11:00am local time
"This morning we went to 4900m, for acclimatization and now we are back at the camp. Both climbers are experiencing some headache and we expect to leave for the summit later tonight if their progress improves.
It's a nice weather here with the blue sky."

1pm local time
"Due to the fact that Trish's condition is not improving, we have decided to descend down to the lower camp - Trish is experiencing a severe headache which is not getting better. It's now 01:00pm and we are going down slowly.

Although Una is good to go to the summit, she has decided to go down as well.

Safety is our number one priority. It does not matter how many mountains you have climbed, sometimes the mountain will just say no and you have to respect that"

6.30pm local time
" We are now at Mandara Hut (2700m) and Trish is now getting better. 
We will be spending a night here."

4.28pm local time 

"We are now at the base camp and we will not summit tonight but on the 5th night (27/1/13) which will give us another day to acclimatise. Trish is a bit better, and I will keep monitoring her. Una is doing well although she has mild headache which is normal at this altitude."

07:30am local time
"Both climbers slept well here at Mawenzi Tarn Hut (4310m). 

Although Trish wasn't feeling so well in the evening and she had to start taking Diamox (which accelerates the bodies ability to acclimatise), this morning she is better and we have decided to go to the Base camp (School hut) instead of spending a second night at the same camp.

Last night was a bit cold but it has warmed up this morning.  Though the ascent is not very steep, it will take us about 5 to 6 hrs to get to School Hut 4715m (Base camp)."
