Rwenzoris – The summit – Margherita Peak

Written By: sean on June 20, 2011 7 Comments

Sean’s just called to say they’re all on the summit! (10:30am Uganda time). Everyone is super stoked – it was a tough but brilliant climb with great weather.  There were bits of cloud but the sun poked through.  He said he can see why the Rwenzoris are called Mountains of the Moon – the sun is always shinning through the cloud and looks like a great big moon.  It took the guys seven hours to reach the summit with a few complicated, hectic sections across the glacier.  There are nine of them on the summit right now – the other three being the Ugandan guides – Bosco, Eric and Joseph.
