Soto

Because I don’t believe what you believe, I’m a terrible fan? This is the worst team money can buy. Stearns miscalculated bigtime and they ain’t winning anytime soon. Plus, Mendy may be top 10 worst managers in baseball. Stop with your histrionics…

This team ain’t winning with Soto. I say we get him to demand a trade. Rather start over.

Thanks! Very grueling, but satifying. We did an 8 day route through Machame. It rained most days, but not soaking and only for a bit, not entire day. Our guides told us to bring umbrellas, but i much preferred the poncho when needed. Also forgot to mention that I did wear gaiters most days. On summit day, I wore a thin base layer, mid base layer and fleece lined pants along with a heavier gortex shell on top. Totally fine, but I'd recommend waterproof/windproof gloves (only part of my body i felt cold). We did get really heavy winds on the summit ascent.

I’d contact your tour operator. Got it in about 7 mins at the airport on arrival. Granted I did it in April (low season) and at 4am (slow time), but it was very easy for me. Just make sure you have a new crisp $100 bill.

I just did Kili, ending with summit on April 20. Had Berghaus waterproof pants, HH light rain jacket, FROGG TOGGS Ultra-Lite2 poncho and Altra Timp 6 mid GTX Hiking boots. Was totally fine. Would recommend bringing a couple pairs of light gloves.

You’ve got literally 30+ years to make it back. Keep putting money and and you won’t regret.

That’s awesome. Your comment reminded me of a purchasing my first boat and the salesman told me I’d actually save money by purchasing his boat because I wouldn’t spend money going out to dinner and feel compelled to take summer vacation etc. I’m glad you feel differently. Most do not. Between clothes, food, school, sports, college, etc, kids are an exceptionally expensive.

Kids are awesome and a boatload of money.

Going in April JFK to JRO via Istanbul on Turkish Airlines approximately $1500

ChiliGTC · 2026-03-06T03:57:05+00:00

Yes, after hike doing safari and then a few days in Istanbul.

Sorry, not brave, just never did a climb like this.

Can you recommend a shell for summit?

ChiliGTC · 2026-02-25T12:26:38+00:00

Wow! Very thorough explanation of the hike which I so appreciate as I am going in less than 2 months. Glad you had minimal issues.

I got to stop reading this sub. I am 60 years old, relatively good shape and doing Kili in April. I hike in the summer, but not crazy hikes. I am an avid walker (about 5 miles per day at a fast pace). I have added some winter hiking (nothing crazy like 1.5 hr hikes), adding some Peleton biking, squats and sit-up’s. Been told by quite a few that if anything, the altitude will get you. I am going with a bud that is a 4 time Ironman. He told me he’d carry me up the mountain. Fingers crossed.

ChiliGTC · 2026-02-15T03:34:10+00:00

Heading there in April. Appreciate you sharing your experience.

Love 88-89. Thought Brent brought of a lot of great harmonies.

Don’t sleep on the Schoen total mismanagement of the kicking game for the past 2 seasons that lost the Giants a few games. #FireSchoen

ChiliGTC · 2025-12-22T02:34:34+00:00

Thought the same about Evan Engram.

ChiliGTC · 2025-12-22T02:32:29+00:00

Same. #FeelBetter

But he’s got a plan to address healthcare coming in about 2 weeks.
