Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Reach Snowy Summit
Hello from Kili.
Just a quick recap today.
All of the the team happily and successfully stood on the “Roof of Africa” today.
Thankfully the weather cooperated and it was pretty calm most of the day. However, the recent rain/storm deposited a boat load of snow for us to enjoy. You might say the Snows of Kilimanjaro are back, but it’s probably only temporary.
We hiked up almost entirely on snow, which was a first for me. The team did an incredible job of taking care of themselves and fought hard when it was needed.
We have safely descend to our high camp where we will take a short break to eat and recharge before descending further down the mountain to our last camp on the mountain.

Congratulations to all! We can only imagine the effort it took to get to the top of the mountain, what an accomplishment. Dan, we knew you’d be the trivia winner and way to represent Seattle sports on the trip. Have a safe trip back down the mountain and we’re looking forward to hearing all about it.
Dave and Anneke
PS What was the trivia question?
