Equipment

Choosing the right equipment for a tip like this is crucial. Not saying that it will make the climb any easier it will just make it more comfortable. I am not talking about lying in a warm bed on a cold night comfortable but rather being dry after a pouring shower, not getting blisters all over your feet or simply avoiding hypothermia on the night of your ascent.

This equipment guide is divided in sections where I will specifically describe what you will need and why. I may not have a guides experience with Kilimanjaro but I'm born and raised in Norway and have had my share of cold winters and I urge you to follow some of my simple clothing guidelines.
