      Our day starts by descending into the Great Barranco, a huge ravine. We then exit steeply, up the Great Barranco Wall, which divides us from the southeastern slopes of Kibo. Itโ€™s a climb over rock, not technical, but long and tiring.

The altitude makes the hike long and tiring. Another hourโ€™s walking takes us to the summit, Uhuru Peak (5895m).
