February 23, 2015 “Pretty much a perfect day on Kilimanjaroâ€. That was the message from Mike Haft and his team just a few minutes ago. Long pull up to the Lava Tower at around 15,000 ft, but that effort was rewarded with a hot lunch in the sunshine. Sweet. It’s all downhill from there, literally, […]
