Personal memories:
My first mountain above 4000m, my first experience with altitude. A nice team. Fascinating different vegetation zones, from the rain forest at the bottom up to the glacier at the top.
Arriving at the summit ridge I took up speed, realizing how great it was to run along the ridge, on the one side looking into the crater, on the other side looking over Africa.
