5th Annual Update in Altitude and Expedition Medicine
5th Update in Altitude and Expedition Medicine -
Arusha, Tanzania and Mt Kilimanjaro
Booked Out but see Group Two Link
24th June 2012 – 5th July 2012
In 2012 join MOTE for our 5th annual update in Altitude and Expedition Medicine, the academic content of which will be reinforced by our participation in one of the world’s greatest high altitude treks. We have decided to return to Mt Kilimanjaro due to overwhelming demand. We are initially planning a maximum of 29 delegates and anticipate that this trip will fill up very quickly so an early booking is recommended.
We have chosen to climb Kili by the 7B Shira route. This is a longer route involving 7 nights on the mountain. This will really give you a feel for the expedition environment as well as allow extra time for optimal acclimitisation so as to maximise your summit success. This route also keeps us somewhat out of synch with the more popular and shorter routes so as to avoid the “crowds”. To add to the magic we have picked a Full Moon night for our summit attempt. This is the same route we walked in 2008 and we believe it is probably the best route on the mountain.
5th Annual Update in Altitude and Expedition Medicine - Group Two
5th Update in Altitude and Expedition Medicine
– Arusha, Tanzania and Mt Kilimanjaro
24th June 2012 – 6th July 2012
Our Kilimanjaro trip has booked out despite still being nearly 18 months away. Given that we are still getting an enormous amount of interest in this meeting we have decided to schedule a 2nd group. Group Two will attend the same classroom based sessions in Arusha as Group One but will have an additional rest day in Arusha whilst Group One departs for the start of the trek. Group Two will then climb the mountain one full day behind Group One. Group Two will have it's own complement of guides, cooks, porters and facilitators. They will not meet the Group one participants again until their summit day when they will cross paths with them as they descend from their hopefully successful summit attempt of the night before.
There are only 29 delegate positions available and given the high level of interest so far we anticipate that this group will fill up just as quickly so an early booking is recommended. Logistically we could not run a third group.
