Kilimanjaro: Waterfall & Team Ascend to Barranco Camp
Hello! The team has moved camp once again and everyone is doing well. We had a long-ish (6.5 hour) day today and everyone handled it really well.
We left the Shira Plateau at 8:00 AM under cloudy skies. After a little bit we started to get some rain and I was sure we were going to get poured on all day but it tapered off after about 1/2 hour. The weather for the rest of the day was what I would call misty as we were in a cloud for the most part.
Our route climbed about 2500' from our camp at a gentle grade. Our high point was 14,900' at the base of a large lava tower. We grabbed lunch up there and the walked the steep downhill trail to our camp.
The team thought we might see some R.O.U.S.'s at one point on the way down but we did not.
We are all looking forward to another great dinner provided by the Dik Dik staff and then a good night's rest
That's all for now.

I have to ask, what is a R.O.U.S.‘s? Great to hear your progress.
