Hello from Tanzania! This is Seth along with the Kilimanjaro Team. Everyone has arrived on schedule and we have just enjoyed our first evening at the Dik Dik Hotel. The hotel staff is really great and the food they serve here is top notch, which was very welcoming after our long travels.
Tomorrow we will take the first step towards the mountain by prepping our gear and packing. After that we all plan to head into the city of Arusha to experience the market there. We'll check in again tomorrow.

We are in Nyalam, our last stop before the Chinese Base Camp. The drive through Nepal to the border with Tibet went pretty well and the border crossing itself was smooth. We bypassed the town of Zangmu straight to Nyalam. This afternoon we will head for a hike to stretch the legs after the trip and start the acclimatization process. We have a scheduled departure for Chinese Base Camp for tomorrow around noon. The team is in really good spirits and looking forward to putting a foot on the mountain.
Regards from Tibet,

RMI Guides JJ Justman and Andy Bond led the Four Day Summit Climb to the summit of Mt. Rainier today. The teams stood on Columbia Crest today with hazy skies (thanks to wildfires in the east), a slight bit of new snow and brisk temperatures. Teams hit the top just before 8:00am PST, spent an hour at 14,000 feet before beginning their descent to Camp Muir.
Congratulations to today's teams!

We have arrived today the 5th in Kathmandu. The trip, rather long, went smooth. Tomorrow we are going to do some shopping for personal food and logistics and we plan on leaving for Tibet on Wednesday.
We will keep you posted!

Bridget and Elias,
The experience is exciting for all of us. Thank you for sharing. The quiet fall Rockies seem inviting for a snowy winter - but missing their best two climbers.
On Sunday I attend a Tibetan dinner in Colorado; I will send many good thoughts your way - perhaps you will see them in the prayer flags!!
Good luck; please be safe.
