In 1923, George Mallory, a British mountaineer, was asked by a reporter why he wanted to climb Mt. Everest. He simply answered 'Because it's there'. In June 1924, Mallory and his climbing partner Andrew Irvine, disappeared in the clouds near the summit of Mt. Everest. They never

Coming weekend, @limo_kipkemoi, Wang'oe Mtuhuru and I will visit India to explore 161km of trail through the mountains and paddy fields of Maharashtra. The trail has a total of about 8500M elevation gain. Cut off time is 48 hours. Freeman looks like he is ready. Limo is

Kairitu ka Dundori (A girl from Dundori) This was my first time climbing Mt. Meru (4,566M a.s.l). I did not give much thought to her or the challenge of exploring her. I thought she would be modest and kind. At least not arrogant. With the experience I had, I thought it would

I haven't been running much this year so I was under no illusions of my (in)abilities on this one. When you haven't prepared for a run you don't have a plan. You go with the flow. Limo's advise? Eat as much as you can at the support stations and continue walking. Only that there

One bag carried stuff that he needed on his approach to basecamp. The other one stuff he needed after arrival at basecamp. Collecting the soldier's bags. It still doesn't seem real.

Took sometime off. Beautiful road trips. #camping #Peace #recharge

#TBT The first time I attempted speed climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in one day was in March 2020. I started from Umbwe gate early morning and followed the route through Karanga and Barafu camps. I didn't know the route then and the guide could not keep up after Umbwe cave. I did not

After the first failed attempt in March, I went back in October 2020. Following the same route. This time I was more prepared and actually reached the summit. I had the second fastest (recorded) time from Umbwe gate to Uhuru peak through Karanga and Barafu camps. Then in

The struggle with the marathon distance yesterday was good feedback. I have a lot work to do in the coming 9 or so months. And yes, I will climb again. 8000er. How about we visit Pakistan for the next? #letsdothis #8000ers #letsmakememories #letsgo

Hapa na pale 🏍️. I am heading to Turkana for a run. I accepted the invite on condition that I will ride there. The Green Mule 🏍️ started misbehaving last week ; so I convinced the good people at African Motorcycle Tours to lend me one of their Kibo 250s. We were supposed to

#TBThursday August 2019, Khan Tengri basecamp (North). What do you do to keep yourself sane at basecamp when the weather is so bad you can't climb and you can't go home? And the stock of beer is depleted? You create a snowman and watch him get old. This was a good expedition!
