Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Ascend Lava Tower

January 27, 2022

Posted by: Casey Grom

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Elevation: 13,030'

Hello from Africa,

Today we woke to beautifully clear skies again with even better views of Kilimanjaro since moving up on the mountain. The days route took us up and around the well known and beautiful Lava Tower reaching just over 15,000', setting a new altitude record for some.

We also passed by many of the giant groundsels and towering Senecio trees that made us feel as if we were in some crazy Dr. Seuss story book.

All in all it was a really nice day with clouds gathering in the afternoon to help keep the temperature comfortable for hiking.
