Just be prepared for dour thoughts from 11pm to 5am doing the night climb on summit night. It's quiet, people are tired. The altitude is real tough at that point. But man, when that sun pops up over Stella Point. Feels like primal energy returning.

I made the hard decision to descend at Lava Tower. I hadn't been able to get any food own for a day or two prior. and my balance was going. I pushed one more day from camp Baranco to Karanga (including the wall) but I had no balance left at that point. I had heli evac coverage, which I used, but I would have gladly paid out of pocket at that point. Maybe another time, or not. I'm still glad for the experience

So a scale of 1-10 with a 7 when there are mountains like Denali…they sure didn’t leave a lot of room on their scale lol
@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro
@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro Ай бұрын
The difficulty rating of 7/10 is from the perspective of a typical person doing physical things that are accessible to the general public (like running a marathon). However, in the realm of mountaineering, climbing Kilimanjaro is pretty basic. We would rate a supported Kilimanjaro climb a 1/10, an unsupported Kilimanjaro climb a 3/10, and a Denali expedition a 10/10.

Would not agree with your price and cost message. Costs of Kili climb is approximately half of what you said. For people coming from Europe, total costs with the plane ticket are some 3500$ (safari included). Sure there are more expensive options (i have seen these during my stay in Tanzania) as with any travel. Thats up to the traveler

Most of our clients are from North America. From the USA, the flight alone ranges from $1500-$2500. Obtaining the required gear can easily cost a couple thousand dollars more. Add visa, travel insurance, tips, plus the land cost of the trip and $5,000 to $8,000 is absolutely a reasonable cost once everything is accounted for.

Climbed Kili few months back. Experienced absolutely no problems, everything went great. On the summit night, tiredness hits due to little sleep and in combination with altitude you feel dizzy and weak. At that point the mental strength takes over. Great experience

Despite these factors it's still worth going because it really is an experience you will never forget, no matter what happens. The mountain will always be there so not summiting isn't the end of the world. And the risk on this mountain is very low, it's not as remote as mountain ranges like the Himalayas so if you get really sick or break something, you will be rescued

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.
