Kilimanjaro Victory– Phil Robinson Speaking at the New Mexico Mountaineering Club- January 21, 2026

Описание: The New Mexico Mountaineering Club has an annual event where members share their mountain climbing adventures. This club has been going on since the 1950’s. I was honored to be able to share my 46.1-mile adventure to the highest freestanding mountain in the world, the highest in Africa, Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. We started in the jungle with the monkeys and ascended on a full moon night 6 days later. The temperature was near zero, our water jugs were freezing and an apple froze solid. This hike was a celebration for me turning age 70. We saw 2 rare Tree Hyrax way up in the jungle branches. I hiked with my friend Amy and 4 others from the eastern part of the US. We had 21 porters, cooks and guides and went with the wonderful group, Climb Kili, September 3rd through 8th, 2025.

We took the 7-day Machame Route; Machame gate to Machame Camp, to Shira Cave Camp, to Lava Tower, to Barranco Camp, up the Barranco wall while passing Kissing Rock, to Karanga Camp to Kosovo Camp, to the very tip top Uhuru Peak 19,341’. We then descended 9,807’ on the same day we hiked the peak, to Mweka Camp, then out Mweka gate.
