Kili trek day 7: Crater Camp (5700m) to Mweka Camp 3100 m
Cold camp in the carter at top of Mt Kilimanjaro. 1" of snow in night . Stomach better after a cold night. Thick clouds so couldn't see much . Climbed out of the crater in the fog to Stella Pt (5795m) and then down the scree to Barafu camp (2 hrs total) . Lunch there then down to mweka . getting warmer all the way down . Found a beer on sale at 3800m so Mike and I enjoyed that (only $3 !). Continued on down to 3100m and Mweka camp. Knees Ok after only 2695m of descent ! Slept well !
