 should work. You can buy and pack your own liner which is lite weight and adds several degrees of comfort. For drugs, you need to bring a little of everything. Poop, non poop, headache, cold, pepto, band aids, etc. You are 6-10 days with no resources other than what you pack. Lots of great advice on line.....its an easy enough trek with the exception of summit night and the hike down. (BTW - Hiking poles are good for decent) Good luck.

Those are side by sides, sir

Level up! This was really good. I enjoyed all the additional footage you put in, and score. I thoroughly enjoyed this! 💜

Thank you for sharing the lessons you learned...it's helpful and appreciated.

Honestly everyone from North America before hiking a mountain like this should go take a vacation to a high altitude (4500ft-5000ft +) city in the USA like in Colorado, or Wyoming, or Arizona, or New Mexico. Go take a week vacation to one of those places practice running, and do some small mountain / tall hill climbing. If you have any adaption time needed in those places to climatize to higher altitudes to have your typical run times from lower altitudes or you need any meds to do so of any kind then climbing a super sized mountain shouldn't be in your cards.

Your video was great 👍 subscribed. May I ask how much it costed for the tour and how did you book it? I will be there next week.

Magnificent 👍👍👍

I think that that parking area is nearby the one of the two "hippy communes'' near Occidental from the 60's. This one was called Sugarloaf. The other was Gotlieb's, on Graton Road.

Helpful video🎉 Thank you for sharing. What company did you use?

Tysm for sharing dood

Hi! Did you think the Glacier tour was worth it?

People always over train for this walk, it's not a climb, just go slow and rap up, remember it's just a big hill, drink plenty of water and eat, it's very easy to do, my mate did it in his work boots, it's no biggy, just chill out, you not Edmund hillary lol

I successfully summited in 2016 at the age of 49 via the Lemosho Route. I was reasonably fit, but t was hard. I tried to avoid using altitude tablets but ultimately the altitude got me. I got to Stellar Point and turned back. I was shattered and had no energy to go round the crater to Uhuru Point.

It's been years since i went bowling going on the Epic in a few days. How long does a game take? Trying to see if it's worth the money

Did it with my dad August 2023!

Made the summit six months ago with my 39-year-old son I am 67. Took the Lemosho route and had no real problems. All 12 people in my group were able to reach the summit. I think it is doable for most people and you don’t need to be in ridiculous shape. Pace is very slow. Even the last night is not too bad, but it is freezing cold on top. The porters make it all possible.

I got back on Monday, we successfully submitted, you did not say why you failed. AMS?

We did Lemosho Route for 8 days and succeeded. We had good enough food, but was severely unlucky with the weather. Even though january is dry, we had 10-15 hours of rain a day. Apparently getting more common due to climate change. Gaters, wet pants, panchos saves our lives. I had goretex boots, hindsight, I would have had double goretex if I knew of the rain. Also, for a lot of Lemosho you do 100% need poles as you do a lot of downhills too, especially going down from Lava Tower on acclimatizing day and going from Karanga to Barafu. And of course down from summit & to Millennium and to exit. Every single person used poles, that we saw. With the slippery mud rocks and pouring rain, no chance of survival without the poles to balance you. So while I found your video useful, and of course it is your opinions on your channel - I think you only speak for your route, your weather conditions and your situation. We loved the porridge actually as it kept us warm, full but not heavy. Bring some granola to add on top! Ps. Zara Tours was great.

Do you plan on climbing any American volcanoes since you climbed the tallest non American one?
