For fun? Presumably, it would be hard to move and it'd be really hot.

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
@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro 10 күн бұрын
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
@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro 10 күн бұрын
It can be used either way, but the recommendation is to take it as a preventative.

So, if i have to train on a treadmill, i should aim to be walking at a good incline at about 2-3mph?
@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro 10 күн бұрын
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.

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!

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...
@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro 4 ай бұрын
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.

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
