June 6, 2012 in Tanzania ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

6 June Day 4: Saddle Hut to Summit (Socialist Peak 4,566m) descent to Miriakamba Hut.
We start early at around 2 a.m. to climb steeply to Rhino Point (3,800m), continuing along an undulating ridge of ash and rock to reach Cobra Point (4,350 m) at sunrise. The views are stunning: the cliffs of the Crater rim, the Ash Cone rising from the Crater floor, Kilimanjaro floating on the morning clouds and west towards the Rift Valley, if the weather is clear.Read more
