The summit night on Mount Kilimanjaro will undoubtedly be challenging!
We started hiking at 12 am. The route from Kibo hut to Gilman's point (5685) is a vertical climb followed by a zigzag. Depending on the weather, each stop will last approximately two to three minutes. When we reached 5,500m elevation, we stopped every 30 minutes due to the lack of oxygen.
Once we got to Stella Point (5756m), which was very cold, we took a 5-minute break. Then, we continued to hike and took about an hour to make it to the summit. At 8.23 am we reached the summit of Uhuru Peak at 5895m.
