Music for the Mountain - A Bit of Fun


The last day of the Kilimanjaro climb is up to 16 hours dependant on a number of factors one being suffering from Acute Mountain Sickness. As a group we have agreed we won’t use IPODs or MP3s until this day.
We will be climbing in the dark in with head torches and I am going to need some uplifting mountain music. I am there for trying to create a play list for the last day. I reckon I need about 300 songs to cover the time.  So far I have the following:  

Ain’t no mountain high enough, by Diana Ross
River Deep Mountain High, by Ike and Tina Turner
Kilimanjaro by Johnny Clegg and Savuka
Down Down, by Status Quo
Stairway to Heaven, by Led Zeppelin's
Move any Mountain, by The Shamen
The only way is up, by YAZZ
Up on the Roof - Kenny Lynch
Reach for the Stars, by S Club Seven
The Climb, by Joe McElderry
Don't Stop me Now, by Queen
500 miles, by the Proclaimers
It's a Long Way to Tipperary
I've looked at clouds from both sides now, by Joni Mitchell

Any suggestions are gratefully accepted.

  1. Hi Aaron,
    Fats Domino's "I'm Walkin'" and "Blueberry Hill"
    will certainly be on my list.
    Take care Ralph
