100 % on the Summit of Kilimanjaro  

July 25, 2022 – IMG guide Phunuru Sherpa reports that the team had a beautiful climb to the true summit of Kilimanjaro today.  They started from Barafu (about 15,000 feet) at midnight and reached Uhuru Peak at 6:30, just in time for sunrise.  The descent also went smoothly, with time for a nice rest back at Barafu Camp before packing up and heading down to the thick air at Mweka Camp (about 10,000 feet).  Tomorrow they plan an early departure to finish the hike back down through the forest to Mweka Gate, and then back to the hotel for their celebration.  Well done, Team!
