It will be a tough challenge. The first section of the trail consists of a rocky path to Hans Meyer point (5250m). The path then zigzags up to Gillman’s point (5681m) on the crater rim. This section is very steep with much scree. From Gillman’s Point, we could encounter snow all the way up to Uhuru peak (5895m), the highest point in Africa. Weather conditions on the summit will determine how long we will be able to spend, taking photographs before the 3 hours descent back to Kibo Hut. After a short rest, we gather all the gear we left behind for the ascent and head down to Horombo Hut. Later in the evening, we enjoy our last dinner on the mountain and a well-earned sleep.
