When we walked into Shira 1 camp in the late afternoon Kanini was there to greet me, as he’d be every day, and show me to my tent. Greg had brought a frisbee, so we played that for awhile in the cold, wind and fog, waiting for the others to arrive. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
After dinner, we walked out of the tent to be amazed that the clouds had vanished and the sun was shining brightly on Kilimanjaro. It kind of knocked us over. We’d learn that was a typical weather pattern; Clear in the early morning and late evening, and overcast in between. Except when we’d climb near 15,000 ft and get above the clouds.
