More News From SAVE THE CHILDREN Expedition To Summit Of Mt Kilimanjaro
March 11: Every big mountain has its own challenges and its own weather. Our climbers encountered both on Mt. Kilimanjaro today, emerging tired but undaunted. They overcame the steep slope and rocks of the mountain’s toughest terrain – terrain likened to a giant stone staircase and one that teases all climbers with a tantalizing view of the summit – in their last big test before reaching Africa’s highest point on Friday morning. They began in sun and ended the day in snow and sharp cold at Crater Camp, some 18,500 feet above sea level. “Everyone hung in there and made it,” said Donovan Cook, Save the Children’s trek leader, making his fourth ascent. “But it was a very, very grueling effort.”
