Our final day on the mountain!
Today the gang got up at 6:30 refreshed after a much needed nights sleep, we had breakfast, then hit the trail one last time. It took just around three hours to reach the park gate where the team had lunch and said our final goodbyes to our amazing crew that took such great care of us on the mountain.
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, cleaner, and smelling fresh after an exciting seven day journey up and down Kilimanjaro.
Stayed tuned, Safari starts tomorrow!

Thank you for your reports, I read every day. So I can take part a little bit in your expedition. Really I haven´t seen so much snow before, even not on pictures.
Furthermore I wish you sunny weather and a good time for all of you! Stay healthy and in good condition!

Dear Vince, How are you all fairing waiting this weather out.? I hope you will be able to start again soon. Serena home from Europe this Sat, i was thinking you would be Sun but that seems not to be. At least I will have one of my beloved crew back with me and the little boys. We are fine, just waiting and watching for news from you. I can’t wait for dinner at The Serbian Crown with our favorite meal and just the two of us….I love you, please be careful, come home to us! Lea

After three weeks in the mountain we flew from Kahiltna Base Camp this morning. While warming our hands with a final cup of coffee at base camp, we got the message that we had all been waiting for. K2 had launched their planes. Thirty minutes later, the distinctive red and white Otters roared over and landed in the snowy white landscape.
While weather kept us from standing on top this time around, we had a resoundingly successful trip. I cannot thank our climbers and my fellow guides enough for all of their work, effort, laughs, determination, and patience during this trip. Until next time,
RMI Guide Seth Burns

Another beautiful day on Denali, which started at 2:30 AM for our team. We were snowshoed up and moving uphill by 5 AM. Conditions were excellent for travel. The surface was frozen up just right and the day was cool enough to keep us from sweating as we got on "Ski Hill". We moved well for four hours to reach 10,000' There at the head of the 49 mile Kahiltna Glacier, we dug a cache and buried our supplies to prevent attack by ravens. It took just under two hours to get back down to camp, by which time we were ready to get in the tents and out of the hot sun. We napped away the afternoon and rehydrated. Tomorrow we'll climb to 11,000' Camp.
Best Regards,
RMI Guides Dave Hahn, Sam Hoffman, Sam Marjerison and Nick Sinapius
