The team are up at Shira Camp readying for another great day of trekking and enjoying the great food and hospitality and porters. From this camp, they have stunning views of not only the mountain but the African Savannah below.

Relatively straight forward day today, with approximately 4miles to the Lava Tower  – a 300ft tall volcanic rock formation. Then it’s a 2mile descent down to Barranco Camp which is a nice, protected large camp through the Senecio Forest to an altitude of 13,000ft at the base Barranco Wall.

With the up and down of the day, the team will begin and end at the same elevation which is ideal for acclimatization. Everyone moving really well.

Cheers
Caroline
