Obligatory "Snows of KIlimanjaro" photo. It still boggles my mind that there is snow four degrees south of the equator.

Starting the descent from the summit. Looking from between Uhuru and Stella. We just reversed our route to go down (back to Barafu to rest for an hour before descending to 3000m in the afternoon).

The trail down from Stella back to Barafu. We couldn't see the trail when we were climbing. Elije joked that it was for the best that we couldn't see how steep, long, and switchback-filled the trail was.
