We did it. All 7 of us made it to Uhuru Summit, 5,895 meters in the sky. It was not an easy climb, 6 out of the 7 of us were very sick from the altitude. On summit night, we left at 12 am to start the climb to the summit. We climbed for seven hours, most of us throwing up and almost passing out the entire way, but we made it to the summit at 7:30 am, a little after sunrise. It was beautiful. It is truly one of the most amazing feelings to each the top and look out above the clouds. I have never been more exhausted, I wanted to quit the entire time. But I just kept going, one step at a time, and finished.
Here are some pics from our incredible journey.
