Mount Kilimanjaro's Summit | Western Breach, Glaciers & Uhuru Peak (Pt. 2)
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 09. 2019
- In Part 2 of the Kilimanjaro Series, Alex The Vagabond ascends the perilous Western Breach Route to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on the continent of Africa and the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at 19,341ft (5,895m).
The "Roof of Africa" is a mysterious volcanic land of rock and ice, where the air is thin and the dangers are plenty. Alex takes you on a 14-hour journey up the near-vertical Western Breach across a volcanic wasteland to a remote glacier field, into the crater of the volcano and finally to the summit of Kilimanjaro at Uhuru Peak. #MtKilimanjaro

next try k2. I bet it's more hard than this one.
Welcome back home
I think you should head to Chamonix - incredible scenery and loads of peaks for every ability
Thank you. Praying for your mom.
It is contagious!
There is no real reason we feel the need to do it but it is hard to stop it !
I don't think a CZcams video has ever inspired me so much.
That is so nice to read. Thank you! -Alex
Just climb that goddamn mountain !
I am from Rwanda 🇷🇼 and I love Tanzania 🇹🇿 so much! Sending best wishes to your mom
Porters are the real heroes in mountain climbing.. whether it is Kilimanjaro or Everest.. ❤ from sri lanka..
They have nickname in Swahili called Wagumu(more than stronger)
@@rubberbandman1213 lol, we have this one called *fungaroho* meaning *capturing souls*😂 he's been doing this job for more than 30 years. if you see him then relate him to his name, you'll have all pictures of hell😂😂 in fact he's very social, tho ive never climbed the mountain.🇹🇿

I don't know why. but i teared up at the end of this. Just one hell of a youtube video. makes you realize how small we all are on this planet and how time is so valuable. great job.
Those glaciers on the way up are stunning, it's like a wall of ice in the middle of the desert, looks so surreal.
It was very bizarre and fascinating. Very quiet.
Been around for millions of years, but will be gone in a few years.
@@sdpinoy That would be false.
It's like the northern wall in G.O.T
@@johnperic6860 Yeah, but all the Tanzanian icebears died from warming back in 2012! /S
I wrote a song just from watching this video.. Thank you 🙏🙏
My country my proudness....!!! Tanzania, welcome again wakuu...!!🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🙌🙌🙌
Would YOU climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Let us know in the comments!
Would love to..

Thank you!!! @AlexTheVagabond put a lot of effort into this one!
After seeing you doing it, its on the list! 😊
No words...
This was beautifully shot, brilliantly edited, and i truly believe it was your Magnum Opus.
I already wanted to climb this beast but this video series has convinced me I have to do it for my self and it looks like Kiliwarriors is the way to go!
Thank you Alex and thank you to Kiliwarriors for this work of art

My city kilimanjaro. I am super happy seeing people enjoying Africa. Karibu tena Vagabrothers
Yes! It's here!
Hope you enjoyed!
@@vagabrothers Immensely. Thanks again.
Enjoyed this. Brought back memories. I can relate to the Diamox issue. ha-ha. Climbed the western breach route about 16 yrs. ago. The glaciers at the top have shrunk a lot since my hike.
Unfortunately, that's what all the guides said about the glaciers as well. Glad we could bring back some memories!
@@vagabrothers Sublimation, but recovery has started.
Finally
Haha! Hope you enjoyed! Sorry for the wait but lots of great footage to play with and wanted to make it the best I could! - Alex
Wow...watched this for the first time today. During this time of covid it has resonated with me on such a deeper level. Literally brought tears to my eyes. The beauty of our planet is immeasurable. Thank you for showing us a part of the world few of us will ever see, and thank you for appreciating the way you do. Your love for our planet shows in every scene.
Be well, Alex
I got coveted with shivers when you showed the uhuru singing the first time .
This was an incredible series.
Sending your mom, you & your family all the best in this challenging fight. Stay strong, but also save space for vulnerability when needed. *hugs*
Thank you so much for this heartfelt message Jen. Really appreciate your kind words and support. Thanks for tuning in.
Thank you Jen!
P
The best CZcams videos I seen in a week.
kilimanjaro seemed to have , the entire earth's atmosphere in one spot. I would not know that if, it was not due to your informative and educational videos. I just wanted to hug that ice glescio, before it all gone.
Karibuni tena...simply means...welcome home again. Wishing your Mom a quick and speedy recovery.
Sincerely - Arusha resident
Brilliant!!! You can do anything you put your mind to. Thank you for this wonderful informative video. From Kenya

I love the energy of the porters 😁 the singing and dancing is such high spirits ... amazing videos 👍🏼👍🏼
They are awesome!!! Thank you Linda
Absolutely incredible Alex! Beautiful work and congrats on the summit! This is so inspiring and really can make anyone want to instantly put on those boots and unplug with nature anyway possible.

