Can it be Kilimanjaro season, again? The answer is YES. I think Kilimanjaro lead guide, Phunuru Sherpa, is spending as much time on Kilimanjaro as he does on Everest. Imagine summiting Kili with a multiple (and I mean multiple) Everest summiter? He’s not only a great climber but a great guide – and an ever better companion. Folks come back from climbing Kili with Phunuru can’t stop talking about the experience.
He reported in on the 25th and let the office know that everyone was present and accounted for and that gear was checked/packed and they still had time to explore the town of Moshi. The approach hike starts tomorrow morning. They’re looking forward to 7 days and 6 nights of team effort and then it’s safari time. Stay tuned. Phunuru’s great at getting photos out and we’ll want to keep everyone updated as to progress. No news is always good news but hopefully we’ll be able to post most days.
It’s Kili time!!
