Our Kilimanjaro team are doing great and enjoying some stunning weather. Today they tackled the Barranco Wall early in the day, which leads up precipitously up to the day’s high point (where they are rewarded with some more amazing Kilimanjaro views) before dropping down once again into Karanga Camp which is beneficial for their acclimatization. About a 5hour day experiencing the unique alpine desert environment.

From here they are in striking distance of the summit, tomorrow they’ll move up to Barafu Camp (High Camp), The word ‘barafu’ is the Swahili word for ‘ice’, which refers to the cold climate at this altitude before tackling the summit the following day.

Lead Guide Gerry reports the team are moving really well and having a great time.

Cheers
CTSS Team
