Twenty-four time Emmy award winner Preston Rudie takes you up the Lemosho Western Breach to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest free standing mountain in the world. Considered the most dangerous and challenging route, along the way Preston explains his personal reasons for why he decided to climb to the Roof of Africa. With guides from Kiliwarrior Expeditions leading the way, Conquering Kili takes you through the Rainforest, the Heather and Moreland Zones and stops at Lava Tower, Arrow Glacier Camp and Furtwangler Glacier before reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro at 19,341 feet.
In this documentary, which features some breathtaking drone video, you will also hear what hikers can do to help ensure they make it to the top of Kili. You will also learn how American mountaineer Scott Fischer left his imprint on Kilimanjaro, before he unfortunately lost his life on Mount Everest in 1996. Fischer’s death is highlighted in the New York Times bestseller Into Thin Air, which is the basis for the 2015 Hollywood movie Everest staring Jake Gyllenhall and Josh Brolin.
With a run time of 24 minutes, Conquering Kili will give viewers a good look at what is takes to climb Tanzania’s dormant volcano. Packed with a lot of educational information about Kilimanjaro, the documentary also includes a touching post credits scene.
