Kilimanjaro - Day 6

Woke up at midnight to start for the summit.  Super cold.  Tough day.  Very steep climb on loose rock. Got up to the summit right at dawn.  What beautiful spectacular views.  The glaciers were amazing and we were afforded views of Mt. Meru, just peaking out above the cloud line.  You can see the curvature of the earth at this height.  Simply breathtaking.

Morning time, on our way, super cold, brrrrrrrrrr


Once you get to Gilman's, you know you have the summit locked down


Almost there


Getting closer


Nailed it
