Costly — however I lastly signed on to the only finest trekking peak on the planet.
I’d lengthy been a fan of mountaineering vlogger Eric Hanson. When he introduced a personally guided journey — I signed on immediately.
Machame Route (Whiskey Route) for me ought to be comparatively straightforward. BUT many have to show again as a consequence of altitude illness signs.
My plan is to spend some weeks in Ecuador above 3000m and — hopefully — have some acclimatization ➙ then fly on to Kilimanjaro airport. Altitude illness is close to not possible to foretell. (I’ve by no means had any regardless of mountaineering larger than 6000m many occasions.)
I’ll keep on in East Africa following Kili. My first go to.
That is the 2nd time I’d signed up for Kilimanjaro. The primary was in 2020 — cancelled by Covid.
