Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro Part One

My partner at the time Saira Gangji and I decided that a trip to the African continent was in order, including a trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro via the Rongai route. This video outlines the day to day experience including the summit push and a healthy dose of AMS (cerebral endema). Did we make it? Did we live or die?...watch to find out. :)

This is part one of a three part doc.

I climbed Mount Fuji, but I never climbed Kilimanjaro, i had the chance. but things didn't work out. I regret that since the glaciers are likely to be gone before i get the next chance to do it....
