11 women, 2 guides....the countdown has started. Just over ten days until departure. The team has been training and preparing for the climb for the last few months - running, spinning, lifting, and hiking, gathering equipment and gear, preparing for summit night and raising funds for the Amani children's home, http://www.amanikids.org/
This Thursday, January 14th, they will gather at Alison Wiley's (LOLA owner and in house fitness trainer) house for a "summit training" session. Led by Everest climber, LOLA owner and guide Angus Murray, the team of 11 will do a night hike fully decked out in their summit clothing. This is a last chance for the team of intrepid climbers to check their gear and their clothing systems.
Good Luck team Kili 2010!
