Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team Ascend to Barranco Camp

June 15, 2017

Posted by: Mark Tucker

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Elevation: 12,800'

We enjoyed yet another perfect day of climbing. After a nice four course breakfast at the Shira Camp the team shoulder their packs and ascended to over 14,500', a high point for all team members. After a nice break and taking in some great views above and below we then had to descend into our new camp, Barranco. Situated in an amazing valley at just under 13,000' we are here enjoying more fantastic vistas. As usual our fabulous local outfitter had camp and snacks all set upon arrival. We have had a few intermittent showers of a mixture of snow and rain but overall it's not too bad. Everyone is doing well and we are enjoying our time on the mountain. RMI Guide Mark Tucker
