Kilimanjaro Update 5

9/17

Day 3- Some of the team hd a difficult time sleeping last night because of the altitude but ll seems well this morning

Tech40 alpine pro recorded temp. of 36 degrees F in the tent last night. Osprey kestrel 38 is fitting and performing well

Made camp 3 at 2pm. 15000ft. Slow going but everyone seems to be remaining strong. Thank you merrel boots! Everyone is enjoying their boots.

Wow what a view! Came to lava tower at 15000ft. And it was snowing. The snow has left and the sun is starting to come thru the clouds. We will spend the night here and hopefully get some sleep. Some of the team are feeling the effects of the altitude, headache, shortness of breathe but everyone is hanging strong. SENE has provided awesome service and great food! Anyone looking to come to kilimanjaro needs to go with SENE top notch.

The team is also loving the socks provided by Darn Tough. Thank you to all the sponsors friends, and family that have made this trip possible
