Mawenzi at sunrise on summit morning
IMG Guide Mike Haft called in from High Camp on Kilimanjaro early this afternoon as they set out on their summit bid. Mike reports that “a few hours ago, as we got into their tents for a short sleep, the weather shifted a bit. A few clouds and some light snow rolled that worried us a little, but when I got out of my tent I was thrilled to see nothing but stars. A lot of stars”
Summit day on Kili is a tough day, usually 7 or 8 hours to the top and a few more down to camp. We’ll hear from Mike tomorrow once they’re all in camp.
