Africa

Hanging on the top of Africa!

Mom, you are a true badass!  Way to crush it and be the oldest up there on summit day by a long shot.

The gang, needing oxygen but super stoked.

Good on ya Mom!

Uncle Pete deserves huge kudos too.  Essentially did the trip off the couch at 71 years young.

ANd the long, long, long descent begins.

 

Africa

To the roof of Africa we go!!  The day before we summitted, we went to bed at 16k feet at 3 in the afternoon.  We woke up at 10 pm, had breakfast and were hiking before midnight.  Unreal experience.  

The sun coming up in Kenya beyond us.

Stella point.  Close to the summit.  

The conga line coming up.

So damn bitchin.

Our crew with the jungles of Tanzania below.

Ohh, there is snow in Africa!

Africa

Onward and upward.  

Our crew, trudging along with our fearless leader Mr. Paul.

So amazing on Kili the zones you go through.  Start in the jungles and end up in the high alpine.

The Robinson gang, minus Tate.

The man, the myth, the legend.

Headed up to our high camp at 16k feet, Kosovo.

A week on the mountain flew by!  It has been really fun looking back on these pictures.

Our tents for the night.  

Sure do love these two!  Amazing humans with huge appetites for adventure. 

The conga line of porters, guides, and clients.

Eye on the prize!

I will remember the porters as much as anything.  Amazing humans, always smiling, always stoked.  

 

Africa

More Kili pics.  This was a steep descent.

Unreal trees huh!

Kili has a lot of people on it.  TBH, it only enhanced the experience rather than detracting.  

My Dad, taking a well deserved nap.

Off we go.

Yea boys.  

Scaling the Baranco Wall.

The kissing rock.
 

Africa

Digging through these pics is unreal.  What a good time.  The crew, camp number 2. 

Dad, with Kili in the background. 

Warm meals in a tent 3x a day.  Living!

Mr. Paul, one of our amazing guides.
