After a first few successful days on Kilimanjaro, our team climbers made their way past the Baranco Wall to reach Africa’s tallest peak on Sunday, August 4th!
Congratulations to:
- Christopher M.
- Kenneth J.
- CTSS Guide Gerry M.
We offer climbs on Kilimanjaro that are a little different than other operators because, as you probably know, we are a true mountaineering guide service rather than simply a trek operator. Because of this, we have a different approach to and philosophy about high-altitude treks, acclimatization schedules, and safety and we believe all of our climbers benefit from our expertise and the high caliber of guide staff. You can see more of this in action for our December team departure, where Pega Sherpa will be taking the reigns to help climbers not only successfully reach the Roof of Africa but also offer expert guidance to prepare these climbers for expeditions in Nepal and beyond.
Pega is one of the world’s best Himalayan guides. He brings a remarkable climbing resume, including seven summits of Mount Everest, summits of both Cho Oyu and Lhotse, and many more high-altitude peaks throughout the Himalayas. As one of our clients (and a Seven Summits finisher) recently shared, “Pega is a legend,” and we couldn’t agree more!
Here are a few photos from the team, thanks to climber Chris M. for sharing these photos.
The Roof of Africa! Congrats to Ken and Chris.
We deploy the best guides and top-notch logistics so you can focus on climbing and enjoying the journey.
