Inge Kartveit of Bergen, Norway, has planned a trip of great deal symbolic importance to him. Inge’s wife fought with cancer for years, and last January she lost the fight. Inge Kartveit is now planning on climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with AWR one year after his wife tragically passed.
“Kili has been a target for me during my wife’s cancer illness, so one year after she lost the fight against cancer I would really like to be at the summit and make a sort of finalization of six very difficult years and telling myself that life does not end even if you have lost someone very close to yourself.”
We commend Inge for his brave trek of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and we wish him success on his summit attempt!

“Be in the very best physical shape you can be; this is something you have control of.”
“Do not to rush and if possible take the extra day on the mountain to help the acclimatization process.”

“Eat as much as you can, I do believe it can make a difference.”
“For Kili, I suggest paying a little extra for another porter to ensure yourself a private toilet.”
“If taking the the shuttle from Nairobi be sure you are prepared for a long trip in cramped quarters, hot and uncomfortable conditions. Give your self a full day in Moshi before starting the trek if taking shuttle.”
“Train, take an expedition bag, tip the help along the way, not just the end.”
“Pack as if you had to carry all of your clothes. Invest in high quality clothing that is made for trekking. Buy a day pack which will limit what you can bring with you.”
