- Summit photo! (Phunuru Sherpa)
Phunuru called in last night and again this morning (Pacific Standard Time). The first call was from Stella Point, the crater rim, of Kilimanjaro. The team had already been to the summit and were comfortably on their way back down to Barafu Camp. Once at camp they enjoyed a nice nap followed by some lunch. After lunch they loaded up and made their way down to the thicker air at Mweka Camp (10,000ft.) where they celebrated and likely went to bed pretty early. Hearing that the team is back down to Mweka camp safely is far and above my favorite of the two calls.
Tomorrow they’ve got a few hours on the trail to the trailhead where they’ll sign-out then head to the hotel in Moshi for hot showers and cold beers!
Congratulations Team!
Your safari awaits.
