Ben’s Angels wrap up Kilimanjaro

Jambo everyone,

Ben’s Angels wrapped up our Kilimanjaro climb on July 29th. Team members were off to Safari on the Northern circuit, or their own personal schedules.

What an amazing week with these 4 families. Big congratulations to everyone for their achievements together.

Big shout out to Ben Hutton for returning to Kili again with me, and bringing along 2 of his kids and a fantastic group of friends, colleagues and their families. Truly a special experience together.

As always my thanks to the hardworking Tanzanian crew who are always there to help with a smile and a cheer. We couldn’t do it without them.

A last special shout out to my colleague David Gottlieb for stepping up to train on this trip together. We have been passing each other in the mountains for 30 years and it was great to to finally work together. David will be leading more Kili trips in the future.

Eric, David, and Ben’s Angels
