Everyone seems to know someone that has been up Kilimanjaro, on the border of Tanzania and Kenya. But they never seemed to have done it themselves!!
Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa at 5,891.8 metres (19,330 ft), remembering that Everest Base camp is at 18,370 ft.
Kilimanjaros summit is well above the altitude at which high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), or high altitude cerebral edema (HACE) can occur.[22] All climbers will suffer considerable discomfort, typically shortage of breath, hypothermia and headaches,so care has to be taken with the proper training and planning.
Our team for this challenge is from Australia and the UK, and our blog is to give you a flavor of our adventure from training through to out visit to the mountain.
