“Sleeping inside the crater at 18,800 ft was the most extraordinary night of my life. Nothing compares.”
“Standing beside the Furtwängler Glacier at dawn, then walking to Uhuru with no one around, surreal.”
“Demanding and unforgettable. The acclimatization from the Northern Circuit made the crater night possible.”
Crater camp is for the climber who wants more than the summit. A night at 18,800 ft beside the glaciers is unforgettable, and demanding. Built on the Northern Circuit, it earns the altitude honestly.
“This is the rarest thing we do. If you are experienced and want the mountain at its most extraordinary, this is it.”
