100% of Team Mad Mix summits!

We had an incredible summit day! Warm temps, no wind. We are not sure who bribed the weather gods for us but we are grateful! The group worked hard and each person took good care of themselves. All of these factors combined resulted in all of us standing on the summit together.

We made it to the summit around 7:30-8:00 in the morning and were back in camp by 10:30. After packing up our tents and eating another amazing lunch, we are now headed down to Millennium Camp – to thicker air and some rest. We are all doing well. Folks are tired but in good spirits.

We will send another email or call again tomorrow when we are back in Arusha.
