I will try to climb the rooftop of Africa - mt. Kilimanjaro by the Northern Circuit route - the longest of the established routes but it has the advantage of being much less crowded than the other ones and good for acclimatization. Let's see how that goes for me! 🏔️ C l i m b K i l i m a n j a r o w i t h F o l l o w A l i c e : https://bit.ly/followalicekili @FollowAlice - Follow Alice's YouTube channel Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano, it is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest single free-standing mountain above sea level in the world. Mt. Kilimanjaro is my second mountain out of the seven highest peaks of the world (links for the videos from mt. Elbrus below :) 📍 More videos: /watch/kBNK0HXfUOkfK - Mount Elbrus Russia | Full experience of Summit Climb (South route) /watch/MpVRWY8xkjtxR - Climbing the highest peak of Russia & Europe | Mt Elbrus by the North route /watch/k6GzDVbMZdFMz - Hiking in the Ural Mountains & visiting Europe / Asia border 📍https://elinabakunova.com/russianclub - my Russian Speaking Club where you can practice the Russian language.

    @deannalatorre4772منذ 2 سنوات Thanks for taking me back to Africa. I climbed Kili over 20 years ago. It was surreal. Twenty years ago there was much more snow (glaciers) at the top. id="hidden2" class="buttons"> So happy you made it to the top. Three of us made it to the top out of four. What an experience! Congratulations. ....وسعت 36

    @bron-sconcess.10منذ 2 سنوات Dear Eli, you all deserve a medal!
    Watching this seems to prove a theory I have, i.e. when you get cold, the bodies resources are concentrated id="hidden3" class="buttons"> in keeping your core warm, leaving you immunologically vulnerable and giving the cold virus a chance!!!
    It didn't look easy; well done, you survived!

    @parkerholden7140منذ 2 سنوات A memorable moment in my life. What amazed me the most was the robust, tough weight lifter that was a basket case and the little, slender diminutive female id="hidden6" class="buttons"> that the wind was about to blow off the mountain chugging right to the top from Hebo Camp with no problem. It is all about how your body handles the altitude! A great video from a great traveler. ....وسعت 30

    @claraisely9397منذ 2 سنوات This was epic, Eli. I am not a mountain climber, but I did spend 5 days in an amazing cave. It took us 18 hours to descend and crawl our way to the base id="hidden15" class="buttons"> camp. We (6 of us) spent 3 days cleaning a gorgeous area of this famous wild cave that had been damaged by previous expeditions. We all carried 60 pound packs and carried out everything we brought in including our waste. I loved every minute of this adventure. It took us 24 hours to climb out and the sun was such a delight when we finally were out, safe and sound. We were several hours past our scheduled time and they almost sent in a rescue team! This was my ultimate life adventure. You might try caving next. The caving community is very welcoming. Love your videos. You have made me love Russia and wish I was younger to travel there. Blessings from NH, USA ....وسعت 7

    @Terence.1منذ 2 سنوات Eli, have you heard of the Four Corners? It's where Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico meet. That region is beautiful beyond belief, the best of id="hidden19" class="buttons"> the American Southwest. Incredible hiking and tent camping . striking serene natural beauty and the ancient native American cliff dwellings of the Anasazi. Mesa Verde in Colorado is a great example . Also the current home of the Navajo, Hopi, Zuni and Apache. I would love to carry the heavy stuff for you and be your guide if, if. I can dream right? Something tells me you would love it. Would make for some incredible videos that's for sure. Congratulations on another great video. You are sure to be a star, if that's what you want. You're unstoppable. ....وسعت 9

I will be attempting this in July 2023 and the final day will be on my birthday. id="hidden21" class="buttons"> I wanted to thank you for sharing this raw experience because it is YouTubers like you who better prepare future sumitters like me. Being sick is no joke and that is what I am mostly concerned about and not making it to the top. It's incredible what the human body and mind can do in situations like those and I hope I am able to be successful just like you were despite the challenging days. Best of luck with your future adventures!! ....وسعت 4

I felt emotional at the end, not only because of you but because watching you id="hidden22" class="buttons"> reminded me of some of my own adventures going into the world and how much i would like to go back to someday. I love that you turn your camera away from the landscape for a moment to look back to the people that is travelling with you, the ones you meet and the ones that shared that experience with you thats what make this more beautiful. and also those incredible landscapes of course! My favourite one the sunset (or sunrise?) above the clouds where you are sitting to the left on a rock. ....وسعت 2

    @rossrichardson7232منذ 2 سنوات I suspect that you have returned to Russia by the time this was published. It was a wonderful video and I see that this trip meant a lot for you with your id="hidden33" class="buttons"> emotions at the end. Congratulations on finishing the adventure. A trip like this is probably 60% emotions and 40% physical. You did great. I have been to Tanzania, and Kenya, on a camera safari and saw Kilimanjaro from a distance. I suspect some of the health issues you experienced was altitude sickness. I used to do recreational flying. The rules were to be on oxygen over 12,500 feet. And a lot of pilots will be on it over 8,000 feet. You never mentioned or showed anyone on oxygen on this trip. Again, congratulations and waiting on you next video. ....وسعت 12

If you like this type of trip you would like the Grand Canyon id="hidden41" class="buttons"> in Arizona, where it is not so high and there is a lot more air to breathe, with a hike down to the river before the climb back up. If you want altitude, another great place is Machu Picchu in Peru, where you can see the ancient roads and constructions of the Incas. Great video production, as always. ....وسعت 3
