Don't be Scared (Erase Your Fear of Kilimanjaro)
This happens all the time. You’re thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro. You tell a few coworkers, family members and friends about your outdoor ambitions. They say they’re interested too, so you’re thrilled. Before you know it, you have a list of a dozen or more people who want to form a large group to climb Kilimanjaro. It’s going to be epic.
Then, as the planning progresses, the excitement fades. The numbers begin to dwindle. One by one people drop out, for one reason or another. And when it’s time to firm up the dates and put a deposit down, the actual participants are revealed. What was once a hefty group of excited adventurers is now just a fraction of the original size.
Why is it that so many people who were initially interested ultimately don’t go through with it?
In this video, I’ll discuss the common fears and objections to climbing Kilimanjaro and how to overcome them. In other words, how to go from maybe and i don’t know, to yes.

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
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.
Extremely thoughtful video! Thank you.
Don't let the them tell you it's hard to walk up this big hill, just take your time and it's not that hard, I did it in 1999, with no training and smoking 20 fans a day , 2 on the top, it's not that hard, don't waste your brass lol x
Don’t 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
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.
@@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 prices
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
Haha, the psychological phases are exactly what I went through during my PhD for 6 years. I'm totally prepared to climb Kilimanjaro now.
Very helpful points. Thanks
I'm loving your videos. I'm thinking of climbing in a year or two. 😊
Did Kilimanjaro this year.Took diamox.Made me really sick.I had pins and needles in my face and hands.I felt dehydrated even after making sure I get my minimal 4litres in a day.
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
I wear glasses, i have prescription sun glasses but guessing they won't be enough, guessing I will need some type of glacier/ski goggles then is my best option
Prescription sunglasses will most likely work fine for your climb. They're just not ideal due to the lack of side coverage.
Thank you :-)
Oakley glacier glasses for me. my eyes are sensitive to begin with and these are perfect.
Good choice! They're really nice.
The agony of choice😅

Has anyone ever tried to climb a mountain with an astronaut suit?
For fun? Presumably, it would be hard to move and it'd be really hot.
@@Ultimate-Kilimanjaro Yes but a suit made for mount Everest... Maybe they can make it flexible, light weight, and durable too
Thanks for the information sir
You're welcome
I have a question that may sound stupid but, if you choose a down jacket on your regular size (let's say M), are they made a little bit larger in order to accomodate other base and mid layers of the same size? Or if, for example, I dress everyting size M, I need to buy a L sized Down Jacket? Thanks
Down jackets are not oversized. Generally, you'd buy the same size as you normally wear, just try it on with a few layers and see if it fits.
Hi, Should I start taking Viagra when AMS symptoms begin, or take it from day one of the climb as a preventive. Thank you
It can be used either way, but the recommendation is to take it as a preventative.
Looking forward to the Aug 31 Lemosho with y'all
Thanks so much Kevin.. I'm booked for the Sept 28th 8day Lemosho climb.. Training and so excited!!

Rongai and Marangu are better for your knees. They have gentler descents.
Brilliant, Simple Information. Very useful!
Glad it was helpful!
Think I had only two doses and it made me unable to urinate. Quite a problem until it wore off.
Thank you for this!
Excellent vid, 100% agree to everything you said based on your experience. At some point at some summit push you will ask yourself; what am I doing here, why did I spend my precious money doing this.
This is so helpful. I'll be visiting Peru soon.
Helpful video🎉! Thank you for posting!
All to take photos for the most part 😅
So, if i have to train on a treadmill, i should aim to be walking at a good incline at about 2-3mph?
Frankly, walking on a treadmill alone is probably not enough, even at an incline. It simply doesn't work you hard enough. A stair machine is much better.
can you do a chimera between an elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard in real life and what will it look like?
