Kilimanjaro, July 2017

The start was in a tropical forest.

Porters carried all the supplies.

Early going was a bit tricky.

Ever upward.

Above the tree line.

No idea what this is.

Onward and upward!

Typical overnight camp

The view as we neared the summit.

We ate a box lunch at the summit. Notice how the packages have swelled in the lower atmosphere.

The glacier that used to be an obstacle has almost completely melted.
