In 1982 while trekking in Nepal with a friend, we joined forces with an Australian couple and also a Canadian couple. The male Canadian a doctor, recounted a story from a few days earlier in which his wife started to show signs of HACE. He told us that she she just wanted to lie down in the trail and sleep. They descended to a lower elevation and spent several days acclimatizing. When we met them, she was fine and we all crossed a 17,000 ft pass together without incident. The lesson of that story is to build into your trek some extra days to gradually acclimate to higher altitude.

@s.richards6552 4 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, that is not possible on Kilimanjaro. A permit to climb is very expensive and issued by the government. Climbers are a huge source of income and treated as a cash cow, with a very short limit of time allowed for each group on the mountain. Even the longest routes offered with an extra day's acclimatisation allow for less than half of the medically recommended time for ascent. Most people suffer some degree of altitude sickness, usually mild, but many do not make it to the summit. It really is a trek, not at all technical but the altitude does make it more risky. Rockfalls are a danger on any mountain, but the Western Breach route has always been the most hazardous

Climbing mountain...out of my bucket list

@junrobin9335 Ай бұрын

You can safely climb mountains. I climbed plenty of them in the Alps that weren't high enough for altitude sickness but still posed a challenge to get over big rocks. I was like thirteen at the time. Had a clear trail to follow. And an extra map. Just make sure you always got a gps tracking device on you and if you're in the alps also an emergency whistle to blow the emergency signal. The tops of those mountains are still magnificent and quiet with just the wind around you and your own heartbeat and whoever else you climbed with panting next to you. I'd really recommend doing one if you had it on your bucket list, but not one that'll hurt you. I did Nendaz in Switzerland as well as Lac de Dix but that one is only the dam walk not the hut climb. I didn't wanna go into the snow and ice.

Climbed Kilimanjaro several times , back in the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. Also climbed dozens of other much more challenging, technically more difficult such as the Eiger in Switz, Mont Blanc solo in winter loads of other routes in the Alps, the Andes and Himalayas. Killimanjaro is a rather easy hike, however most of these accidents were freak. Back in the 70s when I climbed Killi i was alone and had an incident with a Leopard attacking my tent one night. Sad these people died but they were freaky very unlucky incidents.Afterall one of the guys had summited Everest and ended up surviving all that to get hit by Lightning.

@chk859 4 ай бұрын

Kilimanjaro has over 50,000 people attempting to climb to the peak every year and fatal accidents are very rare. I have climbed the mountain many times including to the summit with my 84-year-old father. It is all about the guides accompanying any group being experienced enough to know when to turn back a climber whether he or she likes it or not. Tell tell signs of pulmonary edema or high altitude cerebral edema are usually detectable in time to make sure the trekker descends with a professional to a more comfortable, lower altitude where he can rest before proceeding back down to ground level. These two forms of edema can hit the most sporty and fit person going. Altitude sickness is indiscriminate and it has nothing to do with how fit or sporty you may be. Also what is important is that less rocky roots are taken when there has been high rains or Kilimanjaro is still saturated from recent rains. The first fatal instant in this video was avoidable. The second incident could possibly have been avoided if they chose a route with less bolders because of the rains, such as Marangu. However, we must take into consideration that any mountain trekking or climbing experience has risks that can lead to injuries or far rarely deaths. Both Kilimanjaro, Mt Kenya and the Rwenzoris in Uganda have an excellent reputation for successful summit and dedicated licensed guides. My heart goes out to all of the people mentioned in this video who lost loved loved ones. it is a very rare but as I said before, there always a chance of danger when you want to summit mountain. I also noticed this video on Killi that some of the videos was opposite taken from Mawenzi looking over to Kibo. Mawenzi is a very precarious climb on exceedingly loose, jagged rock and should never be attempted except by highly experience mountain climber rather than people wanting to go on a mountain trek. As for the steepness of going up Kilimanjaro ‘s Final hump, it really depends which route you’re taking but on the Marangu route the descent is always on a well trodden zigzag pattern at a slow pace to avoid slipping. One secret for anyone wanting to hike up a major mountain. The tortoise will always beat the hare! Take the first day especially slowly. As a short woman I can’t tell you how many macho people who raced past me yet never made their summits and have had to retreat. Again my sincere condolences for those who have lost loved ones following their dream to reach any summit.

