About I Climbed Kilimanjaro

What the register is

Every entry is one climber, one morning on the summit. An entry records the climber's name, the country they travelled from, the date and time they stood on the summit, the route they walked up, the guide and operator who took them there, and a photo if they have one. Entries are grouped by the morning they happened, so each summit date has its own page.

There are three summit points on Kilimanjaro, and the register keeps them apart: Uhuru Peak at 5,895 m, Stella Point at 5,756 m and Gilman's Point at 5,685 m. Which one you reached decides the tier of your entry, explained on gold or green.

Who keeps it

The register is kept by MyKilimanjaro, the shop behind the Uhuru Peak summit sign keepsakes. Entries are read and approved by hand before they appear — nothing is published automatically. The register is not run by Tanzania National Parks, and nothing here is an official TANAPA or KINAPA certificate.

Why it exists

About 35,000 people set out for the summit each year and roughly two thirds reach it. Those summits are scattered across private photo albums and social feeds and then disappear. The register puts them in one place, in date order, so a morning on the mountain is still findable years later — by the climber, by the people they climbed with, and by the guide they credit.

What it costs

Nothing. Adding an entry is free and needs no account. Every published entry comes with a free printable keepsake certificate carrying that climber's own name, date, route and guide. The only thing sold anywhere near this register is the physical summit sign keepsake in the MyKilimanjaro shop.

What it will not do

The register never fetches, scrapes or re-hosts a photo from a social platform — climbers supply their own photo. Email addresses given with an entry are used to reach that climber about their entry and are never published or sold.
