26. Our team on top at last. We all made it as a group, together, at around 7am. The temperature on top was about -10.
27.It was an emotional moment and a real achievement for these guys who had never been on a mountain before - Colin, Andy and Ean.
28. It's a lot easier going down!!!! Running the cinder slopes on the way back to KIbo 
29. We all felt like Lou when we got back to the camp at Kibo - it had been a long hard but very satisfying night and morning.

30. Saying farewell to our support team who done such a tremendous job. We were able to give them a load of great Berghaus gear to keep them warm for future work on the mountain.

31. None of our guides had down jackets, so we put this right.

32. Back into the rain forest and nearly back at the Marangu Gate with every one in great form.

33. We were greeted at the Gate by competitors for the Miss Tanzanian Tourism Competition who were on their way up the mountain.

34. And back to Moivaro Lodge at Arusha for a much needed hot shower and a celebratory meal at the end of a really great trip.
