Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team Setting New Altitude Records

August 10, 2025

Posted by: Dave Hahn

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Elevation: 13,000'

We broke a bunch of personal altitude records today. The team stood at 15,200 ft by the Lava Tower and didn’t seem much worse for the wear. In fact we had a picnic lunch up there before dropping down below the stunning and immense south face of Kilimanjaro to descend to Barranco Camp at 13,000 ft. We took seven hours from Shira Camp (including the picnic) which is just what we were aiming for. The team enjoyed walking through the Giant Senecios and Lobelia plants that guard the approaches to Barranco. It was breezy in camp as we rested and recuperated. We ate another of Chef Tosha’s excellent dinners and told each other mountain ghost stories to finish the day.

Best Regards,

RMI Guide Dave Hahn
