IMG leader Phunuru Sherpa reports from Moshi, situated at the foot of Kilimanjaro at about 3000 feet. The February Kili team have all arrived, are doing well, and are excited to get started. Today the team did their gear checks, got the porter duffels packed and weighed, and had a nice walkabout exploring the town of Moshi. Phunuru reports that the weather is very nice, sunny and warm during the daytime. Tomorrow morning they will be driving up through the coffee, tea, and banana farms on the slopes of the mountain to the Machame Gate at about 6000 feet, where the ascent begins. All’s well in Tanzania!
