sharing my love for philanthropy, cooking, and adventure

Sunrise illuminating the summit glacier on Mount Kilimanjaro, with ice formations in the foreground and a sea of clouds in the background.

a quick update – we are all safe.

We are all safe and down from the mountain. We checked out from the last gate and we are enjoying lunch in the countryside. It was a tough and challenging climb for all. Adam, Lynn, Cathy and I summited at 6:15 am; Lacey and Lilly followed and summited at 6:45 am and Peter summited at 6:48 am. Becky and Deb tried hard, but did not make it to the Stella peak, the first peak. It’s always hard when you have made it so far, but I know they will be back to reach the top of Kili soon. Julius our guide has promised to help them. I’ll catch you all up when we get back to the hotel in Arusha.

    Well said Steve. Great sense of achievement by conquering Kili and over coming the physical and mental challenges
    Ticked off the bucket list now. Deb and Becky are still winners in my eyes and am very proud of both of them for what they have achieved
