Itinerary description

[ENGLISH] [See below for the Spanish version]
Ascent to Kilimanjaro by the route Lemosho in 8 days, distributed in 9 stages (6 stages of approach, 1 stage of attack to the top, 2 of descent), with a total of 67.05 kms of route and 9857m of accumulated altitude (4635m of ascent and 5222m of descent).
We started the day, as all previous, with a radiant sun, today as an exception, accompany us throughout the short stage, the last approach and prelude to the harsh stages of ascension, return and descent of tomorrow. From the camp you can see the glaciers on the south face of Mount Kibo very close. Around 8am we start from Karanga Camp (4020 masl) and we advance on a path that initially gains height quickly, with a slope of 15%, up to a plateau with slight uphill and downhill slopes that make the final ascent to the Barafu Camp (4680msnm), which we access through a short but technical step in which we help each other on occasion. The route makes a 90º turn towards NW and leads the ridge that leads in scarce 200m to the rangers' house. In Barafu we expect a very strong and sustained wind, with gusts of about 80kms / h, which accompanies us throughout the afternoon of supposed rest, (which is not, because of the deafening noise it provokes) and throughout the ascent and descent the next day. Throughout the afternoon the weather is extremely changeable, going from calm and sun to strong gusty wind and snow granulated in a few seconds. the next day we will know that our tent and the toilet have been damaged by the wind.

[ENGLISH]
Ascent to Kilimanjaro by the Lemosho route in 8 days, distributed in 9 stages (6 stages of approach, 1 stage of attack to the summit, 2 of descent), with a total of 67.05 km of route and 9857m of accumulated unevenness (4635m of ascent and 5222m of descent).
We start the day, like all previous days, with a radiant sun that, today as an exception, will accompany us throughout the short stage, last approach and prelude to the hard stages of ascent, return and descent tomorrow. From the camp you can see the glaciers of the south face of Mount Kibo very close. Around 8am we start from Karanga Camp (4020 masl) and advance on a track that initially gains height quickly, with a slope of 15%, to a plateau with slight slopes of ascent and descent that serve as a prelude to the final ascent to Barafu Camp (4680 masl), which we access through to short but technical step in which we sometimes help each other with our hands. The route makes a 90º turn towards NW and leads the crest that leads in 200m scarce to the house of the rangers. In Barafu a very intense and windy awaits us, with gusts close to 80kms / h, that accompanies us during all the afternoon of supposed rest, (that is not, because of the deafening noise that causes) and during all the ascent and descent of the following day. Throughout the afternoon the weather is extremely changeable, passing from calm and sun to strong gusty wind and granulated snow in a few seconds. the next day we will know that our tent and sink have been destroyed by the wind.