The symptoms of even ordinary altitude sickness are hardly “mild.” I get it every time I am at altitude, and it is quite debilitating. The headache is excruciating, unlike even the worst migraine, and the gastrointestinal effects are horrible. It is possible to vomit and spew diarrhea at the same time. It makes me entirely unable to sleep. Mental acuity is reduced to the intellectual capacity of a tree stump. I’m pretty sure that if I continued to ascend while ill with AMS, it would inevitably develop into HAPE or HACE, but it makes me so sick I couldn’t do so even if I wanted to. If you’re so sick from AMS you cannot wait the days it may take to physically adjust, the only way to make it stop is to descend immediately, and the instant relief of doing so is bliss. If I know ahead of time I will ascend above a certain altitude, I can prevent or mitigate symptoms by taking Diamox, but that needs to be started 2 weeks prior to ascent and it is a powerful diuretic, so you have to urinate ridiculously often.

tragic lives of rich people, sorry but i can't feel bad for anyone who can afford to go on adventure like this because they are doing it knowing and accepting the risks that come with it

Why isn't every hiker carrying, just in case, bottled oxygen when climbing Kilimanjaro?

Most companies offer oxygen bottle for emergency.

Why does this sound like ChatGPT wrote this. All videos here are 20min+ long and All of them uploaded only few days apart. This is kinda sus.

Another good, educative video. I'm glad to have summited Kilimamjaro 8 times out of love to nature, I wish you will talk about mt.Meru in Moshi.,Tanzania.I found its terrain hard and challenging. RIP for all fallen heroes. I love you all. When you make it up and down the mountain, you thank the Most high for being alive

There were so many red flags prior these accidents. These sycophants just ignored them. Their own determination killed them. I'll just stay down here.

I believe I have read that in some depressions on the slopes of Kilimanjaro there are pockets of CO2 that can be fatal to animals and humans. Nicht wahr ?

I do not understand why the people that put these videos together, insert so many videos or pictures that are obviously from totally different areas, or mountains. Is it that difficult to do the research and find the correct photos or videos?? Or do they just not care??

As a hiker who happened to scale Mt.Kilimanjaro on 12 March 2024.I concur with the sentiments here...its more of ones mental resiliance than a physical tribute.Happy to have concured Mt.Kili in my early 30yrs.😊

"At the top of one of the highest places on earth" 3:31 is not accurate and misleading. On the list of the highest mountains on earth, which is misleading because it does not account for the under-sea mountains, there are 138 listings and Kilimanjaro does not make the list. This list should be titled the highest places above sea level. Most people learn, as children, the hazards of lightning and how to safely avoid strikes. What was Ian thinking as he led his group up the mountain in a severe rainstorm exposed to the elements and the lightning that killed him?

This is not an undersea mountain, so obviously this was said in that context.

Those men should be commened, but here's the truth climbing Everest, it is like either being born or dying. Even though there are people there, you are on your own. If you have not continuously trained and are not in shape for it, you have no business on the mountain.

What I learned was with hypothermia. Hyperthermia , HACE and HAPE, alsi dehyration or low electrolytes. What I learned fro experiencing 2/3 of these is thatbthe FIRST thing to go us judgment. Thinking is not clear, decisions are haphazard. Ugh.

Why is a race car driver trying to climb this mountain??!

@christophervaughan2637 4 ай бұрын

To raise money for a good cause. So his doing something different would be a good way to raise awareness of the lack of sanitary pads for girls Racing cars is so dangerous he would also probably addicted to taking risks in some ways It’s also difficult to predict who will cope with mountain sickness

He also seemed to be a cyclist, they showed him & his wife with bikes. He was in decent shape it was the altitude. People should acclimate / bring oxygen.

" . . . wide as all the world, great, high, and unbelievably white in the sun was the square top of Kilimanjaro . . . ." Ernest Hemingway, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." I've climbed Kilimanjaro. It's what mountaineers call a "walk up." Not a difficult climb.
