\n\t\t\t\tThe team on the summit! (Phunuru Sherpa)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n <\/p>\n
I received two great phone calls from Phunuru… The first came in last night at about 8:30pm PST (6:30am Kili time), it was Phunuru calling in from the summit! He said it was a great climb, they were out in front of all of the other teams and were able to enjoy the mountain pretty much all to themselves!<\/p>\n
The second call came in this morning at about 7:30am PST (5:30pm Kili time), it was Phunuru again, this time from Mweka camp. The had made it down to Barafu Camp (their base for summit day) by mid-morning, enjoyed a short nap, packed up, had lunch then powered on down to Mweka camp which sits at about 10,000ft., a much more comfortable altitude to sleep at for their last night on the mountain.<\/p>\n
Tonight the team will sleep soundly knowing the hard part is behind them… just a few hours down the trail tomorrow followed by a few beers, a hot shower and 3 days on safari!<\/p>\n
All is well on Kilimanjaro!<\/p>\n
