September 12, 2016 Congratulations are in order for Dustin and his team on Kilimanjaro. 100% on the true summit. Perfect weather and the team could not have performed better. No issues with the descent and everyone is now all the way down to Mweka Camp. The air is a lot thicker and a bunch warmer […]
September 11, 2016 It’s just about ‘game day’ for our team on Kilimanjaro. Dustin called in to let us know that they had another very good day getting in to high camp. Doing climbs in 7 days makes the day hiking to high camp shorter and less strenuous. And, it gets the team to camp […]
