Godspeed to you and everyone on the mountain as you head to the summit!!! This is an AMAZING and WONDERFUL journey to watch from far away. I can only imagine how it is there. There's something special to be said for the heights you've reached!!! I WISH YOU WELL!!!

For: Lisa, Dara, Marcia, and ALL you inspiring climbers

Wooo Boy! You did the fabulous Barranco Wall! Aside from the thrill of the summit, it was the very best day of all. I'm so proud of you ALL, and can't wait to hear the stories, and see all the pics. Anyone coming to hike Mendon Ponds on March 3 with us? If so, we'll see you then. (By the way, those weird "trees" are Senecio, and they are unique to Kilimanjaro.) Hugs to all, Botanical Phyl (for whom the summit was"delicious")

For: Peter & Christine

Jack Shea was thrilled at his shout-out from peak to satellite to Ballston Spa! We confess: Andrea and I are officially Kili Blog Stalkers. First thing in AM, last thing at PM, and about 1000 times in between we check PPS website for new posting from you Mountaineers &/or fellow followers, whom we are also becoming attached to. So keep reporting your who, where, what, when, how, why often. Words of the day: IN...OUT

For: Chris, Raiel, Clay, Katie & Derek

Happy to hear you are all hanging in there. You all must be so excited about making the summit. Raiel you must feel so fortunate to be sharing this undertaking with you brother. I'm sure you also feel the same sharing with Chris too. Enjoy and stay safe. Good luck to all of you. I did send you a post earlier, don't think it went through. Hope this does.

For: Katie

Lots of giddy-ups! tail wag and smiles. It's fine if you only take a shower every five days. I' m making friends with small dogs...I let them walk under me..and I play with them.

For: Dara

Just left a message and then the posting changed to today - so don't know if you got it or not. Nothing exciting. Just more good wishes from more people. Glad to know the wall is behind you - and that everyone is still hanging in there. Now it's up, up and away. Love you.

For: Katie Derek & All

YAHOO....so happy to hear all are hoping to summit. Sounds like no shortage of weather...hope your gear is drying fast......hydrate, hydrate and then hydrate a bit more!
