i did it
sorry for the lack of posts. been kinda busy.
a couple of weeks ago i successfully climbed mt kilimanjaro. i reached uhuru peak 5895 meters above sea level at 7.15 am. climbing the mountain was the hardes thing i have ever done, and not something i wish to do again. on my push to the summit i got cold to the point where my body was shutting down. i was freezing to the point where i was numb from my knees down and elbows down. i remember that i would swaet profusly after a cold blast of mountain air, which made me colder, then i would sweat more. if it wasnt for the guides i may have died up there if i was on my own.
but i did it, i have all limbs and digits and some awesome fotos too.
right after that i got back to camp, then headed off to zanzibar on a back packing trip. the highlight of that was swimming with dolphins. lots of fun.
next week im going to mwalanage elephant sactuary. i have a safari the week after that. then im off to nairobi to get my uk visa.
thats pretty much it for now. more detailed posts to follow when time permits.
cheers

i knew you could do it man. Its supposed to be realyl tough wiht regards to enduring the cold and the altitude, but how intense was it physically? like. how fit would you have to be? And how many days did it take you?
Congrats man. Im proud! In honour, I shall do the dance.....in the privacy of my own home. Even thoug hit was hard, I bet you are glad you did it. Because now you can say you have been to the highest point in Africa.

Well done Jash!
I'm told warm elephant poo is very good for frost-bite - good emergency planning! Wasn't sure you'd summit after that last message half way up ... or down ... :-)
Everyone's very proud of you
Cheers,
dad
