Epic adventure. Beautiful views of the mountain. Thanks for sharing your journey. You made it seem so easy. I’ll be doing the 7 days Machame route with Altezza January 2025. I don’t do so well with high altitude so I’m already prepared with all the meds, patches, teas, ginger candy, etc. Congrats on summiting! 🎉 🍾
@@Gettinglostonthetrail thank you so much! You know, it’s actually pretty gradual with the altitude, especially with the 7 day route. The only big day is the summit day where you go from about 14k to 19k in one push. That can be the day where you may really feel the effects of the altitude. Hope it all goes well though!!
Haha thank you so much and thanks for watching! Congrats on Massive. It’s never easy being at altitude. It’s always interesting at elevation, just never sure how you’ll respond each time. We did Mt. Elbert back in September last year and kept looking over at Mt. Massive wishing we would’ve had time to do it as well.
There’s really not a ton you can do training wise to prepare for altitude, unless you live somewhere where you can get to higher altitudes of course. Staying hydrated is very important and will help tremendously. There are also some supplements that claim to help, such as ginkgo, that you can find on a quick google search. Don’t know how much validity there is to that. Best of luck to you! Thanks for watching!
@@marriedmountaineers thank you for replying. Will be sure to watch the rest of your videos. Looks like you have both had one hell of an adventure. Look forward to more. Best of luck

You guys make it look so easy. Lol. I climbed mt. Massive in Colorado at 14,400ish and thought I was going to die. Lol. Nicely done! Great video.

Cool! Is it good to do it in rainy season like May? :)
We haven’t done it in rainy season, but there would certainly be a lot less people on the mountain! Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Way to crush it💪🏻🏔️🏔️
Thank you so much!!
Great video, my partner and I are climbing Kili in January 2025. My main worry is attitude sickness, any tips to train for this.