I noted, while you were in the tent commenting on your stomach problems and dehydration the porters were strategizing( in kishwahili) on how to get you some water !! They are grossly underpaid!!
They do that for a living and they know when to abandon whitey and when to help him. If you think they are underpaid you are welcome to chip in a few pounds.
They get tipped very well.
DigitalAwareness not that well
Great video footage and edition, but what an awesome comment Mringi. It is not just that they are underpaid and overworked. These porters are part of a colonialist industry that takes advantage of their work and throws only crumbs at them. People like these bros make amazing videos and profit out of them, together with the owners of the tour operators that are mostly from western countries. In the meantime, porters don't have a decent salary or a humane place to sleep or proper food to eat. The maker of this video comes to a moment of realization where he seems to realize the meaning of life. However, that realization doesn't even touch on the awful way these porters are treated or his damn white privilege At least he had the courtesy to say thank you to those brave porters. The moment the porters become the center of these video adventures, both in practice and in theory, is the moment that the hiking industry becomes sustainable. In the meantime, keep using the porters for the nice footage.
They are at work vringi

Thank you for sharing. What a remarkable hike!
Abundance of Blessings to all. Including your mom.
welcome Tanzania, Is the best in Africa
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Welcome back to our home, we love you so much. Mount Kilimanjaro found in Tanzania
Asante Sana!!! We love Tanzania
@@vagabrothers wow you speak Swahili. Thanks for coming
The series was awesome, Carlos hit it on the head - climbing a mountain is rewarding in any way. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. May she climb her mountain, too!
My beautiful country🇹🇿🇹🇿
Everyone needs these kinds of journeys in their lives - especially westerners; a get outta of yourselves time.
Cheers from Alberta, Western Canada..
The highest mountain in Africa,, your welcome Tanzania to climb mountain Kilimanjaro
Stunning video.... beautiful view left and right. Thank you for bringing this to us who unable to go there by ourselves.
And those porters are super human.... Seriously....
I know how hard it is to take the time to shoot pictures/video when you can barely breathe at high altitude. You and Carlos did an amazing job...and, OMG! you even busted out the drone for the crater shots. Fantastic storytelling, compelling video and terrific message. Loved the shout out to Jill. Congratulations on making it to the 19,341' summit after the dehydrating trek to the crater at 18,600! That took monster effort I'm sure! Awesome, Alex!
Intense photography and video, paired with an intense respect for the Kili Warriors and the stunning natural surroundings made for a moving experience! Thank You
What an experience you guys had! This is such a great video and your message hit home.
Good job congrats!!!
Thank you!
Bravo Vegabrothers Alex ,amazing vlog after 3 years I was able to watch it ,God bless 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Fantastic filmmaking and storytelling especially when expressing that no journey is made alone!!!
What?! The glacier is expected to be gone by 2025!?! We have to move this adventure sooner than we expected! Thanks for inspiring us and producing a great video!
Wow!! karibuni tena TANZANIA ,,, This was an incredible series
Alex.. Your art refects you as a person.. You are a true poet!! Thank you and your brother for giving us the best...
Wonderful scene from Tanzania, the tallest African mountain, the world tallest alone standing mountain, and the second world tallest mountain
k2 is second the tallest mountain in the world.not kilimanjaro.
Many thanks for this video. I never realised the mountain was so vast.
The porters have amazing stamina, having a dance before the rigours of the day and especially in the thin air!
AFRICA IS SO BEAUTIFUL
You capture the spirit of Africa so well (aren't those guys something else?!) Excellent cinematography and narration. I've been on a number of stunning hikes in South Africa and so now I climbed Kilimanjaro vicariously thanks to you guys!
Amazing work man
Thanks Christian!! Appreciate it bro! You too, keep crushing it! Let’s collab next time you’re in LA :)
Great moody video. Easily one of the best yet. Well done!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it. It was a pleasure for me to make.

From Tanzania,
Land of Kilimanjaro..
Thats a great video. Great job Alex !!!
Thank you Sami!
You did this mountain Justice and now we as Tanzanians have a masterpiece from you! I can always sit back, relax and watch this all day long. Best Mt.Kilimanjaro video I have seen in a while, you should definitely see other hidden gem's in Tanzania you would be amazed.
Thank you Frank!
Best Kilimanjaro video so far, thanks
Well done. This is both Inspirational and Spiritual. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.The world and all that dwell therein, For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the waters.
Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully. Psalm 24 v 1 - 4
Great job at climbing that summit. Keep the positivity. We are following your journey
Your words from 9:30 to 10:50 as you stood by the evaporating Glacier made me emotional.
Be very sad to see all those centuries of ice eventually disappear.
Thank you for taking us along to the peak of my favorite mountain as most of us would never ever climb it let alone see it with our own eyes.
Thank you.
please lets all take a moment and pray for the health of his mum
A wonderful video. I had no idea Kilimanjaro was so massive. From a Colorado hiker.
Great video! This mountain has been on my radar for a while now. One day i'll climb it also!
I so want to climb Kilimanjaro! Thanks for a great series.
Really good video man. Congrats! Positive energy to your mom Alex, believe!
Thank you Michael
so the mountain has different weather everywhere? Wow that beautiful
When you said, it's all in your head, I had goosebumps and dude I promise I will climb that mountain with or without that glacier soon... godbless you and your mom. LONG LIVE. 🎏🎏🎏🎏

