RE: Hiking Mt Kilimanjaro Day 6 - The Western Breach and Summit
Holy shit man, you did the western breach... We were at lava tower when we heard that someone had been killed climbing the breach. That's some scary stuff. Congrats on summiting, i know exactly how hard that is. Next thing you will want to do is Everest Base Camp (if you haven't already). Id recommend that for sure.
!! its awesome that someone actually knows the Western Breach! And yes, shit was scary during! This was my first multi-day hike up a mountain like this so as a beginner I was like damn whats going on!? We had no idea when we signed up for this route from the beginning. Ignorance was seriously bliss. Glad you recognize it!
Have you done Everest Base Camp? I'm toying with the idea eventually but I heard its a much $$$ ordeal.
Oh by the way what route did you take?
We did the Lemosho route.
As for EBC, yes we did it this year although we didn't make it due to some bad stomach sickness. We were a day away!! As for $$$, it's not actually that much and pretty comparable to doing Kilimanjaro. We did 2 weeks of trekking. The food out there is so cheap that it makes up for any other expenses. Staying in tea houses is also very cheap and it generally a bit more comfortable than tenting it on Kili.
Great advice I will definitely have to consider this down the line. Thanks for the tips
