I walked 800km across Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro

  • Aren't you afraid of hiking alone through rural Tanzania?
    This is the question I got over and over again a month before departing. My goal was to summit Kilimanjaro from sea to sea.
    Hiking from the Indian Ocean to climb Mount Kilimanjaro was probably one of the most challenging things I've ever done.
    The heat, blisters and long distances wore me down even from before I got to the town of Moshi.
    It took 12 days to even get to the start of Umbwe Gate, the start of the Umbwe route.
    When I arrived I wasn't in any state to climb the highest freestanding mountain in the world, but this is exactly what I wanted when I set this goal - a next level challenge.
    This crazy journey is the second of 7.
    My end goal is to climb each continent's highest mountain (the 7 Summits) from sea level, and back to sea level.

    Although this journey is mostly about those seven summits, I enjoy to see these mezmerizing countries through your eyes no less.
    I love the no fancy bullsh1t approach of the things too. I wish you all the luck and strength for the upcoming peaks, and already can't wait for your next upload 😉
    Carry on, Cris!

    You're a legend mate, I love this adventure of yours. Hiking 40 km day after day in the African heat, that's actually insane. You're a huge inspiration to us regular guys who dream of the big mountains too. In a few days I'll try to hike to above 2000 meters for the first time, 20 km and 1000 meters of altitude. "It's not about being positive, it's about getting it done", I'll try to remember that haha

    A lil’ tip about blisters...if you use a needle & thread to lance through & then leave the thread running through it & cover with a bit of surgical tape, it will fully drain & not seal-up & refill again. Once fully dry just pull out the thread.
    I used to wear NB Heirro’s as my trail shoes along with Darn Tough socks, but having now switched to Topo Athletic & only wear Injinji socks, it’s been a game changer.

    You need to wear toe socks - they help tremendously with rubbing and sweaty toes. Also, try wider barefoot style shoes like Altra or Vivobarefoot. A foot conversation is a whole body conversation!
