Mount Kilimanjaro's Summit | Western Breach, Glaciers & Uhuru Peak (Pt. 2)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2019
- In Part 2 of the Kilimanjaro Series, Alex The Vagabond ascends the perilous Western Breach Route to Uhuru Peak, the highest point on the continent of Africa and the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at 19,341ft (5,895m).
The "Roof of Africa" is a mysterious volcanic land of rock and ice, where the air is thin and the dangers are plenty. Alex takes you on a 14-hour journey up the near-vertical Western Breach across a volcanic wasteland to a remote glacier field, into the crater of the volcano and finally to the summit of Kilimanjaro at Uhuru Peak. #MtKilimanjaro

Thank you. Praying for your mom.
It is contagious!
There is no real reason we feel the need to do it but it is hard to stop it !

Thank you!!! @AlexTheVagabond put a lot of effort into this one!
After seeing you doing it, its on the list! 😊
I am from Rwanda 🇷🇼 and I love Tanzania 🇹🇿 so much! Sending best wishes to your mom
I don't think a TH-cam video has ever inspired me so much.
That is so nice to read. Thank you! -Alex
Just climb that goddamn mountain !
Porters are the real heroes in mountain climbing.. whether it is Kilimanjaro or Everest.. ❤ from sri lanka..
They have nickname in Swahili called Wagumu(more than stronger)
@@rubberbandman1213 lol, we have this one called *fungaroho* meaning *capturing souls*😂 he's been doing this job for more than 30 years. if you see him then relate him to his name, you'll have all pictures of hell😂😂 in fact he's very social, tho ive never climbed the mountain.🇹🇿

I don't know why. but i teared up at the end of this. Just one hell of a youtube video. makes you realize how small we all are on this planet and how time is so valuable. great job.
No words...
This was beautifully shot, brilliantly edited, and i truly believe it was your Magnum Opus.
I already wanted to climb this beast but this video series has convinced me I have to do it for my self and it looks like Kiliwarriors is the way to go!
Thank you Alex and thank you to Kiliwarriors for this work of art
Thank you!!! Really appreciate your kind words
My country my proudness....!!! Tanzania, welcome again wakuu...!!🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🙌🙌🙌
Those glaciers on the way up are stunning, it's like a wall of ice in the middle of the desert, looks so surreal.
It was very bizarre and fascinating. Very quiet.
Been around for millions of years, but will be gone in a few years.
@@sdpinoy That would be false.
It's like the northern wall in G.O.T
@@johnperic6860 Yeah, but all the Tanzanian icebears died from warming back in 2012! /S
Finally
Haha! Hope you enjoyed! Sorry for the wait but lots of great footage to play with and wanted to make it the best I could! - Alex

Thank you for sharing. What a remarkable hike!
Abundance of Blessings to all. Including your mom.
Enjoyed this. Brought back memories. I can relate to the Diamox issue. ha-ha. Climbed the western breach route about 16 yrs. ago. The glaciers at the top have shrunk a lot since my hike.
Unfortunately, that's what all the guides said about the glaciers as well. Glad we could bring back some memories!
@@vagabrothers Sublimation, but recovery has started.
Bravo Vegabrothers Alex ,amazing vlog after 3 years I was able to watch it ,God bless 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Yes! It's here!
Hope you enjoyed!
@@vagabrothers Immensely. Thanks again.
Brilliant!!! You can do anything you put your mind to. Thank you for this wonderful informative video. From Kenya
The best TH-cam videos I seen in a week.
kilimanjaro seemed to have , the entire earth's atmosphere in one spot. I would not know that if, it was not due to your informative and educational videos. I just wanted to hug that ice glescio, before it all gone.
The series was awesome, Carlos hit it on the head - climbing a mountain is rewarding in any way. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. May she climb her mountain, too!
I noted, while you were in the tent commenting on your stomach problems and dehydration the porters were strategizing( in kishwahili) on how to get you some water !! They are grossly underpaid!!
They do that for a living and they know when to abandon whitey and when to help him. If you think they are underpaid you are welcome to chip in a few pounds.
They get tipped very well.
DigitalAwareness not that well
Great video footage and edition, but what an awesome comment Mringi. It is not just that they are underpaid and overworked. These porters are part of a colonialist industry that takes advantage of their work and throws only crumbs at them. People like these bros make amazing videos and profit out of them, together with the owners of the tour operators that are mostly from western countries. In the meantime, porters don't have a decent salary or a humane place to sleep or proper food to eat. The maker of this video comes to a moment of realization where he seems to realize the meaning of life. However, that realization doesn't even touch on the awful way these porters are treated or his damn white privilege At least he had the courtesy to say thank you to those brave porters. The moment the porters become the center of these video adventures, both in practice and in theory, is the moment that the hiking industry becomes sustainable. In the meantime, keep using the porters for the nice footage.
They are at work vringi
Everyone needs these kinds of journeys in their lives - especially westerners; a get outta of yourselves time.
Cheers from Alberta, Western Canada..
Fantastic filmmaking and storytelling especially when expressing that no journey is made alone!!!

