Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Ascend to High Camp, Ready for Summit Climb
Hello again everyone,
The team had a good nights rest last night and today was just a short 3 hour hike up to 15,000ft to our high camp. Everyone is excited and maybe just a touch nervous, which is very normal!
The team has just wrapped up lunch and discussed in great detail the plan for tomorrow’s climb. Everyone knows what we’ll be wearing, what will be in the pack, as well as the schedule.
Our game plan will be to wake at 10:30pm and have a quick breakfast at 11, then hopefully hit the trail around 11:30pm. The weather is still being a little fickle and it’s currently sleeting here at camp. Hopefully that will taper off here soon and we’ll have a calm night for climbing.
The team has been doing great thus far and I am expecting us to reach the summit in 7 to 8 hours if things go according to plan.
We had another trivia challenge, and one lucky winner will get a phone call from the summit.
So everyone back home please keep your phones handy and if you receive a call from a strange number please answer. We are 8+hrs ahead of the east coast time zone.
RMI Guide Casey Grom and the RMI summit bound team!

Right on! 15,200. So close. If the special phone call for trivia win was around a chemistry question, I’ll give Ben the win. If the trivia win was around picking high quality girlfriends, I will not be giving Ben the win. Just joshing you man. Push hard to the summit!
