climb update:
Rongai Route 6 days (01.03. – 06.03.)
Day 5: Kibo Hut (4,700 m) to Uhuru Peak (5,895 m) to Horombo Hut (3,700 m)
Congratulations Corina & Jochen .They all made it to the Roof of Africa – well done on this great achievement! 🔝👏 Thank you to our amazing crew for taking them up and safely back down again!
ℹ️ The summit attempt starts around mid-night, while the ground is still frozen, to reach Uhuru Peak by sunrise. By torchlight, climbers make their way through the night and to Gillman’s Point (5,715m) on the crater’s edge. From here the last stretch takes them to the highest point Uhuru Peak. Enjoying the first sunlight along the way and the celebratory moment at the top, climbers and guides make their way back to Kibo Hut for breakfast and a short rest before descending further to Horombo Hut.
