I had been training the whole year & felt confident & excited to summit Kili. However, on day 3 of Machame Route, I came down with flu. I managed to carry on until just 800metres of the summit. I was too weak & tired to continue. It was extremely disaspointing to turn back, I remember it like yesterday. But you just dont know what will happen. I was very fortunate in not having any altitude sickness symptoms, my legs just turned to jelly. I will definitely be going back in a year or two to summit this time! It was an amazing experience.
