Kili Team Reaches the Top (Tye Chapman)
100% on top of Kilimanjaro is always good news. 100% down at Mweka Camp and safe is even better. We received two messages from Tye Chapman last evening and early this morning – one from the summit and one from their final camp. Mweka Camp is at 10,000 ft and there’s a lot more oxygen there and temps are much warmer. Add in all the effort of the summit day and it all makes for big appetites and some great sleep for a seriously tired team. What a great kind of ‘tired’!
A good night’s sleep and a few hours of hiking tomorrow and the team will be heading for the showers at K’s Hotel. Time to start celebrating the summit and to start thinking about the upcoming safari. All is well in Tanzania.
