Photos of Kilimanjaro and recommendations on the ascent of Philip Yalovega

They were a group of 5-people, including a child of 13 years, successfully climbed the highest peak in Africa. It was not easy, but they have coped! Congratulations guys with their first summit and wish continued climbing.

 Comments and farewell climbers followed by Philippe Yalovega.

1. Good equipment is very important! We need good equipment with membrane that protects you from wind, dust and moisture.

2. Thin puff (the bottom layer under the membrane) for the assault enough.

3. Good hiking boot that kept the ankle, it is necessary to Throughout the route (with the lowest camps).

4. Sleeping need really good (at -15-20 in comfort)! This is veryimportant!

5. We must always listen to the recommendations of guides: drink more water, go slowly, etc ..

6. It makes sense to go after climbing to a glacier to do beautiful pictures.

7. It is important to go to the assault and day transitions during that meet the sunrise is on the edge of the crater, and not on the slopes, and to have time to enjoy the surrounding views in daylight.

8. The seven-day program climbing (with an extra day acclimatization) - is the salvation! Without much experience considered short program makes no sense !!!

Comments from 7 Summits Club:

"We always pay attention to the importance of the equipment and importance

implement the recommendations of the guides, but the final understanding, as a rule,

It occurs only on the route. Preparation is very important. "

"It is important to choose the ascent route on Kilimanjaro properly taking into account the experience of the participants of the mountain! It affects the chances of a successful ascent, the health of participants and the general impression of the trip."
