Part 5 of our Kilimanjaro Mini-Series is all about Monitoring, because if it can’t be measured, it can’t be managed. In this episode, Martin breaks down how tracking influenced every decision on the Machame route up Kilimanjaro, from weather calls to recovery and how smart data kept the team safe and performing well.

What to expect in this episode:

🏔️ Forecast vs. reality: using mountain forecasts, local guide insight, and maps to plan pace, layers, and risk

🏔️ Wearables at altitude: interpreting smart Watch/Ring data, including heart rate, HRV, sleep, steps, elevation, SpO₂ and why understanding your baseline matters

🏔️ Altitude effects: why early metrics can look “worse,” how adaptation shows up by days 3–5, and what stayed normal even during summit symptoms

🏔️ Fuel & fluids by the numbers: practical ways to monitor hydration, meals, and snacks when apps are offline

🏔️ Kit checks & contingencies: daily equipment audits, dry-bag systems, paper maps, spare power, and the insurance details high-altitude trips actually require

🏔️ Correlations between managing expedition monitoring and business KPIs for better, faster decisions in all areas of your business and life

👉 Listen in to see how data-driven decisions enable safer climbs, stronger bodies and successful businesses.

📍 This episode is part of a 6-part Kilimanjaro series, covering mindset, meals, movement, moderation, monitoring, and the method that made the climb possible.
