Killimajaro is not easy, because you accent 1000 meters of altitude/day, and that is more than recommended. Don't get fooled by the guides either, many of them and plenty that are careless, and that will take your money but not take care of YOU. I payed $ 4000 for 2 persons way back, "pole, pole" was all we got and my partner had to be brought down pronto, given her problems at Kibo Hut (4800 meters.) I was in great shape at that altitude and ready for the summit, but had lost confidence in our guides (long story) and secured her decent and well being and all the way back at the hotel we were staying.

I went with a group of 60 people the majority of them undergrad students, only half of us managed to summit. You need to be mentally strong to summit. Fitness alone is not enough

Perhaps it would be good to not say “why people fail”and instead simply say “why people don’t summit”- this is an incredibly difficult journey for some and the fact that they undertook the challenge, trained for it, spent the money and time - is not a failure. It’s a courageous decision to take this on, and if you don’t ‘make it to the summit, you still tried something incredibly difficult and emotional. It’s an equally difficult decision to say “I can’t do this anymore” and agree to descend. Still not a failure. Thanks :)

Is it possible to WALK to the top, without climbing? 04:30 shows CLIMBING, whatever you want to say for that it's not. It's climbing.

My wife and I got to the 16,000 ft 13k acclimation hike 2 days prior to summit. She sat down on a rock and slid off the rock hitting her shoulder which caused severe pain. Nothing heals at high altitude. She had to get down in altitude which we did the next day, hiking 6 hours to an off road car packed with hikers leaving altitude. We made it down and she's fine today.Thankfully, we learned a lot about each other and closer today.
@Ultimate-KilimanjaroАй бұрын
Glad she is OK and that it brought you closer.

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.
@Ultimate-KilimanjaroАй бұрын
Indeed. The sun does amazing things to morale and energy.

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-Kilimanjaro2 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
@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro2 ай бұрын
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.
@ratkoperic2 ай бұрын
@@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro Like I said, someone will pay it 8000 and someone 3500. As with everything in life, so does Kilimanjaro experience comes in different packages and prices. However, gear price cant be included in the experience price.

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
