At this extreme
altitude, many pedestrians suffer from stomach problems, but the terrain is
hazardous for climbers when nature calls. Unfortunately, in the narrow beam of
my headlamp, I noticed things I did not wish for, with hands scattered between
the warmer and the tissues carelessly leaving. Going was harder than I imagined
- my hands and feet were painfully numb, my head shook, my water bottle and
camera battery froze, and nausea made me better at times.
What
Could Be Your Experience on Kilimanjaro
But after Climbing Mount
Kilimanjaro, the most spectacular sunrise I have
ever seen, we stood, agitated, on the summit in the loose moons, surrounded by
thousands of boot prints, somehow rippling the wind. There was nothing to clear
the skies over us. The glaciers still flashed blue against the pink horizon, as
we waited our turn for a photograph in front of the iconic summit sign.

There was nothing to clear the skies over us. The glaciers still flashed blue
against the pink horizon, as we awaited our turn for a picture in front of the
iconic hilltop sign. I didn’t fully appreciate the value of our route in order
to avoid the crowds until our descent.
