It is much easier for guys on the mountain...although "mountain etiquette" decrees that you face away from the mountain.
Private toilets are available(at a price)...ask your tour operator if they have.They are well worth the cost. I was lucky enough to be able to use one that belonged to another group.It had a proper seat, toilet paper, a magazine rack and it was spotless!
a table and chairs provides a bit of comfort amongst the rocks
My screen says it all...
Our group arrives at Stella point...
Just in time to see the sunrise!
Truly breathtaking...if you have any left after having climbed for the past 7 hours.
The sun makes an appearance...

If you look closely you will see where this glacier is melting...
another glacier...they are spectacular.
A view of the crater...Kilimanjaro is a volcano
This is what it is all about...a board at the top of a mountain!
A local entertainer,Steve Hofmyer gave me R10000.00 for hospice.This CD,which he signed, was later sold at a charity auction
I found this chameleon on the long walk back to the gate...
