Today the trail continued to the base of the Stanley glacier. After climbing onto the glacier and crossing the Stanley Plateau, they proceeded to the summit which took about 7 hours. Sean said it was quite treacherous reaching the summit because of how much the glacier has melted due to climate change.
They descended through an alpine zone of sparse vegetation, rough boulders, and past the Kitandara Lakes. Diner and overnight at Kitandara Hut (4023m).
