Could you share discussion group Link i don't find it on Facebook. Some more questions to learn
Thank you for the information! Looking forward to booking!
We look forward to having you.
Has anyone ever tried to climb a mountain with an astronaut suit?
For fun? Presumably, it would be hard to move and it'd be really hot.
@@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro Yes but a suit made for mount Everest... Maybe they can make it flexible, light weight, and durable too
Thanks for the information sir
You're welcome
I have a question that may sound stupid but, if you choose a down jacket on your regular size (let's say M), are they made a little bit larger in order to accomodate other base and mid layers of the same size? Or if, for example, I dress everyting size M, I need to buy a L sized Down Jacket? Thanks
Down jackets are not oversized. Generally, you'd buy the same size as you normally wear, just try it on with a few layers and see if it fits.
Hi, Should I start taking Viagra when AMS symptoms begin, or take it from day one of the climb as a preventive. Thank you
It can be used either way, but the recommendation is to take it as a preventative.
Looking forward to the Aug 31 Lemosho with y'all
Thanks so much Kevin.. I'm booked for the Sept 28th 8day Lemosho climb.. Training and so excited!!

If I have a bad knee for going down, which is the best route? Thanks
Rongai and Marangu are better for your knees. They have gentler descents.
Brilliant, Simple Information. Very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Think I had only two doses and it made me unable to urinate. Quite a problem until it wore off.
Thank you for this!
Excellent vid, 100% agree to everything you said based on your experience. At some point at some summit push you will ask yourself; what am I doing here, why did I spend my precious money doing this.
This is so helpful. I'll be visiting Peru soon.
Helpful video🎉! Thank you for posting!
All to take photos for the most part 😅
So, if i have to train on a treadmill, i should aim to be walking at a good incline at about 2-3mph?
Frankly, walking on a treadmill alone is probably not enough, even at an incline. It simply doesn't work you hard enough. A stair machine is much better.
can you do a chimera between an elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard in real life and what will it look like?
OK Kevin..now I'm totally confused.. I have been watching all the videos and reading blog after blog on how tough (especially summit night) the climb is...and now you come out with a video on climbing Kilimanjaro is easy.. LOLOL I am right on the fence..as this for me would be pretty extreme for me.. now I'm baffled.. LOL I really appreciate all your info however!! Thanks much. WiL
I climbed in 2018, it is very tiring for sure (especially for someone above their 40s). No matter how good of a guide you get, you are still using your own legs to walk for 5-8 hours per day (for a 8-9 day trip) and you don't get the luxury of a soft bed. The risk, from what I have heard while before and while climbing, is that success rates for fewer days (4-6) is significantly lower because climbers don't get acclimatized to the high elevation fast enough (plus it's more intense). Do it now before you get any older!
@@HercadosP OK.. took the plunge.. Signed up for the 8 day Lemosho Route Sept 28th.. Excited!

Thanks Kevin! Great info!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for sharing your personal story.. I'm sure it resonates with so many.. I for one, could use a spark at this time in my life.. The thought of climbing Kilimanjaro just seems so extremely way out there... but perhaps not..
Perhaps not...
Reached summit,2wks.ago..age 76,so you too can do it! Pole,pole
damn you have a bad track record 3 fails on one mountain. LOL
Two fails, then success! But the Cascades are known for its bad weather. 50% of the commercial climbs on Mount Rainier's are aborted due to weather/avalanche risk.
Thanks for stopping me from wasting $50 on something which would have been deleterious!
I don't understand why you'd wear your down jacket over your outer shell? down jackets are water resistant but not waterproof. Outer shells are waterproof and windproof.
Why would you rate 3 for cost if it is very expensive... surely more cost is bad...
For some categories, a high score meant a favorable condition (scenery, acclimatization) while others it meant a unfavorable condition (difficulty, crowds, cost). We used the stars to indicate low (one star), medium (two stars) or high (three stars) regardless of which type of category it fell in, for consistency. For instance, difficulty got three stars for it being a hard trail. Likewise for cost, it got three stars for a high cost.

My son and I are in the early stages of planning a future Kilimanjaro summit. We appreciate how your website and videos break down all aspects of the expedition. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Thoughts on this climb for someone with Multiple Sclerosis?
If you google MS and Kilimanjaro you will see people who have successfully climbed with it.
That’s sweet! Feel free to reach out.
Great video. I just bought Mammut mercury IV Mid LTH. They are low hiking boots and not goretex. They are extremely comfortable and very light weight. I want to use them later this year or next year for Kilimanjaro.

Thanks for your feedback!
It was points 3 and 7 for me: I did the Lemosho route end of December 2023 and it rained for 2 days (Point 3) during the most scenic points of the route: Lava tower and the descent to Baranco Camp, which lead me to point 7 (I wish I was home) Also the final ascend, beginning at midnight, the weather was horrible with a snow blizzard. At dawn, when I reached the summit the blizzard did not stop so I made a couple of Photos at Uhuru peak and then I just wanted to get the hell out of there. Moral of my story: do the climb in the DRY season (Jan-Feb) and you just might enjoy it at the summit
