The Climb

Your Summit, Day by Day

01
Day 1

Into the Forest

Mossy giants, colobus monkeys, the smell of wet earth. We climb gently from rainforest to heather, your body easing into altitude.

02
Day 3

Above the Clouds

The world drops away. Lava ridges, alpine desert, a sky so clean it hurts. Tonight, dinner in a tent at 4,000m.

03
Summit

Sunrise on Africa's Roof

Midnight start. Headlamps tracing the scree. Then — Uhuru Peak. 5,895m. The first light of day painting the glaciers gold.
