Reached Summit of Kilimanjaro |

What can I say. A phenomenal achievement has been made by all! At 07h30 South African time, 24 of the 25 team of High Sight Expedition stood at the summit of Kilimanjaro, Uhuru Peak, Highest Mountain in Africa, largest volcano and the one of the closest point in the world to the sun.
In doing so, they broke a record of having 7 non sighted climbers at the summit. Beaming with pride and excitement they are now on their way down to Kibo Huts to join with Rusty, the 8th non-sighted climber, who had to turn back at Gilmans Point; a brilliant achievement in itself as the pull up to Gilmans is long and arduous. So, every climber will come home with a certificate in their bags, proving that anything is possible in life if you just put your mind to it. I chatted with Juma, head guide a short while ago – I am not sure who was more excited, the guides or the climbers. He says it is heavy going on the descent but all are well. Well done to all the climbers and the guides on the team, support staff of cooks and porters and for all of those that stayed behind sending love and support along the way. Thank you!