Intense photography and video, paired with an intense respect for the Kili Warriors and the stunning natural surroundings made for a moving experience! Thank You
What an experience you guys had! This is such a great video and your message hit home.
Aw guys, you moved me to tears with these 2 videos. Stunning!!! Definately on my bucket list now. THANK YOU
The highest mountain in Africa,, your welcome Tanzania to climb mountain Kilimanjaro
Glad you enjoyed Kili.. you can also visit the Serengeti for the best wildlife experience and Zanzibar for the historic sites and beautiful beaches.. Karibu Tanzania!🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
We've been to the Serengeti before but many years ago. Did you see the Tarangire National Park Safari video?
Alex.. Your art refects you as a person.. You are a true poet!! Thank you and your brother for giving us the best...
Stunning video.... beautiful view left and right. Thank you for bringing this to us who unable to go there by ourselves.
And those porters are super human.... Seriously....
I know how hard it is to take the time to shoot pictures/video when you can barely breathe at high altitude. You and Carlos did an amazing job...and, OMG! you even busted out the drone for the crater shots. Fantastic storytelling, compelling video and terrific message. Loved the shout out to Jill. Congratulations on making it to the 19,341' summit after the dehydrating trek to the crater at 18,600! That took monster effort I'm sure! Awesome, Alex!
Stumbled upon your video - part 1 - and just kept on watching. Very well presented, really good videography and so happy you pay tribute to the great local warriors as well.
Your closing comments about the meaning I can only underscore......I summited Kili twice.......once with other adults in the family. And then I asked my kids, if they ever wanted to experience this magical place in Africa they should let me know when they'd be old enough.
Two of my three did and I accompanied them up Kili when they were in their upper teenage years and we lived the dream together. I am so grateful to the place, the people there and to my kids for having joined me.
Now I have to check out what other trips you have taken.................Stefan
Many thanks for this video. I never realised the mountain was so vast.
The porters have amazing stamina, having a dance before the rigours of the day and especially in the thin air!
Fantastic - Stupendous - Soul Stirring!
Thank you for taking us along! 👍
Great all around! Loved the shout out to your Mom who gave you the passion to travel and I am sure appreciated the “never give up” attitude!
One of the best Kilimanjaro videos we have ever seen at Tribal Tourist. You chose a hard route so EPIC effort. The magic of the ice falls. 100% Adventure Africa.
Wow, this has left me in tears. Well done!!! And all the best to your mom.
Wow....I'm speechless! What a great journy! So pround of you Alex 👏👏👏
Absolutely incredible Alex! Beautiful work and congrats on the summit! This is so inspiring and really can make anyone want to instantly put on those boots and unplug with nature anyway possible.
Also sending lots of light and love to you and your mom ❤
Thank you Leah!!! Really appreciate it!

Just returned from hiking Kilimanjaro. The Kiliwarrior team was simply amazing, had to come back and rewatch your video, was nice to see familiar faces!
AFRICA IS SO BEAUTIFUL
You capture the spirit of Africa so well (aren't those guys something else?!) Excellent cinematography and narration. I've been on a number of stunning hikes in South Africa and so now I climbed Kilimanjaro vicariously thanks to you guys!
This was truly beautiful, thank you for taking us in this journey

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well done Alex, in many ways. You brought back many fond memories of my climb many years ago - the beauty, the simplicity and the challenge. If forces you to grab and rip all of your internal energy and strength to your body surface to reach the summit. A day that I will never forget. What beautiful visual stimulation to bring back such raw and positive emotions. Well done!
FROM TANZANIA. I LOVE UR DETAILED VIDEO OF OUR COUNTRY MOUNTAIN.
karibu Tanzania
This made me so happy. I’d love to do a half Ironman, Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, etc. in life. Congratulations Alex:) This is amazing, and shout out to everyone who helped you along the way, it doesn’t go unnoticed
Thanks for this gorgeous journey Alex
Amazing! You are blessed to live such a life (traveling, meeting people). Love your videos, you do things some of us only dream of. Thank you.
What?! The glacier is expected to be gone by 2025!?! We have to move this adventure sooner than we expected! Thanks for inspiring us and producing a great video!
Exquisitely Beautiful and Stunning Indeed.

This journey is magical!! I am glad I stumbled across your channel! 💯 totally deserves more subs!
Best Kilimanjaro video so far, thanks
You guys are absolutely amazing! I cannot wait to see the next video!!
incredible vlog, this is a piece of art in every way
Thank you for great VDO I love this place KILIMANJARO
Love the africa series.. Thanks for taking us up there to see the gorgeous breathtaking view guys! The best vlog ive ever seen 😢👏
Thats a great video. Great job Alex !!!
Thank you Sami!
Your words from 9:30 to 10:50 as you stood by the evaporating Glacier made me emotional.
Be very sad to see all those centuries of ice eventually disappear.
Thank you for taking us along to the peak of my favorite mountain as most of us would never ever climb it let alone see it with our own eyes.
Thank you.
Best video so far on kilimanjaro
Beautiful! Congrats on conquering on ur mountain. Continue to climb❤️
Now my 10 year old is hooked. Amazing video. Keep it up
What a soulful and inspiring passage at the end of the video!! Amazing! Superb shots!
Great job at climbing that summit. Keep the positivity. We are following your journey
Alex! What an experience!!! Thank you so much for documenting it .🤗 These videos tug at me...they make me want to abandon my life and see the world.❤️
Good job congrats!!!
Thank you!
This production is simply sublime. The flow of the entire video was spot on, showing the many terrains that awaits every hiker. To come here speaks of great will power and perseverance, plus an excellent team of porters and guides to support you. The days spent on the mountain proved crucial to acclimatize and rest the body between breaks. Adequate nutrition is also vital for the energy needed to accomplish the mission. Insya Allah, I be there in 2020 - Hisham from Malaysia
Great climb, great video, great effort, Thank You for sharing. Loved it
Thank you...excellent landscapes, that's how I met you for the first time, Greetings from here, Argentina...."✌
