And They Are Off
Combine a great group of climbers and a great guide like Andy Politz and it’s just hard to miss. A couple of super nice families filled most of our 22 June Kilimanjaro departure. Several teenagers in the group, too, and they’re all “tearing it upâ€. They’re moving right along with zero issues. People arrived and bags arrived right on schedule and they’ve completed their first day on the trail today. 4,000 vertical foot gain took them to the Machame camp at 10,000 ft. First day is a big one and the views just get better each day.
