Well I still haven’t heard anymore from any of the team since yesterday morning. However they should have walked accross the lunar desert of the saddle between Mawenzie and Kibo which, is very barren and probably the day I found most difficult when I attempted Kilimanjaro. They will camp at Kibo at the bottom of the crater wall which is 4700m (15,400ft) and the last camp before the summit. I also remember buying a glass bottle of coca cola which tasted great I just didn’t envy the poor people who had to carry it that far!
Hopefully they have all had an early night in preperation for the summit attempt to Gilmans point for sunrise and then onto Uhuru Peak 5895m (19,395ft).

I have got everything crossed for them, I know how difficult they will have found it both physically and mentally. If you are going to donate then please do it ASAP knowing how hard the team are trying!!

Lets hope that those who try make it to the top!

Good Luck you Rhino Maniacs!
