Gonna take some time to do the things we never have

How many of you have ever climbed Kilimanjaro? Nuf said! Bunch of lame arse morons in this thread.

I have some friends that are climbing it this summer. I met them a few years ago climbing in Peru. Well one of them gave me the schedule of their hiking days. I quickly said "no." You hike on a normal schedule, but the last day you start at like 2am, get there around 6am, stay an hour, then hike back down for 8 hours. F that. But props to her, I wanna go to Kilimanjaro.

Presumably you have a 2-3 week vacation every year. A others have said, it's not that expensive. If you have other priorities, that's fine, but just say that instead of implying that it's not possible for you. A postal worker has climbed Everest. If there's enough want to, there's usually a way.

I only have state holidays off.

Nothing at 19k feet is a joke or a walk in the park. It is not a technical climb, more like an extremely long ascending hike at altitude.
You definitely need to be in shape. Most people hike for 7 days to summit.
Good for her!

7 days is SLOW. 19k feet really isn't that bad. Quit acting like you know when you don't.

It's not a technical climb, but the altitude isn't trivial.
And it is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. The distances involved aren't insignificant.
ETA: 5 to 9 days is normal for Kibo.
