First glimpse of sunrise
IMG Senior Guide, Chris Meder, and team should be waking up shortly and beginning their push to the summit of Kilimanjaro. One of the benefits of doing the climb in seven days is that the team gets to high camp at Barafu quite early in the day, allowing them time to organize, eat, hydrate and get a reasonable amount of sleep. All the members will be taking a shot tonight. They’re nervous, like before a big game, but ready. We’ll let you know when we know.
