DAY 7: THIRD CAVE (3,963M) – KIBO HUT (4,703M)
After breakfast cross the far northwestern section of the Kibo Saddle, this sits between Mawenzi and Kibo peaks. Even though our elevation gain is 3,200 ft., we are well acclimatized to the altitude having spent the last few days hovering in the 14,000 ft. level. The climb up the western part of the saddle up to Kibo hut is fairly strenuous, as we trek up the scree slope as it will be the night to the highest point in Africa!
