The Kili team will be rising early today and preparing their gear for a 5-7hr (11km) trek up to Barranco Camp.

A nice, challenging day today that will take them up to the Lava Tower and the Shark’s Tooth rock formation at 4,600m and then dropping back down to sleep at Barranco Camp (3,900m) aiding in their acclimatization by reaching a new high point and then retreating to a lower altitude to rest.

Yesterday they came up from Machame Camp at (2,835m) to Shira Camp (3,850m)t through the low alpine grasslands. Shira Camp has some pretty spectacular views of Mount Meru in the East and Kibo in the North West so we’ll be looking forward to seeing their photos.

All well from Kili,

Cheers
Caroline
