Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team Tackle the Barranco Wall
Can we have a couple more beautiful days please?! I don't like to beg but if we can continue with weather like this we would greatly appreciate it.
A nice lazy start to the day was our plan in order to miss the traffic while climbing the Barranco Wall. The Barranco Wall is a series of rock bands just out of camp that gets your attention and requires your hands from time to time. At the top of the Wall we took some photos and gave each other some high fives before continuing on our way. We then traversed below the upper mountain for a couple hours to end up at Karanga Camp (13,160') for the night. Camp is situated on a bit of a slope but our staff did a fine job of finding some pretty flat ground for the tents.
We continue to adjust both mentally and physically to this extreme environment; we're meeting the challenges head on. This team did there homework, taking training to heart prior to the climb and the investment is paying off. What a great group to climb with on Kilimanjaro!

Love to all. Sounds like a fine climb all around. Forgot to wish someone a Happy Birthday yesterday. Happy Birthday, Mr. Wright. This is one of the most remarkable venues for a 30th. Good planning! Wanted to let you know we’re flying James Taylor on to the summit to celebrate with you. XO Meg

Hello on Kilimanjaro! Not surprised that the Rogers clan is doing well. Carl and I did some walking back in time today. First at Stonehenge and then we walked up the tower at Salisbury Cathedral! It was an absolutely FABULOUS day!! Nate, I took lots of pictures inside the tower for you, and wished you were with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you every step of the way. Love to all. xxoo
