Interactive Kili Climb

October 31st, 2007 Wade

As many of you know I climbed Kilimanjaro back in 2005 and it was a huge accomplishment for me. I summited via the Western Breach and the climb was tough, but definitely do-able for anyone in good physical shape and a good backpacking skills and high altitude experience. I saw this over on The Adventure Blog and the Best Hike Blog and it is definitely cool!

The New York Times has created an Interactive Kili Climb by using Tom Bissell’s climb as a resource. Interactive maps and video help you understand what it’s like to get up high on this amazing mountain. If you watch this, look where he dips down into a valley about halfway through the climb. That is where I turned up and the above opening near the summit is the Western Breach.

Check this thing out, it’s worth the time.
