On the way, we went through "Stela Point (5756m)," and kept going
to the summit.
From Stela Point to the summit was just 139m!! But at the high altitude area,
|
this 139m was so difficult for us that we couldn't walk fast...
As we kept going up, the dawn had come.
|
The Supecial Sunrise from about 6000m high!!
During the night, it was very very cold, as we almost got frozen,
|
but the morning sun cheered me from the back strongly and warmly.
|
The colouron the glacier from the morning sun was very beautiful!!
Year after year, the glacier gets smaller and smaller because of the global
warming...
|
I could see Mt. Meru
on the right from the glacier.
|
It looks like the glacier of Antarctica.
Wow!!
|
|
We walked pass by some groups that made it to the summit before us.
The victory was near!! At the back of the summit, we could see the beautiful full moon.
---------- Uhuru Peak (5895m) --------- |
Six and half hours after we left, I made it to "Uhuru Peak,"
the highest peak of African continent and one of the 7 summits in the world!! Hooray!!
|
Way to go, Team Raha!!
From the far left, Tammy, me, Franziska, and Harold. I looked like a dwarf...
xD

※ Porters and cooks didn't climb to the summit.
To be continued!! |
