Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Climb and Celebrate
Jambo from Kilimanjaro
Today the team did a fantastic job climbing the intimidating looking Barranco Wall. It is the technical hurdle of this expedition and everyone did great and almost everyone enjoyed the challenge, of course the porters made it look easy as the climbed the wall with their loads carefully balanced on their heads.
Once above the wall we took a well deserved break to enjoy the views of the valleys below, but unfortunately the upper mountain was obscured by clouds. The team climbed slow and steady as we made our way up and down a few ridges before finally arriving in the Karanga Valley where we'll camp for the night.
We also got to celebrate Rob Junell's 70th birthday here with him! And our gracious staff surprised him with a wonderful cake this evening.
Everyone is in good spirits and are looking forward to heading to our high camp tomorrow where we will start our summit bid from.
