We took the Machame route up Kili, and pictures are by day:

Day 1, Jan. 1^st 2003 Machame gate (5,906 ft.) to Machame hut (9,803 ft.)

43 guides and porter               The unamog is ready for business

Has anyone seen this @@#%^?!! tent?!!

  Oh, here it is!!

Day 2, Jan. 2^nd - Machame to Shira hut (12,598 ft.)

   There is a mountain here!!        Loo with a view

  Meru was a site to behold (even without the loo)

 Day 3, Jan 3^rd - Shira to Barranco hut (12,959 ft., with a high-point in between of about 15,000 ft.)

Day 5, Jan 5^th - Barafu to summit (19,341 ft.) to Mweka hut (10,171 ft.)

Descending

Day 6, Jan 6^th - Out

Mweka Trail - what a relief!

  Our fearless leader shows us what he thinks of the nice picture site

  And a well-deserved beer, at that

At the hotel

      He may look short, but Josef was all muscle (that's how I justify it, anyway)

  Jeff shows the usefulness (not geekiness) of 2 pocket holders

  Did Donna realize she was on film?

  The day after our climb reveals the best view yet of Kibo & Mawenzi from the hotel
