Cold camp in the carter at top of Mt Kilimanjaro. 1" of snow in night . Stomach better after a cold night. Thick clouds so couldn't see much . Climbed out of the crater in the fog to Stella Pt (5795m) and then down the scree to Barafu camp (2 hrs total) . Lunch there then down to mweka . getting warmer all the way down . Found a beer on sale at 3800m so Mike and I enjoyed that (only $3 !). Continued on down to 3100m and Mweka camp. Knees Ok after only 2695m of descent ! Slept well !

ahr:140

High altitude actvities such as toothbrushing, stuffing sleepingbag in stuffsack, rolling up Thermarest mat , going for a sh*t ,all of which at above 18,000 feet of altitude are extreme exertion and leave one panting and out of breath . (Note : this entry is limited to above 18,000 above mean sea level)

Kili day 6 : Barafu Hut 4600 m to Stella Pt (5790m) to Summit of Kilimanjaro 5895 m - highest point of Africa then down to camp at Crater camp 5700 m .

High winds during night at Barafu demolished tents of other groups . Our tent held up in 40 to 60 mph winds. Delayed our summit attempt til a 10:30 am start because of high wind gusts which were blowing us off our feet . Set off for the sumitt at 10:30 am ... long grind up higher and higher in the clouds and wind. Hit the wall at 5200 m , strong nausea but kept going to reach the summit 5895 meters at 15:59 hrs with Mike C and Dave H. Saw awesome glaciers through the clouds. Cold so stayed only a few minutes at the summit prior to quick descent to crater camp at 5700 meters were we spent a cold night , less wind but 1" of snow fell in night. Extreme camping !
