    Really enjoyed the video. Climbed with ClimbKili this past October and loved it.

    Hi David and H, just completed the climb myself last week doing the Lemosho route. Really enjoyed your diary of the journey but what made it stand out over all
    the other vids I’ve watched is the credit you give to the guides and porters. It was disappointing from
    the others to gloss over their efforts but you didn’t and even gave a refreshing interview time to your lead guide. I can’t thank my guides and porters enough for getting me through the climb. Well done to you and H

    The best Kili video I have seen. Especially David, his narration, the simplicity, the language. It seriously suits me as an ex soldier myself. Love you guys. Thank you.

    Great journey, and you surely earned all the service! "Juveniles" just like to make customers satisfied, and with a smile. Hakuna matata.
    I was there at the Uhuru Peak on Feb. 15th 1989. It is so sad, that there is no snow anymore. In -89 the whole top was covered with snow and ice. We had to walk along a snow path and not to step aside in deep snow.
    No snow anymore there (you know why). But still a Great Mountain. AND IN AFRICA.

      No doubt the summit day was the hardest…16 hours of straight hiking….I am glad we took the northern route to give ourselves the best chance for success.

    Thank you for sharing. I want to do this same one January 2024 for my 55th birthday. Feeling a bit inadequate though lol.

      @Milemarker123  2 роки тому +1

      14 months to get ready is a fair amount of time for preparation. The Northern Route has a high success rate, as it allows you more time to acclimate. ClimbKili was good to us...all we had to do was walk, sleep and eat...good luck!!!

    I feel the same about being served so well, it just isn't something Ive ever been comfortable with. But ClimbKili treated us so well. Great video, David. I'm always happy to see Seraphine, too. Also, it's interesting to see a different route. I like the view you had of the mountain on day 2! Congrats, great video again.

    Hi
    Is it six day up and six day down?

    • @Milemarker123
      @Milemarker123  2 роки тому +3

      9 days total, 7 going up, 2 coming down. We used climb killi, they were really good….cost about $3k

    Climbing next week....how was the cold? Also, you both seemed to handle the altitude very well. Was it Diamox and slowly slowly??

    • @Milemarker123
      @Milemarker123  2 роки тому +2

      Connor, not too cold overall, but the morning of the ascent was around 20 degrees and there was a strong wind. No issues with elevation, but we took the 9 day route, summit on day 8, and took Diamox, a few side effects, tingling fingers and had to take a few more pit stops. Slow is the new fast…enjoy your experience!!!

    Hey David - great video! I'm going with ClimbKili in June on the Lemosho route. Was scheduled in February, but went positive (without symptoms) for the Omicron variant. ClimbKili was good to reschedule me without additional fees to June - so I'm still looking forward while training! What were your impressions of the ClimbKili crew?

    • @Milemarker123
      @Milemarker123  2 роки тому +3

      Matthew - ClimbKili was GREAT!!! The guide, Sara, was exceptionally knowledgeable of mountain and lead his crew of porters very well. Everything on the trip was well coordinated and executed. On the COVID thing, I think that was our greatest hurdle, as the testing requirements seemed to change. Good luck in your Journey to the rooftop of Africa!!!

    • @hshindle1422

      To clarify, our Guide from Climb Kili was Seraphin JoachIm Matto. Would also highly recommend and would specifically request him to lead us again. He has 250+ Kili Summits. His whole Team was hand picked by him, and it showed.
