“Erg positief, goede instructies, professioneel advies en persoonlijke ervaringen. Ik heb dankzij jullie helemaal geen hoogteziekte gehad, dat doel is bereikt. Door een kuitblessure helaas niet de top gehaald.”
Klein verbeterpuntje: iets duidelijker de maten vermelden, dit hadden wij over het hoofd gezien. We hebben het gehaald en zonder problemen, eerste dag geslapen op 3400 meter zonder noemenswaardige problemen....

Uhuru Peak sits at 5,895 m, where only about 10% oxygen remains. Most climbers who miss the summit fail because of altitude sickness, not fitness. Six weeks of sleeping at altitude at home changes that.
The trek to Everest Base Camp (5,364 m) keeps you above 3,500 m for two weeks. Those already acclimatised at home enjoy the trek from Namche Bazaar instead of surviving it.
The highest mountain outside Asia: 6,961 m, cold and dry. Every week of preparation counts here. Start five to seven weeks ahead and build up slowly.
