IMG guide Jenni Fogle called on the sat phone to report that the entire team reached the summit of Kilimanjaro this morning. They experienced some inclement weather during their nightime climb, but kept plugging away and by dawn the conditions had improved and they had a nice summit, though a bit cold and windy. Today they descended back down to the Mweka Camp at the treeline, where they are spending the night and enjoying the thick air again. Tomorrow they will finish the descent and return to the hotel in Moshi for some well-deserved showers and maybe a beer or two. Great job team!
