Kilimanjaro Time Estimates
IMG senior guide Justin Merle reports that everything is going well for the January Kili crew. Yesterday the group headed into Moshi to visit the Kilimanjaro Porter Assistance Project, which IMG supports. Then, after getting all packed up and a final night in a bed, the team headed up through the forest today to the Machame Camp (almost 10,000 feet).
Justin called on the sat phone to report that the team did well and the weather was pretty good, with only a few sprinkles in the afternoon. After that it cleared and the stars are out for the evening. Tomorrow they head for Shira Camp.
That’s all for now.
