Stella Point, where the route first reaches the Crater.\u00c2\u00a0 Then it another hour to the true summit at Uhuru and time for team and individual photos.\u00c2\u00a0 The journey from there is as much mental as it is physical. \u00c2\u00a0Not easy, after a demanding climb, to make that 180 degree turn and hike back down to high camp at 15,300\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.\u00c2\u00a0 Even after lunch and a short rest, you still have to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsuck it up\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to put that pack back on and get down to the land of the thick air at Mweka Camp, 10,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a relatively short day\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hike, maybe 4-5 hours, to the Mweka Gate.\u00c2\u00a0 Lunch will be waiting for the team and so will be the vehicles to get them back to the hotel and hot showers.\u00c2\u00a0 They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re staying focused now until tomorrow afternoon and then they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll relax and let
