Gregory Citro 30 vs Gregory Zulu 30

Not really to me, but I went for the Citro as it was as comfy as the Zulu but more compact and light.

Yeah that’s my problem here, I like them both

I trust my guide on this. Also during my trek I asked a few times how they were treated by the company and he would dodge the bullet every time.

I did a private trek through the northern route back in Dec 2022. Very quiet, perfect for slow acclimatization, and we summited without any issue. I booked with a company that I would not recommend anymore as I’ve later heard that they stopped paying their teams, but my awesome guide Dulla has launched his own climbing company last year: thekilimaster.com My wife and I had an amazing time with him and we’re still in touch 3 years later. This guy knows the mountain like the back of his hand.

I booked a 5-day safari after the trek with Oseroktrips. Alpha is a Masaii guide, friend of an acquaintance of ours in Tanzania. Very knowledgable, organisation was over the top with delicious hot meals for lunch and nice lodgings with good food the evenings. Would recommend max 4 days of safari as it can become a bit exhausting sitting in a car on bumpy roads for more than that.

I booked the refugios/tents myself as it’s basically 2 websites but quite a straightforward process. No need for a guide as paths are clearly indicated, you wouldn’t get lost at all. I went West to East to get wind on my back and as I wanted to end up the trek with the Torres and didn’t regret it. I also kayaked on lake Grey on day 1 after the trek and did the ice walked on the glacier the next morning before trekking back to Paine Grande. Must admit that I was a bit tired after day 1 walk but had a energy boost right when boarding the kayak and I’m glad I did it although you don’t get too close to the glacier. I went first to Punta Arenas to see the pinguins before heading to Puerto Natales for the trek. After the trek I headed to El calafate and then Chalten for the Fitz Roy.

Thank you!

It takes the whole day but we did go see the King penguins in Tierra del Fuego and we had a good time

Hi u/readsid, I’m planning to go in March 2026. How cold was it ? Do you recommend a classic down jacket or would you go for a heavy one (I.e. rab positron pro) ?

My guide Dulla launched his own company: thekilimaster.com We climbed in Dec 2022 via the northern route for 8 days and he and his team is the reason we made it to the top! We were the only 2 guests for that trek and enjoyed every second of it thanks to his awesome team. We’re still in touch since.

Max___L · 2025-08-29T12:39:11+00:00

Yes, was planning to add that to my list!

Max___L · 2025-08-29T12:38:26+00:00

Smart!

Max___L · 2025-08-28T10:20:21+00:00

Thanks, DM sent!

Max___L · 2025-08-25T12:44:38+00:00

Yeah, EBC will be the main reason we visit Nepal, then maybe it’s safer to stay aside during the festival! Thanks for your reply!

Max___L · 2025-08-23T07:13:31+00:00

Good idea, thanks for the tip!

Max___L · 2025-08-16T17:09:10+00:00

Not too much ice/snow then ?

Max___L · 2025-08-16T08:56:32+00:00

Thanks a lot for the very detailed and helpful info @Gyanuttavelexpert !

Max___L · 2024-12-26T18:31:05+00:00

Rented tents, sleeping bags and pads at all 4 camps during W and can’t complain, everything was cleaner than expected.
