Uhuru Peak at the very top is 19,340 feet, with a 12,942 foot total ascent over 4 days. Gilman’s Point at 18,638 feet is the first peak that counts as summiting for a certificate. It is a slow hike and not a ‘technical’ climb: no ropes, rappelling, etc. Porters carry your gear, tents, food, etc., and cook all your food. Temps: Up to 100 degrees F at the bottom to below 0 at the top. Summit is at dawn of the 5th day after climbing through the night.
