Have you ever been to 19,341 ft? Neither have we, but we're ready to try. Tomorrow begins our adventure up Kilimanjaro - the Roof of Africa.
We just finished our pre-climb debriefing and gear check. Our bags are packed and we're trying to kill time before bed without getting too nervous. Tomorrow will actually be more of a transition day. We have about 5-6 hours of driving and then 3 hours of hiking. It sounds like our guide (Joshua) will be pushing fluids during the drive and we've already warned him that we will need plenty of potty breaks. Joshua has already summited 143 times - soon that will be 144. It seems like our climbing group will be fun.
You can track our progress on Kili by going to the following blog:Team Kilimanjaro Blog. We are group AMJO (HS). This blog is updated once a day when possible - don't worry if they miss a day. Send extra thoughts and prayers our way on February 17th - our summit day.
Amy- Sending you, Kim and Megan all sorts of big love and altitude tolerance. Bahati nzuri!
