Mt. Kilimanjaro: Grom and Team at High Camp Ready for Summit Bid

Hello again everyone. After 5 days of trekking we have finally arrived at High Camp! Today we moved up a few thousand feet and are comfortably sitting just shy of 15'000ft. Despite having made good time to camp our amazing support still managed to beat us and have camp ready once again. We are camped on the southeast side of Kilimanjaro and have a great view of the route ahead as well as the valleys below. Our route ascends up a wide ridge and should be relatively easy for this crew that has done such a great job thus far. Our plan is to wake up at midnight and have breakfast then hopefully start our summit bid around 1am. If all goes well I'm expecting us to reach the summit sometime around 8am.Everyone is in good spirits and excited about the climb. Thanks for all the blog post! It's wonderful to hear from everyone back home and we appreciate all the support. Wish us luck! RMI Guide Casey and Crew

Hello Bruce, Michael, Katie, Jess and Chris…. and congratulations!!!  We have been following closely knowing there is a 7 hour difference. You’re not missing anything here.  Have a safe trek down.  Cant wait to see that view from the summit.  Get a small rock from the mountain as a paperweight.  Love you all. Mom

All our love,

Good luck on getting to the summit!  Can’t wait to hear about the trip.  We love following along on your adventure.  (Mary is fine - just got an email from her).  Hope you can at least have a celebratory drink on the top!

Tim, Keep up the good work.  Too bad you can’t ski down.  Claude

Tim, I told my PhD seminar this week about our snowball fight on Pikes Peak and how we felt afterward - compared to having your system ready for high altitude.  We are mighty proud of you! A Wyoming climbing veteran Todd Skinner says you can “see” your next challenge from your current summit.  Can’t wait to hear about yours.
