Mt Kilimanjaro Full Moon Climb (Sep 2023) – 8 Days Lemosho Route.

My bucket list destination to climb one of the 'Seven Summits' – Mount Kilimanjaro. This is a video of my full moon climb (on summit ascent) via the Lemosho Route in 8 days. It covers the entire trip from lodge to lodge, capturing the descent too (unlike most videos that don't) and passing through Moshi town. Find out if I made it or not... While I initially intended to vlog the climb, I decided to 'live the journey' and enjoy the trek instead of narrating/reporting every step of the way. Hence, there is minimum live narration. Some commentary are post-production. No stock footage/photos used in my video. In composing this video, I resisted chopping too much off the tons of original footage as this also serves as a personal record/memory of the climb. I believe a long journey could not be condensed in a short 15mins video. A big shout-out to my amazing climber friends in the team featured in the video! _Also check out my photo video of my Everest Base Camp trek in 2018, witnessing the Mani Rimdu Festival at Tengboche:    • Everest Base Camp Trek 2018 (18 days)   TOUR OPERATOR: Many thanks to the fantastic team from ‪@FollowAlice‬ for their awesome service from pre-climb planning to on-the-ground crew support.
