Donovan and others are leading 13 Mazamas up the Western Breach of Kilimanjaro this week. One of the climbers is blogging the expedition here and describes Sunday as follows:
We headed back up to the foothills where Donovan had lived. We saw the house where he lived and offered a hostel type environment to travelers. We then hiked around foothills for about 2-3 hours, seeing many Chagga, touring a school and church and several homes. Tonight we’ll have our preclimb meeting and check out equipment. Tomorrow we head off the Londorossi Gate to start the climb.
Good luck, guys!
