The weather was spectacular today: sunny with very light wind. We took advantage and moved to high camp at 17,200'. Six hours of climbing and another few of building camp and we're all situated. After hydration, lots of calories and some rest, we're hoping to try for the top tomorrow, weather permitting. Fingers crossed!

Today the team woke at 6:30 feeling well rested, had breakfast, then hit the trail one last time. It took a little over three hours to reach the Kilimanjaro park gate where the team had lunch then enjoyed a goodbye song and dance from our gracious crew of porters, cooks, and local guides. We finished the little celebration by handing out their well deserved tips and then hopped aboard our awaiting bus for the ride back to the lodge.
Finally we are all safe and sound, and a little cleaner after an amazing seven day journey up and down Kilimanjaro.
The team is currently relaxing and looking forward to safari which starts tomorrow!
RMI Guide Casey Grom and a happy Kilimanjaro crew

Derek and Team: My thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are with you and all of your team members as you prepare to make the final push to the summit. Everyone must be so eager to finally reach the top. It’s been great being able to follow your progress up to this point and a waking hour hasn’t past where I don’t think about you up there on that mountain. Stay strong, focused, and most of all safe. Good Luck!! - Pops
