Éppen 9 éve jutottam fel a Kilire 😇
Following up on the last post with more details about the 48 hours ascent of one of the world’s highest mountains (Mt. Kilimanjaro, 5895 m).
The 26 trekkers (aged 29 to 65 years) used Wim Hof Method breathing techniques to keep their oxygen saturation greater than 90% during the 48 hours ascent.
At regular intervals, all trekkers participated in 30-minute breathing sessions and filled out a safety checklist based on the Lake Louis Scoring System (LLSS) to assess their Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). The results were remarkable.
First, the ascent is typically completed by 61% of trekkers and takes 4 to 7 days. Of our group, 92% completed the ascent (2 had to stop at 5681 m).
Second, the group reached the summit (5895 m) in only 48 hours.
Third, none of the trekkers had severe AMS nor reported symptoms of hypocapnia (reduced carbon dioxide in the blood).
None had used any method of prevention other than the training and techniques described above.
