Kilimanjaro Team Update

February 7, 2019

Machame Camp (Phunuru Sherpa)
The team is all smiles on a beautiful day on Kilimanjaro (Phunuru Sherpa)

We love the early morning emails from Phunuru and the IMG Kilimanjaro team.

They’re “just cruising along” and have done a super job getting to Camp 2 at the Shira Plateau. Tomorrow’s the big ‘up/down’ day, going from 12,500′ at Shira, up to about 14,500′ (the height of Mt. Rainier) and then down to Baranco Camp at 13,000′. Remember the old climbing adage for acclimatization —- “climb high, sleep low”? It’s an old adage because it works!

All good in Tanzania.
