Successful Return
African Ascents的点评
点评：In my earlier review of July 5, 2023, I mentioned how Typhoid caused us to abort our 6 day ascent of Point Lenana.
On February 8, I came back with a friend for another try and successfully summited on day 4 of the 5 day trek on the Chogoria route.
African Ascents fulfilled their promise of scheduling Boniface as our lead guide again. What a pleasure it was to have him by our side.
The last hour of the ascent, and first hour of descent, were more challenging than I had expected due to the very rocky, steep and narrow trail. We evidently had acclimated well because we felt great upon reaching the summit. Boni’s decision to summit on Day 4, leaving Lake Michaelson at 6 AM and reaching the top at noon, was a wise one. This way we did not need to spend the night at a higher elevation. Also, upon reflection, we were glad that the hardest part of the climb was not done in the dark. The sunrise hike out of Lake Michaelson was beautiful beyond words and my favorite part of the whole trek. At the lunch stop during the descent, the porters and camp staff were at Mackinder Valley with our tents in case we were too tired to go further. After a nutritious lunch we continued downhill to our last camp. From there it was a pleasant 3 hour hike the next morning to the end.
African Ascents again exceeded my expectations. Our cook Patrick prepared plentiful and delicious meals, the team of porters and camp staff worked smoothly and tirelessly to make our camping experience as luxurious as one could hope for. We had a hot water bottle at night, a basin of warm water in the morning, a comfortable latrine, a warm sleeping bag plus pillow and mattress. Our Camelbaks and water bottles were filled every day with fresh water and we had snacks during our hike. Also, Boni had a few pleasant surprises for us during the trek.
If you want to climb Mt. Kenya, I don’t believe there’s a better company than African Ascents to help you succeed.

翻译：在我之前 2023 年 7 月 5 日的评论中，我提到伤寒如何导致我们中止为期 6 天的莱纳纳角攀登。
2月8日，我和朋友再次尝试，在乔戈里亚路线5天徒步的第4天成功登顶。
非洲攀登组织兑现了他们的承诺，再次安排博尼法斯担任我们的首席导游。有他在我们身边真是令人高兴。
由于岩石较多、陡峭且狭窄，上升的最后一个小时和下降的第一个小时比我预想的更具挑战性。显然我们已经适应得很好，因为到达山顶时我们感觉很棒。博尼 (Boni) 决定在第四天登顶，早上 6 点离开迈克尔森湖，中午到达山顶，这是一个明智的决定。这样我们就不需要在海拔较高的地方过夜了。此外，经过反思，我们很高兴攀登中最困难的部分不是在黑暗中完成的。从迈克尔森湖出发的日出徒步旅行美丽得无法形容，也是整个徒步旅行中我最喜欢的部分。在下撤过程中的午餐站，搬运工和营地工作人员在麦金德谷为我们提供帐篷，以防我们太累而无法继续前进。吃完丰盛的午餐后，我们继续下山前往最后一个营地。第二天早上从那里开始愉快的3小时徒步到达终点。
非洲攀登再次超出了我的预期。我们的厨师帕特里克准备了丰盛可口的饭菜，搬运工和营地工作人员团队顺利而不知疲倦地工作，使我们的露营体验如人们所希望的那样奢华。我们晚上有一个热水袋，早上有一盆温水，一个舒适的厕所，一个温暖的睡袋加上枕头和床垫。我们的骆驼包和水瓶每天都装满淡水，我们在徒步旅行期间还吃零食。此外，博尼在旅途中还给我们带来了一些惊喜。
如果您想攀登肯尼亚山，我相信没有比 Africa Ascents 更好的公司可以帮助您成功。
