until you reach Shira Camp where you can
look up to Uhuru Peak as Kibo towers above
you

discomfort and the beginning effects of Acute
Mountain Sickness (AMS)

will sing dance and support you all the way to
the top
Safely on top of Barranco Wall yoursquoll gasp at
breath-taking 360 degree views of never-
ending valleys far-away savannas and

begins to rise your body will start to thaw
