Description

6 Day ascent of Machame route. Camping at Machame camp, Shiva plateau, Baranco, and Barafu. Set off for the summit at 01:00 on New Years Day 2018 to arrive on Uhuru Peak at 10:00. Weather good for the whole ascent but soon after arriving at the summit weather closed in and heavy snow fell for the descent back to Barafu. After a short break and some food at Barafu whole team descended to Millenium camp at 3,800m. Nice walk off the next day.
