At the gate, the whole crew gathered for the traditional songs and presentation of tips (21:05 in the video). The tips consisted of a large stack of US currency Kendal and I had carried to the summit and back. We were concerned to make sure the tips were shared equitably, having heard of porters being short changed by sleazy operators. Kilele Afrika had given us tipping guidelines and told us to give the money to the guides. Renatus and Nicholas took the money and counted it in front of the entire staff, so it is clear they all had a good idea of what their share would be. I discreetly slipped a bit extra to Nicholas for his help with Arthur on days 3 and 6 and for carrying my pack near the summit. Kendal gave a little extra to Bima for his excellent good humor serving us meals. If one gives these extra tips, one should do it on a very limited basis and not let other staff see as it undermines the authority of the guides. The crew did an excellent job and we hope they considered our tip to be generous. I gave Nicholas my CamelBak and water bottle since his had fallen out of my pack somewhere near the summit. Finally, we signed out with the rangers and got our diplomas indicating our successful climb to the summit.
