Day 9: Climb to Mweka Gate

 Our climbers are waking up to their last day on the mountain. They’ll have their last breakfast in the mess tent and then start their trek. They’ll descend through the rainforest past towering trees and lush ferns to a hot lunch at Mweka Gate – where they’ll end their adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro.

UPDATE

Friends & Family—

Thank you for your prayers yesterday. I am happy to say that ALL 8 climbers summited! Drew said that the weather was perfect. That makes a 100% success rate for this summer!

The group is at Mweka Camp right now. We ask that you please pray for strength for the team getting down safely. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Pamoja Pamoja. Together Together.