Stumbled upon your video - part 1 - and just kept on watching. Very well presented, really good videography and so happy you pay tribute to the great local warriors as well.
Your closing comments about the meaning I can only underscore......I summited Kili twice.......once with other adults in the family. And then I asked my kids, if they ever wanted to experience this magical place in Africa they should let me know when they'd be old enough.
Two of my three did and I accompanied them up Kili when they were in their upper teenage years and we lived the dream together. I am so grateful to the place, the people there and to my kids for having joined me.
Now I have to check out what other trips you have taken.................Stefan
Good job Alex and Carlos for reaching the summit. Thanks to your Kili Warriors Team for being the super humans of Kili. Much love and respect.🌏
I just spent a night in the crater, saw the ashpit, smelt the sulfer, and made it to the top..thanks to this video for the idea and inspiration to see this unique part of the world. (I skipped the western breach) . By far summitung Kili was the hardest thing I have ever done and I am truly grateful I went the extra to be in the crater. Sure I felt terrible, but to me the crater was so much more powerful than the summit alone. Not sure I ever want to camp at 19,000 feet again, but glad I did it. Thanks to this video for the inspiration and Kilimanjaro Experts for making it possible.
awesome guys. great vlog. I loved climbing Kili. The feeling is amazing at the top.
Yes it was!
Congratulation.
And thank you for visiting my country and also my region.
Man, I thank you for the brilliant documentary. It's unlike anything I've watched before. The presentation is awesome i.e. the simplicity but yet complex scientific explanation and stunning cinematography is amazing. For some of us who may never climb mount Kilimanjaro in our lifetime, this documentary is the nearest thing to scaling up this beautiful mountain. Thanks again for the good work and may the Lord continue to bless you. Amen!
Wow what an epic journey , just felt as I’m reading the book “ lost world “ for the first time when I was a teenager , congratz for climbing mount kilamanjaro , best of luck from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Thank you Ashan!
One of the best Kilimanjaro videos we have ever seen at Tribal Tourist. You chose a hard route so EPIC effort. The magic of the ice falls. 100% Adventure Africa.
Determination Positivity Will always Win the Day Thats Facts Bru , Epique Moment Bru !!!👍👍👍

Aw guys, you moved me to tears with these 2 videos. Stunning!!! Definately on my bucket list now. THANK YOU
Great all around! Loved the shout out to your Mom who gave you the passion to travel and I am sure appreciated the “never give up” attitude!
incredible vlog, this is a piece of art in every way
Well done Alex, in many ways. You brought back many fond memories of my climb many years ago - the beauty, the simplicity and the challenge. If forces you to grab and rip all of your internal energy and strength to your body surface to reach the summit. A day that I will never forget. What beautiful visual stimulation to bring back such raw and positive emotions. Well done!
Superb 👌
I liked the way you appreciated the KiliWarriors👏🇰🇪
Thank you...excellent landscapes, that's how I met you for the first time, Greetings from here, Argentina...."✌
What an amazing journey and achievement Alex. Thank you for taking us with you. These 2 videos made me day dream about making it happen as well. Incredible cinematics and the raw moments you recorded are so beautiful. Thank you once again and I'm sending my well wishes to your warrior mom 🙏🏼❤
Thank you for appreciating the film and your kind words.
This made me so happy. I’d love to do a half Ironman, Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, etc. in life. Congratulations Alex:) This is amazing, and shout out to everyone who helped you along the way, it doesn’t go unnoticed
Amazing video!!!
Had the laugh at the diamox. I was peeing every hour while on that. Got into a heated argument with my guide who said I shouldn't take it for the final climb and took it away from me. Ouf, did I have a hard time. Took me 7 hours from Barafu camp to make it to Stella Point, and then another hour to Uhuru. One of the hardest things I did in my life. I was taking a break every 2 minutes to catch my breath.
Breathtakingly beautiful
Video and poetic description. Thankyou for recognizing your Tanzanian partners in the journey. Now you must climb Mount Rwenzori. It is even more beautiful with magnificent glaciers and terrain
Thank you Alex!! The Mountains of the Moon!
I was watching this while running on the treadmill. Thank you. This was beautiful & helped me on my first day back at the gym.
