about

The Treacherous Snows by Andrew C. Hartzell recounts a climbing vacation to Mt. Kilimanjaro. For most, the climb is a test of strength, endurance, and willpower. But for local guides and porters who supply tourists with strong backs and knowledge of the terrain, the climb is just part of the job. The final leg to the summit on December 31, 1983 began with the lead guide Effatta Jonathan waking the group up at 1:00 a.m.

lyrics

we time our final climb
to arrive by dawn
the same thing every time
just the like the week before
with bedrooms on our backs
and kitchens without sinks
provisions of all kinds enough to please a king
we’ll never see the place
from where these people come where buildings reach the sky where riches can be won
we’ll slowly reach the top
then slowly we’ll descend
a day or two at home
then we’ll do it all again
yeah we’ll see our families smile then we’ll do it all again
