Zoracle what's the sitch on this trip?

Zoracle How do you unfollow a trip? I just got back from summitting Kilimanjaro and although I made it, high altitude does NOT agree with my body's naturally low saturation rate, so I am out for Everest.

Zoracle Okay, all is booked, if anyone else would like to join, please let me know and I can add on. The climb begins on Jan 13th, summitting on the 20th during the full moon. I'm going along the Lemosho Trail with Zara Tours for about $1900. I think the price goes down if we add more people though, so let me know.

Todd Hi guys. We're getting more and more spam from tour operators on here, which in one respect can be helpful, but we're worried if we allow one tour operator, then it will open the flood gates. Anyway, if there are a couple/few of you interested to climb Kili this season, let me know and maybe we can work on getting you a Globetrooper discount. Maybe in return for a couple of guest blog posts afterwards on GT they'll give you a significant discount. Just a thought. So if anyone's interested, make it know so we can get rough numbers, then if you have any operators in mind, we can contact them on behalf of GT and offer them some exposure in exchange for a discount.

Zoracle I'm finally ready to book the climb and airfare. You get a discount for booking in groups. Is there anyone else def interested in going? If so, feel free to post here or call live: 323-481-9033

Zoracle I'm in the same boat as many. I'd love to get up there and definitely could get in the physical shape needed, but it's the money part that would be tough. Still, i want to keep the idea open and hear what others have to say

Skylar Givens I'm considering climbing Kili if the timing works with my Aconcagua plans. I'm comfortable climbing without a guide and hiring local porters. Do you plan to hire a guide?

Lauren Hey guys, if you haven't seen already, you can win a trip for 2 to Kilimanjaro here: http://www.polarmax.com/lodge/kilimanjaro You must be a resident of the States though.

Jebbert what does this cost cover? Is it just a cost for food and what not when climbing?
