pole pole, mzungu

We did it. All 19,340 feet of it. Four days. Another 7 hours and 24 minutes. Below-zero temps. The midnight summit climb, i.e. total darkness. 9.5-hour, 2-day descent.










This is what the top of the world looks like at sunrise.

Pretty dang sweet.

Keep checking back-- more photos are on the way along with a bit of narrative of my two weeks away from the farm with Critter: safari in Tsavo East, THE climb, a delectable culinary experience at Carnivore Nairobi and Simba Saloon, Lanet and Nakuru town proper, and safari at Lake Nakuru.

These two weeks are going to be tough to beat...ever. :)
