CLIMBING KILIMANJARO | October 22

In October 2022, we set off to climb Mount Kilimanjaro (5895m), a dormant volcano and the highest free-standing mountain in the world.
After many highs and lows, we summited Uhuru Peak on 8th October 2022 at 07:30am.

Amazing video Chloe! Really showcases the beauty of the landscape, but also your personal journey along the route. Well done!

[@topout8848m]

Another terrific video Chloe, well done. It brought back happy memories for me as I climbed it in 1999 via the Barranco Wall, a lot more snow and ice back then requiring crampons and ice-axe. Keep adventuring, best wishes, Kevin.

[@chloereedni]

Thank you very much Kevin! That sounds interesting having to get out the ice axe and crampons, the wall was tricky enough without snow and ice!! Sounds like a great trip. Take care and thanks for watching. :)

[@adverseinperpetuity]

Great video. Watching the sunrise from above the clouds while summitting was an all-time experience for me as well.

[@shaileshlohar]

Thank-you !!! for reminding me why I fell in love with mountains ❤️

Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

LOOKS A LOT SAFER AND MORE FUN THAN EVEREST GREAT JOB!

Only someone who's too poor to climb Everest would think that.

@@ramdas363wow that’s a dick thing to say man.. You can afford to climb Mt Everest? Congratulations. Go ahead and piss away $200k on that if that’s your thing ..

[@jonathondemer7749]

@@ramdas363you’d have to be poor to think kili is a safer climb than Everest? Are you dumb?

[@prakashkhatiwada32]

What was the unsafe in Everest

[@Abrahamburg]

@@prakashkhatiwada32with that altitude you wouldn’t be able to breath because of low air pressure… there’s way less oxygen, and it only became safer maybe today but its still very dangerous, and you will see so many bodies of deceased people while climbing, no one is gonna stop for you because every minute matters trying to climb to the top, also extreme coldness and wind that could make you fall... Climbing Everest is probably one of the most challenging things on earth.

[@luisarojas9271]

Espectacular , que maravilla de paisajes, una preciosa experiencia

[@pinarbelgen]

Hi Cloe would you share with me the name of the tour company which provides you this amazing adventure ? I hope I would think to make the same next year. Thanks

[@DutchMilan.h]

Did this route March this year such an amazing experience especially when you reach the top

[@Markjenson1894]

Great video, Chloe, thank you for sharing! I did Kili in Aug 2022 via the Machame route, also with G Adventures. I can recognize those purple t-shirts from across the land.😉 The 11pm wake-up call on summit night was rough....I got zero sleep that night and was falling asleep half way up while climbing. Got a second wind though, and pulled through, thanks to the dedicated g-fighters! Thanks for the memories.🙂

[@user-zr1to2xx3v]

Congratulations! It reminds me of having a great time while climbing Kilimanjaro. I went there just a few days after you guys summited. We took the same route like you.

[@chloereedni]

Thank you! Oh brilliant, well done for summiting yourself. I thought it was a hard route.

[@Jasmine-xt5nv]

Hey! Great video - I’m thinking of tackling Kilimanjaro in a few years too, and this has definitely inspired me to do it! Can I ask how you found adjusting to the altitude over such a short period?

[@chloereedni]

Hi, thanks so much, I appreciate it! Honestly it was tough, it was a huge amount of altitude gain per day. A lot of our group struggled and two didn’t make it to the summit. If I was doing it again I’d consider doing one of the longer routes just to give the best possible chance of making it.

[@leovanbree]

Very nice video, Chloé! I reached the summit of the Kilimandscharo in August 2017. It was a great experience.

[@chloereedni]

Thank you very much! Congratulations on your summit - it’s a challenging but rewarding climb. Take care!

[@bagpackwithkush]

Hi - Loved your video... Can you recommend any group which can help us doing this trek?

[@msdecleir6389]

Wow. We’re there any dangerous parts to it? Like actual climbing? or was it all hiking. I love a hike but not a climb. Thanks

[@chloereedni]

No it was all hiking! The only bit was Barranco wall, you are scrambling with your hands. But you never have to actually climb, you just need your hands to hoist yourself up a bit. It lasted about an hour. I’m not a climber myself but as long as you are sure enough on your feet on more unstable surfaces you would be fine!

[@gemmawilliams3410]

Well done! Great video :) I'm doing the Machame route with G Adventures this October, i'm so excited! - do you mind me asking what daypack you used and size?

[@chloereedni]

Thank you very much! I’m pretty sure it’s the Osprey Hikelite 18. It was perfect for carrying the things I needed during the day. Though I wish I had packed warmer things for October- it was really really cold at night time! Would really recommend thick gloves/socks, neck thermal and even little hand warmers. Enjoy your trip, it’s an amazing experience :)

[@schumi246]

I did the same route, with G as well, made the summit on 14 Oct 21, so,pretty much the same time a year before. What camp did you find to be the coldest, for me it was barranco, barafu wasn’t too bad.

[@chloereedni]

Oh wow very nice! I actually found Shira the coldest despite it being lower, I agree that Barafu wasn’t too bad. Though maybe we were so exhausted by then that we didn’t notice!

[@Vangabonduk]

Thank you. Somewhere between £2500-£3000 GPB.

I would recommend long walks/hikes somewhere hilly and maybe take a weighted backpack. We were never moving too quickly but were on our feet for 6-8 hours each day. :)
