Re: Western Breach

Yes we climbed via the breach. We used African Environment as our guide company. They were excellent.

We spent the first 3 days on the Machame Route and then moved to the Arrow Glacier camp for 2 days. From there we climbed the breach and camped in the crater for one night and summited from there the next day. Descent was via Mweka. If I get some time in the next few weeks I will try to put together a trip report.

Enjoy the report ..

Sounds like you folks made excellent time up to the summit.

There's nothing like having a good relationship with people, and learning from
your experience how you can do things
better next time ... if there is a next time.

Re: very romantic photo!

Thanks, perhaps if it had not been so cold we might have opened the wine bottle that we instead chose to drink about 9000 feet lower.
