Habitat: Semi-desert

Following an early morning breakfast, we left the moorland environment and enter the semi desert and rocky landscape. After 5 hours of walking east, we we came face to face with the Lava Tower (4630m) where we had lunch.

After lunch, we descended from Lava Tower (4630m) to the Barranco Campsite (3950m). The 6800m descent gave us a huge advantage to allow our bodies to adjust to the conditions of high altitude.

Living in the tents are no very comfortable.Leer más

Day 5 Karanga Camp (3959m) – Barafu Hut (4600m)

Hiking time: 2-3 hours

Distance: Approximately 4 kilometers

Habitat: Alpine desert

Back up to 4600m. The trail intersects with the Mweka Route, which is the trail used to descend on the final two days. The word “barafu” in Swahili means “ice” and this camp is located on a rocky, exposed ridge. Tents will be exposed to wind and rocks.

The food was always interesting and it's unbelievable what the chef can dish up. This is after 5 days of walking and all has to be carried

In bed by 1900.Leer más

Day 6 Ascent : Uhuru Peak - Barafu camp

Uhuru Peak (5895m) – Batavia camp (4600m)

We started the walk down the glazier, the snow very quickly became slippery as the sun came through the clouds. After Stella Point we were back to the rocky road in between the icy islands.With-in half an hour it all converted into a slope of dusty volcanic ash which was a slippery as the skiing slope

Started the climb at 00:00, summited at 06:03, back at Barack 1146Leer más
