Kilimanjaro 19,000 Club Wraps up Climb

Posted on December 11, 2018

Hi everyone,

Yesterday we all returned to Arusha for showers, and celebrating post-mountain.
We were all very happy to reach the summit of Africa’s highest peak on December 9th- which happens to be Independence Day in Tanzania! The Tanzanian army had a party carrying the flag to the summit. The summit is known as “Uhuru” which means freedom in Swahili.
Today Brandon, Steve and Nanette headed out on Safari in the Northern circuit- Tarangire, Ngoro Ngoro and Serengeti parks!
My thanks to a great team and our awesome Tanzanian crew for another successful journey to the roof of Africa. We have a week break here and then team 2 will be arriving!

My Best
Eric Murphy




Thanks
Eric Murphy

  • Food Planning for Mountaineering, Part I: Strategy

    By Mike Hawkins 10 days x 3,000 calories per day = 150 Clif Bars or 60 PB&J sandwiches Planning and packing food for long trips in the backcountry can be challenging and time consuming – but the last thing you want is to eat energy bars for 6 days straight. Climbers need to consider several […]

  • Single Wall Tents – Condensation Factories

    Most tent manufacturers these days offer a superlight, two pound (or less!) tent. These tents are simple to setup, occupy a very small footprint, and again – weigh in at about or under two pounds. When choosing a tent, it’s easy to focus on those factors and arrive at the conclusion that a single-walled shelter […]

  • Alpine Start Breakfast

    When summit morning arrives, it’s important to move efficiently through packing, preparation, and last but not least – breakfast! Mike Hawkins talks through a few of the foods we like to eat for quick fuel on alpine start mornings. Whether it’s midnight or 3:00am, these options are our go-to fast breakfasts.
