This is Bruce. He was one of the Germans's porters. He was the one who served us meals.

These are the guides and porters sorting out the gear and preparing to go. It all seemed pretty chaotic and didn't exactly inspire confidence that we'd end up with the right number of tents, food stuffs, etc...

That's August, my guide, on the left enjoying a Coke. This was the at the camp on the first day. I can tell because there is still a lot of vegetation around.

This is David, the Brit's guide.

This is Tony, with my bag. He carried my bag and some other stuff up the mountain, on his head.

Some porters passing us on the trail.
